It also covers the regal period that started in 753 BC and the city's founding. Byzantine Empire for events that took place later in the Empire of the East. Rome has to rank among the greatest imperial powers in history. Rome began as a small town on the Tiber River in central Italy and over the course of centuries grew into a vast empire that eventually included England, all of continental Europe west of the Rhine and south of the Danube, most of Asia west of the Euphrates, northern Africa, and the Mediterranean islands. The Romans were great in their military, political, and social structures, in contrast to the Greeks who excelled in intellectual and creative pursuits. Rome is the third most visited city in Europe and the fifteenth most visited city globally, thanks to its unmatched history. In addition to its famous food and vibrant environment, the city draws tourists from all over the world who are eager to explore its amazing structures and archaeological sites. Visitors may readily understand how the gladiators fought for their life in the arena, supported by the spectators, as they explore the Colosseum. Travelers will see the chariots colliding in the Circus Maximus as they rush to be the first one to finish, and they will envision Roman public life in the Roman Forum. Rome was known to the ancient Romans as the "Eternal City" because they thought that Rome would always stand, regardless of what occurred in the rest of the world. Walking through the city center and taking in the magnificent monuments and enormous ruins transports you back to the "glory that was Rome."
