| Summary: | The Roman Empire extending from the pillars of Hercules to the Agean Sea, from the shores of North West Africa and Egypt to those of Spain, Gaul, Italy and Germany had dominated and united the entire basin of the Mediterranean Sea which it called "Mare Nostrum”. It had also evolved around this sea an Empire and a civilization with Mediterranean characteristics. This politico-cultural unity further reinforced by Christianity was preserved through all the civil wars and invasions of the later Empire. Even the barbarian invasion which ended with the sack of Rome by Alaric in 410 A. D., had not altered in its essentials the basic Roman and Mediterranean characteristic of this civilization. |
