History of the Roman Empire and its battles. When Octavian took the title of Augustus in 27 BC he created the Roman Empire from the former republic. From then on Rome's power stretched further and further encompassing all of Europe as far as Britain and east to Babylonia, as well as taking in Egypt at its southern extent. After the third century, however, Rome began to decline in its power and influence, eventually falling, after being split into the Byzantine and Roman Empires, in 476BC.

Conspiracy in the Senate
The Roman Emperors
Vercingetorix and Caractacus
Battle of Medway River in AD43. Emperor Claudius sent several Roman Legions to conquer Britain, on reaching the Medway river they met Caractacus and his forces. After taking out the British horses, the Romans under Vespasian forded the river upstream to inflict a blow at the Britons flank. The Britons were routed and Palutius moved on to Colchester.
Caractacus lead the Britons during their guerilla war against the Roman legions during the period AD43 to AD50. during the Second Roman Invasion of Britain. In AD50 Roman legions under Ostorious Scapula cornered Caractacus and his force on a hill in Shropshire near the welsh Border. Caractacus escaped and fled north to the Brigantes tribe.  He tried to recruit them to oppose the Romans but the Tribal Queen handed him over to the Romans. he was taken with his family to Rome where the Emperor Claudius I paraded Caractacus and his family through he streets of Rome.  After  this spectacle Claudius amazingly free Caractacus and his family.
Avaricum (Bourges) during the Gallic Wars in 52 BC. Julius Caesar was intent on conquering Gaul and had all but done so when a revolt led by a young Arvernian called Vercingetorix changed that. The Carnutes massacred all Roman inhabitants at Orleans and on hearing of this Caesar immediately led two legions to retake the city. Caesar then moved to Avaricum where the legionaries routed the Gallic force and laid siege to the town. Shortly after they stormed in and killed all but 800 inhabitants out of 40,000.

 

The Romans in Britain
The War Between Rome and Carthage
Carthage became a military power in the Mediterranean and its growth led to the conflict with Rome which led to what are known as the Punic Wars.
As the 2nd Punic War ended, the Romans stripped Carthage of all possessions and most of its wealth. However, Carthage managed to rebuild itself until it was again powerful. A quarrel with a neighbouring state which happened to be an ally of Rome led to the 3rd Punic War. In 150 BC Rome demanded that Carthage be abandoned to which the Carthaginians said no. The battle lasted for 3 years, with the Carthaginians refusing to give up until finally overcome. Some residents escaped while others were sold as slaves. Carthage itself was burned and was never rebuilt.

Battle of Zama by Brian Palmer.

Hannibal had invaded Italy by taking his army including war elephants across the mountains and into northern Italy. He defeated the Romans in three major battles including Cannae, but he did not take Rome when he had the chance. Once Rome had strengthened its forces, the Romans invaded Carthage. The second Punic War between Rome and Carthage was brought to a conclusion on the plains of Zama (modern Tunisia) with the Romans inflicting a crushing defeat on the army of Hannibal.
