One of the greatest empires was located in the Mediterranean biome, the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire reigned from 625 BC–AD 476. Rome was very successful because of its superior military authority. That is the main influential factor that cemented Roman power for many years. Also, the Romans had a very effective senate. The government was mostly a republic, which was desirable over the barbarians and tyrants that were also around.
