What was the width of the roman empire?
The Roman Empire stretched from Spain to Iran and from Britain to Ethiopia. It had such areas as Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Hungary, Romania, North Africa, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, all the little East Mediterranean nations, and such. It was the third largest ancient empire. It was smaller than the ancient Chinese Han Empire and the ancient Persian Empire. But, the Romans lasted much longer than the Persians, and the Republic and Empire days lasted much longer altogether than the Chinese empire (and almost every other one that can be thought of). In all of world history, though, the Romans are number 16. America is number 9. The British Empire was number 1. It was 7 times larger than the Romans and 3.5 times larger than the U.S. at its height. I hope I helped.
