And in this blue-green color, this is the kingdom. The gold color, this yellow color, is the Republic. And then the red color is when the empire gets established by Julius Caesar and his adopted son, Augustus. And as we get into this, I guess you could say this Republic period, or into the Roman Republic, this is when it starts to really exert itself as more of a dominant influence in the region. And it continues to be a dominant influence in the region for several hundred years. And then as we get into the first several hundred years in the Common Era, so after the time of Jesus, as we get into the 200s, the 300s, this is when we start to see a real decline of the Roman Empire. And the Western Empire, at least, gets sacked multiple times in the fifth century.
