civilization

Answer 2

From Roman writings, we know that the people at the time [say, about 150 BD to about 350 AD] referred to it just as "Roma." The Rman Senate issued orders in the name of the "Senate and the Roman People" - you see the initials SPQR in the documents - that is for Senatus et Populus Quorum Romanum ["Senate and the Roman People"].

While we call Rome an Empire, it depended where you were. In the rest of Italy and in Gaul, you were technically in the city-state of Rome itself. Other nations were just closely allied or were under Rome's ultimate jurisdiction [Greece and Syria], and some were closely allied but eventually Roman provinces [Palestina].
