Romans
Ancient Italian empire-builders
Romans are the people of Rome, whether the ancient civilization that dominated the Mediterranean world or modern inhabitants of the Italian capital.
The ancient Romans built an empire, developed law and engineering, and left lasting influence on Western culture: The Romans conquered Gaul.
Romans is also a book of the New Testament—Paul's epistle to the Christian community in Rome, foundational to Protestant theology. (Lowercase romans sometimes appears in typography for upright type.)
