ancient Roman
From Caesar's time
A person from ancient Rome or its empire, the civilization that dominated the Mediterranean world from roughly the 8th century BCE to the 5th century CE.
The term distinguishes historical Romans from modern Italians: The ancient Romans built aqueducts that still stand today.
As an adjective, it describes things from that era: ancient Roman architecture, ancient Roman law.
