The Romans

The Romans are recognized to be one of the most powerful civilizations known. It is located in the point of the Tiber River, which is easy to cross from North to South. One of the ways they managed to become successful was through trade, since they are close to the Mediterranean Sea. Additionally, they had protection from invasion from living next to the Appennine Mountains. This gave them time to grow. Ways they had grow was developing a unique 
governmental structure and a strong military. They additionally managed to protect their society by creating a 
sewage system that would prevent wast in entering.  They had slaves work in the lead mines and later on they
had the government provide free grain to feed the people. But in order to do this they had to chop down 
thousands of trees and establish farms. But by ripping the trees it did bad to the community since trees prevent
erosion from the river, but now it started entering their society and with the rainfall, there was much more 
chances in having floods. Due to this, they needed trees and expanded to Northern Africa. This was 
where the most deforestation had occurred. Later this meant that meant there would be a lack of crops.
Then things had become worse for the Romans due to the fact that the deforestation brought Malaria. Due
to this it had led to the 10 percent loss of the population. Due to this it led to the decline of the Roman
Empire until it died out. The Roman Empire should be memorable for all the achievements they had until 
their killing of nature their demise.
