The Roman Empire was united by many things, such as a common language, a common sense of duty to the state (which was often displayed through military service). The Roman Empire was not always an Empire. It was previously a Republic governed by the Roman citizens through the institution of the Senate. However after Julius Caesaer's assassination the Republic descended into a civil war. Caesar's nephew Octavian Caesar (later Augustus Caesar) won the civil war and founded the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire was a pagan Empire whose people worshipped various planets like the Jupiter, Mars and so on. The Roman Empire was always forged with the help of military might. It included multivariate races such as the Jews, Christians, Gauls, Teutons etc. With time the Empire became so huge that it had to be split into two parts- The Western and Eastern Roman Empires. The was governed from Rome while the East was governed from Athens. Soon this system failed as the East and West both descended into full civil war. Emperor Contantine was the first Roman Emperor to adopt Christianity. Ultimately he won the war and unified the Roman Empires into one strong Empire. He also built a new city-Constantinople which became the new capital. Gradually the entire Roman world inspired by Emperor Constantine converted into Christianity thus unifying the Roman Empire both politically and culturally.
