In its many centuries of existence, through conquest, cultural, and linguistic assimilation, the Roman Empire also controlled the North African coast, the Balkans, and much of the Middle East, including parts of Mesopotamia and Arabia. This presentation highlights the archeological sites outside of Italy in Jordan, Syria and Turkey. Photos of these sites are included in the presentation.
