Within the empire the landowning elite creamed off the wealth of the countryside to pay taxes to the state and fund the towns and villas where they lived. The masses of people slaves, serfs and poor peasants were victims of a grand exploitation that made the empire possible. This system, riddled with tension and latent conflict, contained the seeds of its own eventual collapse.

Where do we come from? Who are our ancestors? Who built the place where we live? In short, who are we? The Romans were bound to ask such questions. By the time of the Emperor Augustus (31 BC to AD 14) and probably long before they had clear answers.
Stories about the origins of Rome and the Romans survive in the works of two of the Augustan Ages leading men of letters: in Virgils epic poem The Aeneid , and in Book 1 of Livys History of Rome . From them we learn that Rome by then the capital city of a global superpower was conceived as an imperial phoenix rising from the flames of burning Troy over a thousand years before.
