C. Its a fact，however，that by 100 A. D., Rome was the centre of a big empire. It was from Syria in the east to Spain in the west，from Britain in the north to Africa in the south. All or part of 27 of todays countries were included in the Roman Empire. All of their people were ruled by one government，that of Rome. All educated people spoke the same language，Latin. And one of the empires outposts(前哨) was called Londinium. This unimportant town would later become London，England，and the, centre of another empire.The Roman Empire came to an end about 1 ,500 years ago. Yet in some ways it is still with us. Take the letters you are reading，for example，English，like many other languages，uses the Roman alphabet(字母)while also borrowing many words. The laws of many European countries are based on ancient Roman laws. Roman ruins(废墟)are seen throughout Europe，North Africa, and the Middle East. In some places，Roman roads and water courses are still in use. To this day，a European in North Africa is likely to be called Roumi- Roman. Even modern place names are often after Ancient Rome. Both Greece and Germany have the names given by the Romans rather than the names that their own people first called them.41 .
