From the four great ancient civilizations to the pivotal events and figures of world history found in textbooks, the World History Treasure Hunt series from Isaeum lets kids learn through exciting adventures!\n\nThe hero of World History Treasure Hunt is none other than Bongpal, the lovable villain from the original Treasure Hunt series. But this isn't the relic agent Bongpal who used to torment Pangi and Tori — this is Paris, an eleven-year-old boy with deep knowledge of history.\n\nWorld History Treasure Hunt borrows the movie prequel format, tracing a character's story back to their past, and sets young Bongpal as the hero so readers can learn about key events in world history through his adventures.\n\nThis time, Bongpal travels to ancient Rome, the vast empire that ruled over an enormous territory. Have you ever heard sayings like 'All roads lead to Rome' or 'Rome wasn't built in a day'? The Rome in these sayings isn't today's capital city of Italy, but the Roman Empire that arose in central Italy around the 8th century BC and went on to conquer the Mediterranean world. It was the largest empire among the ancient Western states. Rome also absorbed the many cultures of the lands it conquered, blending them into its own unique culture and spreading it across its vast territories. As a result, Roman culture endured as European culture even after the empire's fall, becoming the foundation of Western history.\n\nShall we join our hero Bongpal in search of the treasures of the Roman Empire and discover the brilliant culture of the ancient Romans?\n\nThe history of the Roman Empire, which ruled a vast territory and laid the foundation of European culture!\n\nRome began as a small city-state on the banks of the Tiber River in central Italy. According to historians, around 1000 BC, farming villages sprang up on seven low hills, and over the following 300 years, these villages merged into the city-state that became Rome. Located on hills, the city-state had a natural advantage in defending against enemies, and the fertile plains along the Tiber River provided plenty of food. Building on these natural advantages, Rome gradually absorbed neighboring city-states and grew in strength. By around the 2nd century BC, it had developed into a vast empire centered on the Mediterranean, ruling over Europe as well as North Africa and West Asia.\n\nEven before the Roman Empire, the Mediterranean world had seen several advanced civilizations and powerful empires, but none could compare to the influence of Rome. Having unified the Mediterranean world and reigned as the ruler of the world for about a thousand years, the Roman Empire's politics, military, laws, and culture continue to have a profound influence today. Latin, the official language of the Roman Empire, became the root of numerous European languages including Spanish, French, and Italian, and Roman law, established to effectively govern such a vast empire, became the foundation of Western law. Rome also invented concrete construction methods, leaving behind sturdy and beautiful structures like the Colosseum and the Pantheon, and Christianity, which became the official religion of the Roman Empire in the late 4th century, grew into a world religion still practiced by many today.\n\nWithin this empire that left behind such a great culture were many heroes, including Caesar and Octavian. Caesar conquered Gaul, gaining vast new territory, and became dictator for life, wielding power equal to that of an emperor. Though he was assassinated by a faction of senators wary of his power, Caesar left behind countless achievements and remains etched in history as a symbolic leader of the Roman Empire. Octavian, who rose like a comet in Roman society, quickly won the support of the Senate and the people through his brilliant strategies, and after defeating his rival Antony's fleet off the coast of Actium in Greece, rose to become the most powerful figure in Rome. He was later given the title Augustus, meaning 'the revered one,' effectively becoming the emperor of Rome.\n\nThe Roman Empire — a land of dazzling culture and great heroes!
