The morally corrupt Hasmonean rule continued deep into the 1st Century BCE, where selfish interests ultimately forced them to turn to Rome for mediation, opening the door to total submission under Roman rule.
The roots of Rome are tied to the legend of Romulus and Remus in 753 BCE. By 500 BCE, Rome was already an organized republic governed by a senate. The Romans conquered Greece and its colonies and were heavily influenced by Greek culture entrenched in the ancient world. Rome brought with it diligent, disciplined, and methodical values, and revolutionized construction and infrastructure development, leaving behind phenomenal building feats like aqueducts, building structures, highways, and roads.
The Romans refined the Grecian battle strategies into systematic and more manoeuvrable battle units called legions. This, in addition to their fiercely competitive, aggressive, and outright brutal approach in battle, made the Roman army an indestructible war machine.
