How long did the Roman Empire stand for, until it crumbled?
Eh. It never really fell. In the Eighth century the city of Rome was beginning to blossom, by the fourth century A.D. it was all but destroyed. It's empire however went on in the East for another 1000 years. MODERN historians call this period the Byzantine era even though the Eastern Empire had an unbroken line of Emperors from Roman lineage and they referred to themselves as Roman. It is amazing to consider that if these late Romans had existed for another 40 years they would have been around to hear of Columbus' journey to the East Indies.





Not only that, but all of the Roman offices are still alive today, except one, Imperator. Many have claimed this title, the kings of the Holy Roman Empire, Romania, the dictator Mussolini, Napoleon.





Roman ideals and culture are overtly present in Europe, and they're imbued in the very soul of America. So I never agree with the assessment that Rome actually fell. Even the old city still exists in some way.





Also, here is a list I wrote for a similar question of all the things the Romans are still influencing today:





Language- Latin is the basis for most Western languages


Religion- Rome spread Christianity to all of the known corners of the world proliferating its rise to the largest religion on the planet.


Law- The Lex Duodecim Tabulae is the world's first constitution, Rome's order over its dominion rivals that of any modern country. People respected Roman order, not just the Roman sword.


Culture- The total acceptance of all races is perhaps the hallmark of Roman philosophy. Famously, "Rome didn't care what you believed, so long as you paid your taxes".


Misc- The eagle was Rome's national emblem, now it is America's. In addition, most of America's governmental and cultural icons are based on structures located throughout Rome's vast empire (Washington Monument, Statue of Liberty, Lincoln Memorial, ect.). The Holy Romans, the Romanians, Napoleon, Hitler, and Mussolini all considered their actions to be the reinstatement of the Roman Empire. Pontifex Maximus, a title given to the Roman Emperor, now belongs to the Pope in Rome.
Reply:27 BC (as an Empire when Octavian was made Augustus) to 1453 (The Eastern Empire aka Byzantine Empire considered themselves the Roman Empire to the end)
