What period did ancient Rome encompass?

  1. 1000 BC – 500 AD

  2. 450 BC – 400 AD

  3. 500 BC – 500 AD

  4. 500 BC – 200 AD

The correct answer is: 500 BC – 200 AD

Ancient Rome, as a civilization, is usually considered to have begun in the 8th century BC with the founding of the city of Rome, and to have lasted until the 5th century AD with the fall of the Western Roman Empire. While all of the answer choices cover a certain time period within this range, only option D encompasses the entirety of ancient Rome, from its early beginnings to the end of the Western Empire. Options A, B, and C all either start or end before this time period, making them incorrect.
