The culture of Rome is the oldest continuous culture in human history, existing longer than even Egyptian culture. For nearly 3000 years, it has grown from the assimilation of people and their cultures, borrowing expedient and desirable practices for itself. The modern culture which has resulted from this millennial process is a beautiful quilt of traditions and values built from disparate materials. Weaving these colors together is a purple fabric, symbolizing the common religious beliefs, language, and fundamental philosophy of the predominant Italian subculture.

abstract	The culture of Rome is the oldest continuous culture in human history, existing longer than even Egyptian culture. For nearly 3000 years, it has grown from the assimilation of people and their cultures, borrowing expedient and desirable practices for itself. The modern culture which has resulted from this millennial process is a beautiful quilt of traditions and values built from disparate materials. Weaving these colors together is a purple fabric, symbolizing the common religious beliefs, language, and fundamental philosophy of the predominant Italian subculture. Altogether, these diverse cultures constitute the superculture that is Roman society. Aspects of ancient Syria, Carthage, Persia, Gaul, Germany, Israel, Numidia, Hispania, and others are integrated into the agglomeration. Some - like Egyptian, Phoenician, Gallic or Hebrew culture - have defined themselves as prominent subcultures; comparable in influence to the predominant Italian one; in their own right. None is more noticeable, of course, than Hellenic culture. One might even say that Roman society is more defined by the culture of the ancient Greeks than the ancient Italians. Outside the Empire, an armada of independent nations floats on this sea of Roman culture - falling under its massive sphere of influence. Roman goods are shipped to every market, Roman programming is played on telescreens everywhere, and Latin is understood by over half of humanity. Politics of the Imperium Romanum are keenly observed by politicians and regular folk across the globe; its events ultimately affecting the planet. This Romanosphere is global in scale and ancient in age. However, it stems from, or perhaps has produced, a belief in the dominance of Mediterranean cultures. By consequence, only Greeks, Syrians, Numidians and the like are granted citizenship in the great Empire whereas foreigners, known disdainfully as the peregrini, are subject to the burdensome tributum to the Senate and left undefended by the Constitution.
