In the 3rd century, the Empire underwent a crisis that threatened its existence, as the Gallic and Palmyrene Empires broke away from the Roman state, and a series of short-lived emperors, often from the legions, led the Empire. Rome reached its greatest territorial expanse during the reign of Trajan (AD 98–117) a period of increasing trouble and decline began with the reign of Commodus (177–192). The first two centuries of the Roman Empire saw a period of unprecedented stability and prosperity known as the Pax Romana ( lit. The vast Roman territories were organized in senatorial and imperial provinces except Italy, which continued to serve as a metropole. Octavian's power became unassailable and the Roman Senate granted him overarching power and the new title of Augustus, making him the first Roman emperor. The following year, Octavian conquered the Ptolemaic Kingdom in Egypt, ending the Hellenistic period that had begun with the 4th century BC conquests of Alexander the Great. Civil wars and proscriptions continued, eventually culminating in the victory of Octavian over Mark Antony and Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium in 31 BC.

The predecessor state of the Roman Empire, the Roman Republic became severely destabilized in civil wars and political conflicts. Because of these events, along with the gradual Hellenization of the Eastern Roman Empire, historians distinguish the medieval Roman Empire that remained in the Eastern provinces as the Byzantine Empire.

The City of Rome remained the nominal capital of both parts until AD 476 when the imperial insignia were sent to Constantinople following the capture of the Western capital of Ravenna by the Germanic barbarians. The Empire was later ruled by multiple emperors who shared control over the Western Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire. From the accession of Caesar Augustus as the first Roman emperor to the military anarchy of the 3rd century, it was a principate with Italy as the metropole of its provinces and the city of Rome as its sole capital. As a polity, it included large territorial holdings around the Mediterranean Sea in Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia, and was ruled by emperors.
