Empires have shaped human history, often growing from a single city or cultural group into territories spanning continents.
Some empires emerged through conquest, and others grew through trade or shrewd alliances. Their borders, captured in maps described by historians or revealed by long-forgotten burials and artefacts, show how far their influence once reached.
