Brief Italian History
The Roman Empire is famous as one of the great early civilisations, and has left its mark on most of the world and its languages. Roman coins are still found in large quantities today, although Roman gold coins are rare. The Roman Empire crumbled in the late 5th century, after which Italy was a land of small kingdoms and city states. The Renaissance started in Italy, particularly in the wealthy states of Florence and Venice with its gold ducats which were imitated widely. The modern unification of Italy as a nation only began in 1861 under King Vittorio Emanuele II of Sardinia. There were only four kings before Italy became a republic in 1946.
