Empire
Scholars still debate about what exactly constitutes an empire (from the
Latin "
imperium", denoting military
command within the ancient Roman government). Generally, they may define an empire as a
state that extends dominion over populations distinct
culturally and
ethnically from the culture/ethnicity at the center of
power. Other definitions may emphasize economic or political factors. The term generally implies military
hegemonic power.
