Proofreading Sample (Before/After)
Before (uncorrected)
The Roman empire was one of the most largest in history, stretching from Britian to the middle east. Its legacy can still be seeing today, in language, law, and art. But the empire was not just about aqueducts and armies — it was about people: senators who schemed, soldiers who bled, slaves who hope’d for freedom.
Julius Caesar is often remembered as a general and a statesmen. His conquest of Gaul, and the civil war that followed, shifted Rome from a republic into empire. Yet Caesar himself never called himself Emperor. He prefered the title Dictator perpetuo — dictator for life. His assasination on the ides of March, 44BC, showed just how much tension boiled beneath the marble.
Still, Rome’s reach was vast. Roads laid down more than 2,000 years ago are still in use. Latin words shape our language: from “video” to “manual.” Even our calender carries Roman fingerprints. For better or worse, Rome still whispers through every brick of modern life.
