Caput Mundi
''Caput Mundi'' is a Latin phrase taken to mean "capital of the world" (literally: "head of the world";〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dictionary of Latin Phrases and Proverbs: C )〕 see capital, capitol). It originates out of a classical European understanding of the known world: Europe, North Africa, and Southwest Asia. Because of the enduring power of Ancient Rome and the Roman Catholic Church, in this sphere, the city of Rome has adopted as its nickname ''Caput Mundi'' or "Capital of the World". ==Rome==
The influence of Rome in the ancient world began to grow around the 2nd century BC as the Republic expanded across Southern Europe and North Africa. For the next five centuries, Rome would govern much of the known world. The cultural influence of the local language of Rome (Latin) as well as Roman art, architecture, law, religion and philosophy was immense.
