The research tree will allow you to research different capabilities and technologies in the game. Without researching, the game is much harder, and this is because of the fact that things are less efficient. You can access the research tree at any time by scrolling to the top of the screen and left clicking the research bar.



This will bring up the following screen:



Once you are here, you will find several items, these are items that you can currently research. You must research some of the available items here before you can research anything else, however, you can view what is available to research by left clicking the "All Research" icon underneath what Denarii you have available.



From this screen, you can also semi-automate research; you can select something that is completely right, for example, Poetry. This will research everything before this technology, and then the technology you have chosen to research. When researching technologies, you can view the progress by viewing the green line in the research bar. Also present in the research bar is what is currently being researched. The example below being "Bronze Working".



Below, are all the items of research in CivCity Rome, along with descriptions, the amount of Denarii to research it and what it unlocks.
