to understand the Roman expansionism one should consider the strong threats and attacks that Romans received at the beginning of their history the first came from Celts with Brenn, who first destroyed Rome in 390 bc the second came from Carthaginians, with Hannibal who invaded Italy in 217 bc expansionism was then a way for Romans to survive

[@Ismavolt]

The real reason for Roman expansionism is basically slaves. To run an Empire the way the Romans need you require a constant influx of slaves and goods.

[@mariorebelo1644]

@@Ismavolt Please develop that

[@Ismavolt]

@@mariorebelo1644 So it's no secret that one of the requirements to be superpower in ancient and classical times was the use of slaves to bolster the economy. Egypt did it, the Persians did it, the Greeks did it (heck, I think Sparta had like 80% of it's population as slaves) and the Romans did it. It was the norm. But the problem with Romans is that they didn't engage in chattel slavery as is commonly done. It was _technically_ chattel slavery but Romans had a very... progressive outlook on freeing slaves. It was common for a family to free a slave that had been useful and helpful as a sign of gratitude (of course, what I mean by this is that slaves were allowed to start their own family and avoid their children being born into slavery). This, added to the high mortality rates tied to slaves (the average life expectancy was like 18 years lol) meant that the Roman economy needed a constant influx of free labour to simply exist. When expansion started to become too expensive because there was too much territory to cover and to many people to fight it slowed down. This led to a decrease in captured people. And directly hurt the Roman economy. Which is one of the many factors that led to the inevitable downfall of the Roman Empire.

[@mariorebelo1644]

@@Ismavolt I'm aware of that. When I ask to develop your previous comment, was beacause I felt the impression that you where stating that getting more slaves was the primary reason for the Roman expantion

[@yoelchristian6332]

@@khyun125-o6j No, you misundertood my meaning. I never said anything about military strength. While yes, they have a strong military force, The success of the Roman Empire can be attributed to several key factors: Strong Military: The Romans built a powerful and disciplined military force. They developed advanced tactics, such as the manipular legion system, which allowed them to adapt to different battle conditions. They also incorporated conquered peoples into their military, thus expanding their fighting force. Political Organization: The Romans established a sophisticated system of government and administration. They initially had a republic, where power was distributed among elected officials. Later, it transitioned into an empire with an emperor at the helm. This system allowed for stability, efficient governance, and the ability to control vast territories. Infrastructure and Engineering: The Romans were known for their impressive infrastructure projects. They constructed a vast network of roads, bridges, and aqueducts, enabling efficient communication, trade, and the movement of armies. Their architectural accomplishments, such as the Colosseum and Pantheon, still stand as remarkable feats of engineering. Legal System: The Romans developed a comprehensive legal system that emphasized fairness and justice. Their laws, collectively known as Roman law, influenced legal systems in many parts of the world. The rule of law fostered stability and consistency within the empire. Assimilation of Cultures: As the Romans expanded their empire, they incorporated diverse cultures and peoples. They allowed conquered peoples to retain their customs, religions, and languages, promoting a sense of inclusion and reducing resistance. This approach facilitated the assimilation and integration of diverse regions into the empire. Economic Strength: The Romans had a thriving economy based on agriculture, trade, and slavery. They established trade networks that spanned across the Mediterranean and beyond, bringing wealth and resources to the empire. The Romans also implemented effective taxation systems, which helped finance their military campaigns and infrastructure projects. Technological Advancements: The Romans made significant contributions to technology and engineering. They developed advanced construction techniques, including the use of concrete, which revolutionized architecture. Their innovations in military technology, such as siege engines and improved weaponry, provided them with a strategic advantage. Cultural Influence: Roman culture, influenced by Greek and other Mediterranean civilizations, had a lasting impact on art, literature, philosophy, and governance. The spread of the Latin language and Roman customs throughout the empire helped unify diverse regions under a shared cultural framework.

UmadBRO1999, still the Eastern Roman Empire adopted and compiled Roman law to today's standards, they held Roman sports in arenas, their emperor's title was Caesar, their hosts were legions, and altough they spoke more Greek than Latin in a way there never was a formal end to the institution of the Roman Empire in the Eastern lands until 1453. Even their church leader held the title of Patriarch adopted in the early days of christianity as a state religion. There were patriarchs in Rome, Constantinopla, Jerusalem and Alexandria. The latter two were invaded soon and lost but today still have distinct christian comunities living amongst other religions, only Constantinopla kept the title Patriach, continued by the Orthodox Church to this day. As they say: "Rome never truly fell, It just switched continents".

The Republic in 26 BC literally is the same as the Empire in 30 BC, just that some administrative and ruling systems were changed, Rome's legacy and influence is so great that it doesn't have a beginning and an end, one could say that Rome began in 27 BC, another could say that it bagan in 507 BC, Another could go to the founding of the City of Rome in 753 BC, and another could go as far as the Fall of Troy and the escape of Aeneas and the Trojans, another could say that it was with the Dardanes or Trojans, since his father was a first cousin of King Priam of Troy (both being grandsons of Ilus, Founder of Troy), making Aeneas a Second Cousin to Priam's children (such as Hector and Paris). As for the ending, Most Historians (Western) believe that the Roman Empire ended in 476 AD, some in 480 AD, others in 486 AD, other Historians think the fall of Constantinople in 1453 AD is the end of the Roman Empire, others believe is with the fall of the Trebizond in 1461, and there are some who believe that it fell with the last Roman Successor State, in Epirus's fall in 1479 AD. Of course, some other people may say that the Roman Empire lives through it's successors: The Romance and Greek States. the Roman Empire was THE Empire of the World, and the most influental and known for a reason.

Know what's crazy? The Romans controlled places like Iberia, Algeria, and Greece for longer than the U.S. has controlled places like Texas and California, and controlled places like Gaul and Egypt for longer than the U.S. has controlled places like Hawaii and Alaska. A lot of people from those places could very well have saw themselves as Romans, despite the significantly slower communication between Rome and it's territories. Hell, a professor told me that when the Visigoths came to sack Rome, they weren't trying to destroy the Empire, they were trying to save it from corrupt, toxic rule and put Alaric on the throne.

The Greek Empire of the Byzantines were not Romans - - anymore than the Holy Roman Empire

[@afkbeto]

Except that the so--called "Byzantine Empire" was indeed Roman Empire. Many Emperors during the period of your true "Roman Empire" are not of Roman origin. Roman Emperor Constantine moved the imperial capital to Byzantium - and renamed it into Constantinople. Eventually after the fall of Rome, it is the Eastern Roman Empire that continued the tradition, administration, culture of the Romans. It was an Empire with Roman citizens. It was unlike the Holy Roman Empire that tried to usurp the Roman title, and duped the name "Byzantine" to the ERE because of that. At the time, everyone called the ERE as Roman Empire, and not Byzantine Empire. People and rulers of HRE were never Roman.

At its height the Roman Empire was 5,000,000 km² and had a population of over 50 million people. It was one of the largest pre-modern empires, although far smaller than, say, the Mongols. It was also a major centre for science, art, law, philosophy, etc., the sort of things that really make a empire or country great. As to the "shores and the seas" absurdity, boats were the fastest way to get around (no trains or cars), especially with cargo, so that's where the most of people and money were. Your comments about the Jews just add racism to what is otherwise a very stupid and ignorant point.

[@UmadBRO1999]

I wouldn't really call the Byzantine Empire the same as the Roman Empire... it's more of a spiritual continuation of it really, just like the Holy Roman Empire. The major problem with these two successors is that none of them incorporated the actual city of Rome in their Empires, and used it as the centre of power... which is really the defining feature of the Roman Empire. So by that definition Rome fell in 480 AD when it was sacked by the Vandals.

[@MeteorPhoenix1127]

By the Late Empire, Rome wasn't an important city anymore. "Romans" didn't mean people from the city of Rome; it meant the citizens of the empire, from misty Britannia to the deserts of Syria. The best Emperors the empire ever had (Trajan, Diocletian, Constantine) were *not* Roman Romans, and they brought the empire to untold heights. The Byzantine Empire is the Roman Empire because it's the only system that was still being run by Roman citizens within what had always been the Roman Empire. The Holy Roman Empire was being run by people who had never been citizens, never been part of the imperial government, and were reigning from a place that had never been a Roman province. The Byzantine Empire was run from the imperial capital of Constantinople by Emperors who had followed Constantine and Justinian I on the throne from a province that had been Roman since before the fall of the republic. They were Roman, Roman, Roman. You don't need the city of Rome to be the Roman Empire, the same way England doesn't need old Anglia to still be the Land of the Angles. You don't need to speak Latin to be Roman, just like the Irish don't need to speak Irish to be Irish. The city of Rome was the birthplace, but it wasn't the capital anymore or where the power was. It hadn't been that for looooong before the partition of the empire. The East held the City of the World's Desire and the imperial capital since the days of Emperor Constantine; Constantinople.
