At first, Rome was a pretty small city-state but it soon would grow to a very big place. Rome started out ad a small city-state with a lot of farmers, so when other states/countries tried to attack Rome the farmers would all get together to fight that war because they didn't want to lose their crops. Since Rome was a penninsula it was very east for them to defend. So since they were winning so many battles/wars they would go to those places and invade and usually conquer.Rome conquered the surrounding lands because of the raw materials they had. If a country had wheat, that would be a reason Rome would conquer them. Then they would make a product out of it like beer.And with the extras they would sell to make a profit. The Punic Wars were big in helping Rome expand because carthage had a lot of power and a lot of money so when Rome defeated them they took over carthage and brought bach people as slaves. After Rome won the Punic wars they gained money, power, land, and weapons. They also conquered many new areas such as Spain, Greece, Cisalpine Gaul, Numidia, Sicily, North Africa, Corsical Sardinia, and Illyria. These places were not that far away from they were actually very close. But, there were also many negatives from conquering so much territory by the senate starts taking over and controls the army, finances, foreign affairs, and new territories. But a big helper was that they had silk roads that were good for trade, they trades things like silk, gold, silver, and other objects. They also expanded by using aqeducts which brought tons of water each day. This was what it was like during the expansion of Rome.
