allowed the empire to grow. It leads to the Romans taking over all of what we know to Europe

and the Medittorainien and parts of the middle east one of the main reasons Rome’s army were

so good was because they trained there troops and used battle tactics and strategy. The only thing

that hurt Rome was civil war. Rome’s military was too great to fail in battle, but the empire fell

within by the assassination of an emperor or a corrupt government official. Romes army pushed

as far as Egypt.

succeed and where they failed. Rome’s structure and order helped pave the way for humanity.
