Scenarios about 'roman expansion'
The territorial growth of the Roman state from a small settlement on the Tiber River to a vast empire spanning three continents over nearly a millennium. Roman expansion involved military conquest, strategic alliances, colonization, and cultural assimilation, transforming Mediterranean civilizations through the spread of Roman law, infrastructure, language, and governance systems.
