WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Rome was now the major hegemonic power in the Mediterranean region. Over the next century, it cemented its status by conquering coastal territory in the modern-day countries of Greece, Turkey, Egypt and others until it completely surrounded the Mediterranean Sea.

Detailed explanation-2: -Rome was able to gain its empire in large part by extending some form of citizenship to many of the people it conquered. Military expansion drove economic development, bringing enslaved people and loot back to Rome, which in turn transformed the city of Rome and Roman culture.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Roman government maintained control over conquered territories using the strength of its military, political system, and economy. The empire was divided into provinces with local governments and military forces that ensured taxes were collected and order was preserved.
