In 500 BC, Rome was a minor city-state on the Italian peninsula. By 200 BC, the Roman Republic had conquered Italy, and over the following two centuries it conquered Greece and Spain, the North African coast, much of the Middle East, modern-day France, and even the remote island of Britain. In 27 BC, the republic became an empire, which endured for another 400 years. Finally, the costs of holding such a vast area together become too great. Rome gradually split into Eastern and Western halves, and by 476 AD the Western half of the empire had been destroyed by invasions from Germanic tribes. The Eastern half of the empire, based in Constantinople, continued for many centuries after that.2) The Roman Empire was vast.
At its height around 100 AD, the Roman Empire stretched from Britain in the Northwest to Egypt in the Southeast. To get a sense for how big that is, it’s helpful to compare it to the contemporary United States. The Roman provinces of Britain and Egypt were about as far apart as the American states of Florida and Washington.
One obvious difference is that the Roman Empire had the Mediterranean in the middle of it, which helped move people and supplies over vast distances. Still, it’s remarkable that emperors operating many centuries before the railroad and the telegraph — to say nothing of airplanes and the internet — were able to hold together such a vast domain for so long.3) Traveling around the empire was excruciatingly slow.
This map provides some perspective on just how big Roman territory was relative to the transportation technologies of the day. Created by, it estimates how long it took for someone leaving Rome to reach various locations around the empire.

The Mediterranean was a big help in getting around — most coastal locations in the western Mediterranean could be reached in under a week, and even far-flung coastal cities like Alexandria and Jerusalem could be reached in two weeks. But traveling to the interior was more difficult. Reaching the most distant points in the empire, such as Britain, could take close to a month. And of course, going from one end of the empire to the other could take even longer.
The researchers estimate that it took seven weeks to travel from Constantinople (at the eastern end of the empire) to London (in the far west).4) The provinces of Rome in 117. The Roman Empire reached its greatest size under the reign of Trajan in 117 AD.
To aid in administration, it was divided into provinces. The number of provinces changed over time as territories were gained or lost, and as larger provinces were divided into smaller ones.
There were 46 provinces under Trajan, a figure that would grow to 96 by the reign of Diocletian (285–305). In Trajan’s time, provinces in the interior of the country were run by governors chosen by the Senate, a legislative body run by leading aristocrats. In contrast, border provinces were run by governors named directly by the emperor. This was a security measure. Border provinces needed armies to defend against invasion, and emperors worried that if these troops were put under the control of someone not personally loyal to the emperor, that person could try to seize power and proclaim himself emperor. This wasn’t an idle concern — coups and civil wars were a recurrent problem for the empire.The rise of Rome 5) Italy before Roman conquest. In its early years, the Romans shared Italy with several other peoples.
The dominant power in the neighborhood of Rome was the Etruscans. We don’t know very much about these people, in part because we haven’t figured out how to read their distinctive language. But the evidence suggests that Rome was ruled by Etruscan kings until the Romans revolted and established a republic — an event that is traditionally dated to 509 BC. East of Rome were other tribes speaking languages related to the Romans’ native Latin.
And by 400 BC, the prosperous and technologically sophisticated Greeks had established colonies at Italy’s southern tip.6) Rome conquers Italy. Rome went from being one of many city-states in 340 BC to being master of the entire peninsula by 264. The conquest occurred in three phases.
In 340, Rome came into conflict with its former allies, the neighboring, and subdued them by 338. Beginning in 326, Rome to the East, a conflict that would continue sporadically until Roman victory in 282.
Rome also fought sporadic battles with Etruscans and Gauls to its North during this period. Rome then turned its attention to the Greeks in the south of Italy, fighting a war with the Greek king. Pyrrhus won two major battles against the Romans in and, respectively. But he took such heavy casualties in those battles that he would eventually lose the war — giving rise to the term “Pyrrhic victory.”7) The first war with CarthageFirm control over Italy made Rome one of the Mediterranean’s major powers.
The Romans began to come into conflict with another rising power located just across the water: Carthage. Located in North Africa near modern-day Tunis, Carthage was the capital of a seafaring empire, shown here in red, that dominated commerce in the Western Mediterranean. Rome fought three conflicts with Carthage, known as the Punic Wars, between 264 and 146 BC.
The first conflict occurred after Carthage intervened in a dispute on the island of Sicily, just off the southern tip of Italy. While Sicily wasn’t Roman territory at the time, the Romans felt this was a little too close to home. They sent an army to expel the Carthaginian troops. The result was the First Punic War, which lasted for more than 20 years. This map shows the situation after the war: Rome gained control of the islands of Sicily, Corsica, and Sardinia, making it a significant naval power for the first time.

A Carthaginian born during the First Punic War, he bore a lifelong grudge against Rome.
In 218 BC, he led an army — including, famously, a few dozen elephants — from Carthaginian-controlled Spain across the Alps to northern Italy, starting the second war between Rome and Carthage. Hannibal believed Italians were chafing under the Roman yoke; he hoped his arrival would trigger a broad rebellion that would break Rome’s control of Italy.
Hannibal enjoyed an unbroken string of victories on the battlefield, including the in 216. And after Cannae, a few Italian cities did revolt. But Hannibal didn’t attract enough Italian allies to bring about Rome’s defeat. The Romans were able to raise a new army to replace the one Hannibal had destroyed, and Hannibal’s army wasn’t powerful enough to capture Rome. So Hannibal spent 15 years skirmishing inconclusively with the Romans. Finally, Hannibal was called home to deal with a Roman counterattack on Carthage.
He lost at the in 202. Rome imposed harsh terms, seizing Carthage’s overseas possessions and dismantling Carthage’s navy.
Then in 149 the paranoid Romans provoked a Third Punic War against the helpless Carthaginians that led to the total destruction of their civilization.Rome’s military 9) Rome’s powerful maniple formation. In the early years of the republic, the Roman infantry used a version of the Greek. In this formation, soldiers stand shoulder to shoulder in a tightly packed formation that can be more than a dozen soldiers deep. Soldiers in the front were protected by a wall of large shields, and they tried to reach around their shields with long spears to stab the enemy. While this formation worked well on level ground, the Romans found it was too brittle for the hilly terrain where they did much of their fighting. It became extremely vulnerable if a gap opened up in the ranks. To address this weakness, the Romans developed the maniple formation illustrated here, sometimes described as a “phalanx with joints.” Instead of a single line of men, the Romans divided their infantry into groups of about 120 men, each of which could maneuver independently, and arranged them in a checkerboard pattern.
Maniples behind the front line can step into any gaps that open up in the front line. The Romans put their least experienced soldiers in the front line (the bottom in this picture), in hopes that the enemy would waste energy fighting them, making them too exhausted to put up a fight when they reached more experienced (and better-armed) soldiers further back.10) The changing culture of the Roman armyBetween 200 BC and 14 AD, Rome conquered most of Western Europe, Greece and the Balkans, the Middle East, and North Africa. One result was profound changes to Rome’s military. Previously, military service had been limited to Romans with property holdings, who would serve for a few seasons and then return to their farms. But in 107 BC, to cope with growing demands for military manpower, the Roman commander Marius opened the army to landless peasants and extended the length of military service. Over the next century, the Roman army was transformed into a full-time, professional fighting force.
Marius also reorganized the Romans’ fighting formations, moving away from staggered maniples in favor of 10 larger formations called cohorts. Fighting effectively in this formation required greater skill, but the professionalized Roman legions had time to learn the necessary maneuvers.11) How Augustus tamed the Roman legionsAfter the Marian reforms, Roman generals had to promise rewards — either booty captured abroad or land awarded to them on their return — to attract soldiers to their banners. Because commanders were responsible for making sure these promises were kept, the troops increasingly felt personal loyalty to these generals rather than abstract loyalty to the Roman state. As a result, in the late Republican period (107 BC to 27 BC), it became increasingly common for victorious commanders to march their armies back into Rome and seize power to ensure their troops received the land they had been promised.
This led to recurrent civil wars, eventually transforming Rome from a moderately democratic republic into an autocratic empire. This map depicts the deployment of Rome’s legions when Rome’s first emperor, Augustus, died in 14 AD. Augustus and his successors distributed the Roman army along the frontier, ensuring that no single general had command of more than a small fraction of Rome’s troops at any one time. And emperors reduced the soldiers’ dependence on their commanders by paying them salaries from the imperial treasury. (Click the image to see the full map.)12) A Roman warship. Rome wasn’t initially a major naval power, but when the Romans came into conflict with the Carthaginians, they realized they needed to play catch-up. They immediately built 20 triremes — so named because it had 3 banks of oars — and 100 quinqueremes — heavier ships with five rowers for each bank of oars.
Beginning with the triumph over the Carthaginians in 201, Rome began to demand that defeated foes give up their naval forces, giving Rome undisputed mastery over the Mediterranean. For the first two centuries of the imperial era (beginning in 27 BC), Rome controlled the Mediterranean so completely that it wiped out piracy and didn’t have to fight any major naval battles.The republic becomes an empire 13) Julius Caesar conquers Gaul.
