Roman conquest
Latin military expansion
Roman conquest refers to the military expansion of ancient Rome, which over centuries transformed a city-state into an empire spanning three continents.
The term describes both the process and specific instances: the Roman conquest of Britain, the Roman conquest of Gaul.
Conquered territories were absorbed into Roman administration, law, and culture—effects that persisted long after Rome's fall.
