Roman conquests
Ancient Mediterranean domination
The military campaigns and territorial acquisitions by which ancient Rome expanded from a city-state to an empire spanning the Mediterranean world and beyond.
The term covers centuries of warfare—from early Italian conquests through the subjugation of Carthage, Greece, Gaul, Egypt, and Britain.
The Roman conquests shaped European civilization for millennia.
