Abstract
Throughout history, ancient rome has been one of the great leaders in the field of Empire building. The stench of blood and fear filled the Mediterranean region as rome conquered city after city and nation after nation. Many cities fell to the Romans in battle, while many more submitted to rome out of fear, and respect. These factors, among many others, helped make rome the ultimate warrior state.
Ironically, rome began as a small city-state with little to distinguish itself. The land was difficult to cultivate, and they were surrounded on all sides by enemies. Romans didn't have a natural harbor that they could use for mercantile trading, nor any other way in which they could make a living for themselves. Surprisingly, rome's poverty was one of the more influential reasons for their survival as a people. Luckily for rome, they had nothing to offer invaders. Unbelievably, this small city-state eventually grew to rule an area two-thirds the size of the continental United States (p57).
