Rome was successful through military success. She won many wars she fought for different reasons and at different time over the course of several centuries. These military victories led to Roman expansion and to Rome becoming the dominant power in the Mediterranean, the Balkan Peninsula, the Alpine region, Gaul and Britain.
The Roman Empire extended to parts of three continents: in Europe it covered part of Western Europe and the Balkan Peninsula (south-eastern Europe) , in Asia it covered part of western Asia (west of Iran and north of Saudi Arabia), and in Africa it covered Egypt and the coastal part of the rest of North Africa.
Athens and Sparta were the two pre-eminent city-states of ancient Greece. Separated by the mountainous terrain of the Balkan peninsula, the city-states were their own autonomous countries, who only occasionally cooperated to fight common foes (such as the Persians). The two are often seen as opposites: Sparta as the military kingdom that championed the warrior, and Athens as the enlightened democracy that valued knowledge, law, and peace. Sparta had the strongest army, Athens had the strongest navy. Greece needed both of these outlooks or it would not have survived.
All of North Africa, all of the Middle East, all of the Balkan, plus today's Turkey, Greece, Italy, the Mediterranean islands, France, Belgium, Spain and England.
The Persian Empire existed in the general area of Iran in ancient times, and spread into the area of the Middle East, and modern Turkey and as far west as Libya in Africa and Greece on the Balkan Peninsula.The first empire of Persia was the Achaemenid Empire of Cyrus the Great, which fought with the Greeks and lasted from around 550 BC to 330 BC, when much of its territory was conquered by Alexander the Great. The subsequent Seleucid Greek Empire was succeeded in Persia by a smaller dominion known as the Parthian Empire, from 247 BC to 224 AD.This kingdom fell under the rule of Ardashir I of the Fars Province in Persia, who created the Sassanid Empire (also known as the Second Persian Empire), which was mostly confined to SW Asia and lasted from 224 to 651 AD, when it was conquered by Islamic Arabs.
