The Roman were tolerant of the culture of the conquered peoples. The allowed them to follow their religions and customs and to use their laws at the local level. Many of these peoples benefited from becoming part of the great trading network of the empire. The emperors promoted an imperial ideology to promote integration and a sense of commonality in the empire. In some areas the Romans protected the frontiers of some peoples and ensured law and order. The presence of armies and the establishment of Roman settlements around the empire led to the Latinisation of many of these peoples. Over time people became used to being in the empire. In some cases the Romans had to pacify the conquered area. This means taking counterinsurgency action until resistance ended. The Romans were very ruthless in suppressing rebellions.
The Romans were most gifted in the following areas
A:Charlemagne was a pitiless tyrant who conquered large areas of northern Europe and forced the populations to convert to Christianity or die. Kathleen Jefferts Schori, presiding bishop of the U.S. Episcopal Church, said, "Charlemagne converted whole tribes by the sword." In the year 782, the Frankish king Charlemagne reputedly beheaded forty-five hundred Saxons who resisted his campaign of forced conversion to Christianity. In 800, the Pope crowned Charlemagne in Rome, as Holy Roman Emperor.
One religion that Roman leaders considered a problem was Druidism. this was because the leaders of the Druid cults proposed war against the Romans and caused civil unrest throughout the Celtic areas. The rites of Bacchus and Christianity were also problematical for the Romans.
That is a pretty vague question. Generally the Romans took the spoils of war, i.e. wealth, which comes in the form of gold, art, and slaves. They also generally conquered the land and made it a Roman province. Examples of the spoils of war taken can be found throughout Rome's archaeological history. For example the arch of Titus in the Roman Forum depicts the spoils of war taken after Vespasian and Titus sacked the city of Jerusalem. Another example would be Trajan's Column which depicts Trajan's campaign against the Dacians.
