The Romans were tolerant of the religions of conquered peoples. They generally found similarities between the beliefs of the conquered and their own beliefs and incorporated the foreign gods into their own pantheon. The only gods that they abhorred were the Egyptian gods depicted with animal heads.

How the Romans were not afraid from their neighbors and their and the people they conquered?

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.
