∙ 8y agoLaw, language and excellent roads were ways that Rome unified and connected is vast and diverse empire. Rome's vast empire had a strong military and used it to conquer other places, which led to diverse peoples. Two other major unifying factors that helped Rome were its strong army and its universal law. The army's help is obvious and the law was the same for most of the conquered peoples.
The army was both a unifying and a destabilizing force. Many power struggles were wars fought between various generals and their legions. Many generals were usurpers whose power was based on support from their legions. One big element of the crisis of the third century was a string of military rebellions and usurpations. Constantine I fought wars against rivals to become sole emperor, etc.
Two other important elements that fostered unity were an emperor's ability to maintain a grip on the empire and the efficiency of the imperial administration both centrally and in the provinces. Other factors were tolerance of the cultures, customs and religions of the conquered peoples, prosperity through trade and the power of trade to encourage cultural interexchange.
The Romans maintained the stability and strength of their empire by respecting the peoples they conquered. They tolerated their religions and customs and allowed them to continue to follow them. They also allowed them to continue to use their customary laws at the local level, which they called mos regionis (regional traditions/laws of the land). They relied on the local ruling elites to run local affairs in the provinces. This policy fostered political and social stability. It had two advantages: it facilitated the integration of the locals in the provinces (the conquered peoples) into the ideology and the economy of the empire and it reduced the administrative load (and the associated costs) of the provincial governors and. It limited the job of the governors to defense and the maintenance of the legions stationed in the provinces, tax collection, the commissioning of public works and arbitration of disputes the locals were unable to settle themselves. A less tolerant policy would have led to rebellions and would have threatened the stability of the empire.

How did the empire's access to waterways help it to control the empire?
The Roman Empire first expanded around the Mediterranean and took over all the lands on its shores. This sea remained the heart of the empire. The Romans called it mare nostrum (our sea). Italy was/is between the eastern and western basins of the Mediterranean. This strategic location made it easier for the Romans to gain control over the western part first, and then expand into the eastern part and to control both of these basins.
