It isextremelydifficult to estimate how much money was made out of the conquered territories which were provinces of the Roman Empire for centuries. Money wasmadethroughwar booty, enslavement, taxation and the economicactivitiesof theprovinces. When the Romans defeated their enemies they looted their main city and enslaved the war captives. It is difficult to estimate how much money was made this way, but it could involve massive amounts. An example of this was the First Roman-Jewish War. The building of the Colosseum was financed with the proceeds from the booty of that war and was built by Jewish slaves. It is estimated that 100,000 Jews were enslaved. The conquered territories which were annexed to the Roman Empire had to pay taxes. It is not known how much money this fetched over the centuries of the empire, but it involved vast sums. Sometimes the value of a conquered territory included its contribution to trade and the economy of the empire. The clearest example of this was Egypt, which exported half of the grain produced in the empire and also exported cotton, linen papyrus, ivory, gemstones, ebony, ostrich feathers, leopard skins, lions, leopards and elephants. Egypt was the most economically important province of the empire.
