The Romans gained revenue either in coin or kind from the conquered peoples. The treatment the provincials received, however, depended upon the provincials themselves. Rebellious, warlike tribes, such as inhabited the area of Pannonia were treated roughly, while the people of Greece, Syria and Egypt were treated leniently and for the most part allowed to continue with their pre-Roman lifestyle and methods of gathering revenue.

Besides gaining the benefits of revenue from taxation of conquered peoples, additional gains also were important. These benefits included the following which is a minor edit to the spirit of the answer.

1. Access to the conquered peoples mining resources such as iron ore or minerals.

2. Depending upon the nature of the conquered people, Rome gained a new pool of recruits for their legions.

3. Access to agricultural products.

4. Rome might also gain slaves which could be sold for a profit or used to work the mines and the agricultural resources.

5. Roman wars and conquests of other nations had all the purposes and benefits listed above, however, on a geo-political level, the conquest was a benefit by eliminating any threat from the nation conquered and placing bordering nations one step further away from the center of the empire which was Rome.
