What territory did rome add between 246 bc and 146 bc?

Sicily, Sardinia and Spain (First Punic War, 264-241 BC) Southern Spain (Second Punic War, 218-201 BC) Tunisia and western Libyia (Third Punic War, 149-146 BC) Mainland Greece (Fourth Macedonian War and Achaean War, 150-148 BC and 146 BC). Algeria (Jugurthine War, 111-104 BC) The Romans also gained control of Illyria (on the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea, opposite Italy) without annexing it. They defeated the last king of Illyria in 168 BC and imprisoned him in Rome in 165 BC. Illyria was broken up into four client-republics, establishing a system of Roman indirect rule.


What events made it possible for the ostrogoths to conquer rome?

The Ostrogoths did not conquer Rome. They left Rome alone and let her self-govern. Zeno, the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire sent Theodoric the Great, the king of the Ostrogoths, to invade Italy on his behalf in order to depose Odoacer, a usurper who had led a rebellion of Germanic soldiers enlisted in the Roman army in Italy and deposed the last emperor of the Western Roman Empire. The Ostrogoths had settled in the Eastern Roman Empire and had become a powerful political and military force there. When he invaded Italy, Theodoric established the kingdom of the Ostrogoths, which covered Italy and Illyria (the east coast of the Adriatic Sea). Theodoric's intention was not to take over what was left of the Western Roman Empire. He established himself in Ravenna, the capital of the Western Roman Empire. He just wanted land for his people to settle and left the Latin cities alone allowed them to self-govern. He also wanted to re-establish the splendour of the Roman Empire and carried out infrastructure work in Italy.


What was the purpose of the first triumvirate?

The First Triumvirate was an informal three-man (from tria, Latin prefix for three, and vir, man) political alliance between Julius Caesar, Marcus Licinius Crassus, and Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus (Pompey the Great). Its purpose was to dominate Roman politics. Crassus was the richest man in Rome and Pompey was the most prestigious military leader at the time. The young Caesar was very popular with the masses and a formidable prosecuting lawyer. Caesar and Crassus were friends and the former help the latter with his debts. There was enmity between Crassus and Pompey. Caesar worked to reconcile the two men and married his daughter Julia to Pompey. He used the clout of the two men to have himself elected consul (head of the Roman Republic) in 59 BC. The alliance was kept secret until the senate obstructed Caesar's bill for a land redistribution for the poor. Crassus and Pompey supported Caesar's bill, thus revealing the alliance. The bill was carried through. The three men also had one of their supporters elected as plebeian tribune, thus weakening the opposition. The senate wanted to give Caesar a minor post after his consulship. Caesar managed to have himself appointed as governor of Gallia Narbonensis (southern France) Gallia Cisalpina (northern Italy) and Illyria (the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea) for five years and have his new father-in-law elected as consul for 58 BC. The three men met in 56 BC and agreed on Crassus and Pompey standing for the consulship of 55 BC and on extending Caesar's consulship for another five years. The alliance ended in 53 BC when Crassus died.


Who moved into the lands of roman empire?

Three Germanic peoples were allowed to settle in parts of the Roman Empire by the Romans. Other Germanic peoples and the Alans (who were Iranian speakers) invaded the Western part of the Roman Empire.The Visigoths (Goths of the west) asked the Romans to be allowed to settle in the lower Danube River area of the Roman Empire to escape the Huns who were invading their homeland (Ukraine. The emperor Valens granted this in 376. The Ostrogoths (Goths of the east) came under the rule of the Huns and moved to the new Heartland the Huns established for themselves, the Hungarian plains east of the Danube. A Group of Ostrogoths, Alans and Huns crossed the river Danube and to settle in the Roman Province of Pannonia, on the other back of the mid-Danube (Roughly present day western Hungary). The emperor Gratian allied them to settle there as allies in 380. They proved to be loyal allies and defended the area from incursions. The Ostrogoths who had remained under the Hunnic rule, together with the Gepids, defeated the sons of Attila the Hun in in the Battle of Nedao (454) after Attila's death in 443and destroyed their empire. They entered into relation with the Roman and were allowed to settle in Pannonia to join the other Ostrogoths there.In 292 the emperor Constantius defeated the Franks who had settled at the mouth of the river Rhine. Since the Franks were continuously raiding this frontier area of the Roman Empire, he allowed them to settle in the empire as allies and were moved then to the nearby region of Toxandria (Holland south of the rive Rhine and the present day provinces of Antwerp and Limburg in northern Belgium).In 406 the Vandals, Sueves and Alanscrossed the frozen river Rhine (which was part of the frontiers of the Roman Empire) and invaded and ravaged Gaul. They then moved on to Hispania. The Vandals and Alans moved on again and took over north-western Africa, establishing the Vandalic Kingdom. The Sueves created their own kingdom (the Kingdom of the Suevi) in north-western Spain. The Alemanni of central Germany took over Alsace (in present day north-western and the area of present day Switzerland north of the Alps. They had already taken over the Roman territories in Southern Germany, which were evaluated by the Romans in 270. The emperor Aurelian probably regained some territories in the area, by it was abandoned for good in after the deth of the emperor Probus in 282.In 411 the Burgundians established a puppet emperor, Jovinus, who became a usurper emperor in northern Gaul. They established themselves in an area west of the river Rhine. Jovinus was defeated by a joint Roman and Visigoth force. As part of a truce, the Burgundians were granted the land they occupied as allies. Despite being allies, the Burgundians repeatedly raided Roman territories. They were routed by the Romans and forced to move. They were resettled in an area which corresponded to the present day region of Savoy, in eastern France, where they established the Burgundian Kingdom.The Angles, Saxons and Jutes from northern Germany and the Frisians from the north of the Netherlands migrated to England in waves and took it over.In 411 the Visigoths moved from Illyria, on the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea, next to Italy, to south-western where they established the Kingdom of the Visigoths. They expanded into Hispania and by 500 they controlled the whole of this area apart from the Kingdom of the Suevi. In 507 they were pushed out of south-western France by the Franks who were expanding into Gaul and had conquered the Domain of Soissons, a Roman rump state in central Gaul, in 486. In 532 the Franks also conquered the Kingdom of the Burgundians


How did the roman empire govern its territories?

The conquered lands of the Roman empire were divided into provinces. These provinces were ruled by governors who would be answerable to Rome. There were two types of provinces. One type was an imperial province, where the emperor would appoint the governor and the other was the senatorial province where the Senate would appoint the governor.
