Prior to the start of the Fist Punic War (264 BC), the Roman Republic included Latium (land of the Latins), the former territories of the the Etruscan city state of Veii, the Volsci, the Hernici and the Sabines (all next to Latium, to its north, east, west and south) and of the Praetutii (in northern present day Abruzzo). It also included the city of Capua, just north of Naples and the nearby Privernum district. It is unclear whether the territories between this city and Latiumy, which were under Roman control, were annexed to the Republic.

When was the beginning of roman empire?
The beginning of the Roman Empire was in the 4th and 3rd century BC. In the 4th century BC and early 3rd century BC she expanded into central and southern Italy. She did not annex the peoples who leaved in these areas. Instead she turned into allies who had to pay a tribute and supply soldiers who fought in auxiliary troops which supported the Roman legions at their expense. Therefore, she established a form of imperialism by indirect rule. At the end of the First Punic War 264 BC- 241 BC) she annexed Carthage's territories in western Sicily and soon afterwards she seized Sardinia and Corsica from Carthage. In the Second Punic War (218 BC-201 BC) she annexed Carthage's territories in southern Spain. At the end of Third Punic War (179 BC-176 BC) she destroyed Carthage and annexed her last territories in Tunisia and western Libya. In 176 BC she also annexed mainland Greece. Further expansion of the Roman Empire occurred over the next two hundred years. The empire reached its greatest extent in 116 AD.
Who were the roman leaders in chronological order?
If you want the individuals, this is an extremely tall order. The history of ancient Rome spans 1200 years. Rome had three institutional arrangements over time. The first one was the Kingdom, which lasted for 264 years (753-509 BC). It was said that there were seven kings: Romulus, Numa Pompilius, Tullus Hostilius, Ancus Marcius, Tarquinius Priscus, Servius Tullius, and Tarquinius Superbus. This was followed by the Republic, which lasted for 482 years (509-27 BC). It was headed by two annually elected consuls. As you can imagine the list of consuls is endless. After the Republic there were the Principate and the Dominate. Here there was a single ruler, but, again, due to the length of time (503 years), the list is endless.
Which war did Rome become an empire in which it acquired Sicily?
Rome acquired Sicily with her victory in the Second Punic War (264-41 BC) she fought against Carthage.
What were the Panic Wars?
They were called Punic Wars, not Panic Wars. They were three wars fought between Rome and Carthage (264-41 BC, 218-201 BC and 149-146 BC)_. The first one was over the control of Sicily. The Romans won and seized western Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica from Carthage. In the Second War the Carthaginian general Hannibal invaded Italy and routed the armies of the Romans and their allies three times, but the he lost. This war was also fought in the Carthaginian territories in southern Spain which Rome took over by defeating the Carthaginians there as well. The third war was fought because Rome wanted to destroy Carthage.
Did the roman empire start in 27 BC?
No it did not. 27 BC was the year when Augustus concentrated power in his hands and is considered the end of the republican period. From then on Rome was under the personal rule of one man who is usually called emperor by historians. The term empire is often used with reference to this period of rule by one man which followed the rule by two annually elected consuls which characterised the Roman Republic. The Romans themselves did not use the term emperor. The Roman Empire, intended as territorial expansion and the conquest of other peoples started much earlier, during the Republic. Its beginning is a matter of opinion. I think that it started with Rome's expansion into Italy when: 1) Following the Latin war of (340-338 BC), which was fought between Rome and Latin cities and Campanians who were allied to Rome but rebelled, Rome annexed a number of Latin cities and the Campanians (who lived north of Naples). 2) In the interwar period between the 2nd and 3rd Samnite Wars (305-297 BC), Rome subdued the Sabellian peoples of central Italy and turned them into allies. 3) In the Third Samnite War (394-290 BC), Rome defeated a Gallic tribe in central Italy and the Samnites. The territory of the Gallic tribe was annexed and the Samnites of southern Italy were turned into allies. The Lucanians, also a people in the south, became allies. Rome did not annex these peoples, but she turned them into allies. What this means is that these peoples enjoyed autonomy and were nominally independent, but had to supply soldiers at their own expense and fight alongside the Romans in Rome's war. Rome also established colonies (settlements) in these areas to improve her control over these peoples. This was a form of indirect rule, which means that a people is subjected to a superior power, but are allowed self-governance. In this period Rome pursued an aggressive policy of (imperialist) territorial expansionism. Other people see the Punic Wars as the beginning of the territorial empire: 1) After the First Punic War (264-241 BC) Rome took over the Islands od Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica 2) After the Second Punic War (218-202 BC), Rome took over southern Spain 3) After the Third Punic War (149-146 BC), Rome took over Carthage's territory (Tunisia).
