Because as the Roman Empire increased, they had more land. And Since they had a more variety of land, they had access to more products that other cultures had and they didn't. So they were able to have more trade with the newer products they had acquired as the empire expanded.

The Mediterranean area was protected and encouraged by the Romans in order to create prosperity. This security of the Mediterranean Sea and elimination of the pirate predators enabled secure shipment of trade goods by the only efficient bulk transportation mode - sea cargo. Land transport for most goods was too costly over more than 100 km.
