Why were the Romans eventually able to conquer ancient Greece?

Answer 1

The Romans were very good at implementing technologies from neighboring cultures. They were mostly farmers in the beginning, making them a healthy and strong stock. Their aggresive culture, coupled with their strength and technological superiority made them a powerful force. They worked hard to conquer Italy, but when it was time for them to expand, there were no other powers in the world with the resources or military might nearby to defeat them. Once they defeated Carthage, there was no nation nearby or anywhere else in sight that could beat them for a long time. They used their superiority to beat nation after nation in a domino effect. That's why, in my opinion. Some believe it is because of their brutality (they wiped out and enslaved entire peoples without opposition), some believe that the Romans were just more intelligent (not true; their cultural intelligence came from Greece, who didn't amount to much internationally). I hope I helped.

Answer 2

Rome at first never intended to conquer half of the known world. At first Rome was an average town of the peninsula. It started by conquering nearby towns and villages whom they were fighting with because of wanting to control merchant roads, fertile land etc. They were disciplinary as an army with strict rules and a hard way of military life. The army did not afford itself to get lazy. In 3rd century BC Italy was conquered. No Italic nation stood a chance against ruthless and hardcore armies of Rome. Then came the Punic wars of Carthage. By the end of that war in 146 BC Rome did what she intended - Rome became the master of the Mediterranean. They won the city of Carthage near modern Tunis, defeated the guerilca but weak barbarian armies of Hispania, subdued uninvited Illyrian tribes as well as the unprepared Greeks uninvited from the times of Alexander the great. Then came the cities of Asiana and so on. The reason Rome managed to conquer such territories was that where ever Rome arrived they found uninvited resistance. Barbaric tribes in the west and small, often client, kingdoms of the east stood no chance against such a military united force. By the time that was understood (in Gaul and Parthia for instance) it was too late. Rome became to rich and powerful for anyone who competed against her.
