Empire

The Roman Empire was extremely powerful and often raged war on surrounding territories for land, loot and captives. Foreign wars and mass enslavements provided great amounts of land, as soldier-farmers were being displaced from farms and with plights in Rome escalating, the practice of expanding their colonies grew (Du Bois, P., 2009).

The Empire was formed during the time of the Roman Republic and dominated not just their own city but a vast territory beyond it (Cavazzi, F., 2012).Throughout the Punic War 264 BC to 146 BC, many slaves were captured from overseas; Rome’s population grew to over 1 million (Du Bois, P., 2009).

Hopkins, a modern historian, made the observation that, “the military conquest and the subsequent introduction of incredible wealth and slaves into Italy had the same effects as widespread and rapid as technological innovations” (Du Bois, P., 2009).

This meant that the effect of the Romans was absolutely huge. To be put into perspective, the number of slaves to owners was about the same ration to the number of people who have iPhone’s and who don’t, respectively.
