Introduction
History has been scattered with great empires that rise and fall. Modern examples such as the USSR or Hitler’s shortly realized Nazi European Empire, and ancient examples such as Alexander the Greats Greek Empire, all shared the same trait of covering vast amounts of territory whilst encompassing different minorities, majorities, religions and races. The Roman Empire is one such empire that stretched from England to Egypt and covered the entire circumference of the Mediterranean Sea . It too, shared the trait of covering vast amounts of land and different peoples. However similar these empires might be geographically, with The Roman Empire being the oldest, the beliefs and ways of incorporating those peoples whom were indigenous …show more content…
As Segestes explains, in a general sense, there is more than enough weight in benefits to join The Roman Empire instead of fight it, perhaps for obvious reasons. Again, what this shows is how even indigenous leadership understood the benefits of how Roman occupation could enhance their own people’s lives.

In most cases, this relationship was bolstered by a number of perks economically, judicially, and militarily. Living under the most successful empire up until this point in history had its perks. Economically, Campbell explains the impact on local populations of indigenous. Campbell writes that “the presence of so many grain consumers should have had an impact on the rather static agricultural set-up of local communities, and may have encourages the production of more grain” . Campbell continues by elaborating that “there was certainly considerable potential for profit since by no means all the grain for army use was in the form of taxes or rents in kind” . As Campbell shows, Romans penetrating local economies had a major impact on the stimulation of them. This could potentially yield better lives for the locals through monetary means, whether that was more food, clothing, livestock, and or other things that could potentially improve their everyday lives. Moreover, Roman law gave a solid foundation on which each civilian was held to the same base principles and laws. Theodor Mommsen, in his book The History of Rome writes an explicitly informative history on Rome. Within his book, Mommsen goes over Roman law and its importance in roman society. Mommsen writes that “all jurisdiction was vested in the community” . What this means is that power within law was placed on the people within each local
