The empire first expanded around the Mediterranean Sea. Italy is located in the centre of this sea, between its eastern and western basins. This gave it an important strategic position. It made it easier to control both basins and the narrow strip of water between Sicily and Tunisia makes the control of the routes between the east and the west easier.
Julius Caesar did not establish the ancient Roman empire. He did help expand the territory that ancient Rome had conquered. Many historians have said that the beginnings of Rome as an empire came with the final defeat of Carthage. This gave Rome control over a vast area in the western Mediterranean Sea.

How did changing ideas about what made up the Roman community help the Roman Empire survive
The Roman empire began in Rome, Italy. Because of it's location, it provided the Romans with access to natural trade routes and natural protective barriers. Once the Roman empire began to expand, the Italian Alps to the north provided protection from any Northern invading countries. Surrounding the pennisula was the Mediterranean Sea, which opened up trade routes to not only Greece, but the Middle East, Northern Africa, and Europe. The expansion of the Roman Empire and the Punic Wars were affected by the Geography of the region.

Although, the Romans did little original research, they did put science into practical use. They applied geography to make maps and medical knowledge to help doctors improve public health.
