∙ 10y agoItaly lies in the centre of the Mediterranean, between the western basin and eastern basin of this sea. This made it easier to expand into and control both basins. However, control of trade in the Mediterranean was a only a relative need. The conquered lands around the Mediterranean became integrated into and important partners of the thriving trading networks which the Roman Empire developed. The size of Rome was also a very important factor. Rome reached a population which has been estimated at 1 to 1.4 million which, for those days, was mind-boggling. With its size Rome became a huge importer of goods from everywhere in the empire, which made her the natural hub of trade. All the peoples around the Mediterranean benefited from exporting goods to Rome. Control of the Mediterranean became just a matter of controlling piracy.
