The Romans built hundreds of aqueducts around the vast Roman Empire. The city of Rome alone was supplied by 11 aqueducts. The biggest network of aqueducts was that which supplied Constantinople, in Greece. It totalled about 250 Km (156 miles). The longest aqueduct which supplied the city of Rome (the Aqua Marcia) was 91.424 km (59 miles) long.
No, the Roman Empire suffered a long decline from the third century onward. But the city's sack by a Visigoth army on 24 August 410 signalled its weakness in the West, even though Rome was no longer capital. The Western Empire ended on 4 September 476 with the last Emperor's abdication. The Eastern Empire survived as a nominally Roman but effectively Greek successor state until Constantinople's capture by the Ottoman Turks on 29 May 1453. The city of Rome survived and remains a leading world capital.
Because they wanted money/tax's salves and more people for their army
No. The Roman Army had ceased to exist long before the Battle of Hastings.
The Roman capital was not moved to Constantinople. What Constantine the Great did was to move the imperial capital of the eastern part of the empire from Nicomedia (in northeastern Turkey) to the nearby Byzantium, redeveloped it and renamed it Constantinople. Milan remained the imperial capital of the western part the Roman Empire. An imperial capital in the west and one in the east had been established by emperor Diocletian not long before Constantine's rule. The new imperial capitals were created to bring imperial administration closer to the troubled frontiers of the empire than Rome. Rome became the nominal capital of the empire.
The advantages were strategic. Constantinople was more easily defended than the city of Rome (which was subject to malaria outbreaks among other things). Constantine moved the captial to the Greek city of Byzantium and renamed it "Nova Roma" (New Rome.) The name was changed to Constantinople ("city of Constantine") after the emperor's death. Constantinople remained the capital of the Roman and Byzantime empires for over a thousand years, until it was captured by the Turks in the 1400s. Long after Rome fell to barbarian invaders, Constantinople thrived as the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire (by then the Roman Empire had split into Eastern and Western realms, with separate emperors for each, though they remained closely allied with one another.
As no Roman army exists you could say they are having a very long break presently
Rome retained its empire for so long due to its ability to administer the empire. All provinces were ruled by Roman law. the coinage was the same, and the benefits of civilization such as baths, aqueducts, theaters and amphitheaters were brought to the provinces. In a way Rome formed a loose partnership with her provinces. The provincials paid taxes and supplied troops, while Rome gave them the protection of the Roman army and the benefits of trade.Rome retained its empire for so long due to its ability to administer the empire.

The Romans ruled Israel long before and after Jesus was in Israel. The Israelites still had their own internal rule with their own king but the Romans owned and ruled the country. If you were a Roman in Israel at the time you had to appeal to the Roman rulers or to Rome if you were arrested for any crime. Apostle Paul, while though he was an Israelite, he was still a Roman, he was able to appeal to Rome when he was arrested by the Jews/Roman Army one time. If you need to know more just ask.
Things could be pretty good for the people of the lands conquered by Rome, as long as they stayed conquered and did not try to revolt. Although the vanquished had to pay taxes and were responsible for recruits for the army, they generally didn't mind because they had the benefits of Roman civilization and Roman protection. Usually their economies flourished due to trade with Rome and other provinces.
Ancient Rome transitioned through several different phases during its existence. It began as the Roman Kingdom in 753 B. C. E. but became the Roman Republic in 509 B. C. E. It became the Roman Empire in 27 B. C. E. The Western Roman Empire ended in 476 C. E. Rome's successor state, the Byzantine Empire, the Eastern Half of the Roman Empire, lasted until 1453, with a 57 year interruption following the sack of Constantinople during the 4th Crusade. In total, Rome and Byzantium ruled all or part of the Mediterranean Sea for 2149 years.
