The Roman Empire covered Western Europe up to the river Rhine and central Germany, Britain, the Balkan Peninsula (south-eastern Europe) North Africa and part of the Middle east. At its greatest extent the empire also covered the whole of modern day Iraq (Mesopotamia). The emperor Trajan pushed from the Roman territory in the north of this area to the rest of it and reached the Persian Gulf by defeating the Persians in 116. His successor Hadrian gave it back to Persia because he considered this area untenable. Over the next centuries the Romans and Persians repeatedly fought over this area and Armenia, which back then covered the east of modern day Turkey.
The Roman Empire covered the following modern day countries or parts of modern countries:
Western Europe: Italy, Malta, Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Holland south of the river Rhine, southern Germany and part of central Germany, Switzerland, Lichtenstein, Austria and England and Wales.
Eastern Europe: western Hungary, part of western Slovakia, Slovenia, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Macedonia, Albania, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova and a slither of western Ukraine.
Asia: Turkey, Cyprus, Armenia, northern Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Israel and Palestine, Jordan, and the northern part of the coast of the Red Sea in Saudi Arabia..
Africa: Egypt, the coastal part of Libya, Tunisia, the coastal part of Algeria, and northern Morocco.

Why did the Romans treat Carthage with such brutality after the third Punic War?
Rome feared that Carthage would rise up again and challenge it for supremacy in the Mediterranean World once again.

That decision forced a Third Punic War which had to leave only one superpower standing-and it was Rome who intrigued, instigated, and manipulated events to bring PWIII about.
