First he inspired people he conquered by slowly incouraging them to at least look upon what he was going to say and building temples in there city of roman gods, but he did this in a kind way, and he wanted to make peace with them. Second with all this land he conquered he had nobody to run it so he invited the people to become citizens.
P.S. The person who said "He didn't" abviously didnt take english class, and didnt care, GOOD LUCK WITH WHAT EVER YOUR DOING!
