Carthage was destroyed in 146 BCE, leaving Rome the dominant power in the Western Mediterranean.
Between 264 and 133 B.C., the Roman Republic expanded significantly, adding two key cultural regions: Sicily and the provinces of Carthage (North Africa). Sicily became Rome's first province following the First Punic War in 241 B.C., serving as a crucial grain supply. Following the defeat of Carthage in the Second Punic War, the region of Carthage was also annexed, further enhancing Rome's economic and strategic power in the Mediterranean.

Rome first started as a city, and then they conquered all of what is now Italy. In 133 BC, the empire consisted of Gaul, the Iberian Peninsula, and Greece. In AD 117, the empire consisted of Northern Africa, Egypt, central Europe, Britain, and all of modern day Turkey, the greatest extent of the empire. Basically, the Roman Empire conquered lands all around the Mediterranean Sea.
Rome achieved its empire from 264 to 133 B.C.E. through a series of military conquests, political alliances, and strategic expansions, particularly during the Punic Wars against Carthage, which solidified its dominance in the Mediterranean. The annexation of territories in Spain, Greece, and North Africa expanded Rome's influence and wealth. The term "Rome imperialism" refers to the practice of extending Roman authority and control over foreign lands and peoples, often through military might, colonization, and the establishment of governance that integrated local populations into the Roman system. This imperialism significantly shaped the cultural and political landscape of the ancient world.

Neither ever ruled Rome. They were both elected tribunes (representors of the people) though. Tiberius Gracchus was elected in 133 BCE and Gaius Gracchus in 123 BCE.
The Roman province of Asia was in western Turkey. It formerly had been the Greek kingdom of Pergamon. Attalus III, the last king of Pergamon, who was an ally of Rome, died without male issue and bequeathed his kingdom to Rome in his will in 133 BC.
10% off of 133 = 10% discount applied to 133 = 133 - (10% * 133) = 133 - (0.10 * 133) = 133 - 13.3 = 119.70
133 + 133 = 266
