Briefly describe the size and organization of the roman empire at its peak?

The Roman Empire reached its greatest extent with the conquests by the Emperor Trajan in 106 and 116 BC. It covered western Europe up to the river Rhine, Brtian, southeastern Europe up to Romania and part of Moldova, Cyprus, part of Western Asia (Turkey Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Judea/Palestine and Jordan) and North Africa.
