When did Europe invade Rome?
Europe could never have invaded Rome. For a start Europe is a continent, not a people. Moreover, Rome was |(and still is) in Europe. Rome was, however, invaded by other peoples of Europe throughout its existence. There were dozens of these invasions, some more successful than others.
Why were some Romans concerned by the changes that accompanied the expansion of Roman international power?
The expansion of Roman power via conquest of other peoples was a double edged sword for some of Rome's leaders. Rome's military conquests brought to Rome more wealth via taxation and tribute from Rome's new territories. It also increased Rome's supply of resources in farming, mining and other aspects of industry that Rome required. Conquest also brought in new slaves to support the Roman economy. In addition, some leaders of the conquered lands saw that allegiance to Rome protected them from other empires that posed a more severe threat then having Rome rule their lands. The down side of Rome's expansion meant that Roman government had a new area to rule and that placed a degree of complications for Rome. It also brought Rome into closer contact with powers like Carthage which posed a threat to Rome. It also meant that Rome's military forces had to be expanded and thus this cost money and training time. Internally, Rome's military now gave Roman generals such as Caesar, more power and influence in the government of Rome.
Durin the early years of roman expansion what city was Rome's only rival?
The Etruscan city of Veii, which was only 10 miles from Rome, on the other side of the river Tiber, was Rome's main rival in the early days of Rome's history. The two cities fought each other 8 times in some 350 years. This ended when Rome destroyed Veii in 396 BC. However, Veii was not Rome's only rival. The nearby Sabines attacked Roman territory several times. In the early 5th century BC the Etruscan cities of Tarquinii and Clusium also attacked Rome and the other Latin cities allied against Rome and fought her. In that century the most dangerous enemies of Rome were the Aequi and the Volsci who had conquered lands to the south of Rome. Rome had to fight defensive wars against their plundering raids on her territories for most of that century.
