The origin of the Roman Empire was a series of unrelated wars which they won over a period of several centuries. This led to territorial acquisitions. Much of this expansion occurred during the period of the Roman Republic, when Rome was headed by two annually elected consuls. The Republic was replaced by rule by emperors and there was further expansion under some of the emperors. The empire was divided into provinces administered by provincial governors.During the republic the governors were drawn by lot from among the senators. During rule by emperors, the senators still provided the governors of some of the provinces (the oldest ones). The majority of the provinces had governors appointed by the emperor. The Romans tolerated the religions of the conquered peoples and allowed them to follow their customs and use their customary laws at the local level. They also let the local elites run local affairs. This decreased the administrative load of the governors which was limited to heading the Roman legions stationed in the provinces, levying taxes, commissioning public works and act as adjudicators in disputes the locals could not resolve themselves.
