What are the positive and negative results of the conquest of Rome?
Wiki User
∙ 9y ago
The positives were that the Romans were tolerant towards the religions and custom of the conquered people and also allowed them to use their customary laws at the local level. They also built roads, bridges, aqueducts and public buildings around the empire. The empire developed an extensive trading network, and many areas of the empire benefited from this. Egypt, Tunisia and Sicily exported great quantities of grain to the city of Rome. The Romans also developed a multicultural outlook.
The negatives were that the Romans were interested in power and some of the decisions which were designed to bolster power were not beneficial to the conquered peoples. They also dealt with rebellions ruthlessly and sometimes even destroyed towns. The persecution of the Christians were also a negative, but then this was replaced by toleration, and Christianity became the religion of the empire. Many rich Romans were only interested in their wealth and privilege and were insensitive towards the plight of the poor and opposed reforms aimed at helping them. They also thought that the poor were idle and subhuman. Slavery was a negative. However, slaves were war captives, and when Rome ended her conquests, not many people were enslaved. Moreover, they were in the habit of freeing them. At one point, the majority of the citizens of the city of Rome were freedmen or their descendants.

∙ 9y agoRome was not conquered. What was invaded by the Germanic peoples and fell was the western part of the Roman Empire. The city of Rome was not conquered. It was sacked three times (by the Visigoths in 410, the Vandals in 455 and the Ostrogoths in 546) but it was never conquered.
The eastern part of the Roman Empire was not affected by these invasions and continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years. Historians have coined the term Byzantine Empire to indicate the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part. The Romans did not use this term, they called it Roman Empire or Romania (this referred to this empire and not the country which was later called Romania).
