The same factors contributed to a high level of trade in the Roman empire as they do today. Simply put, supply and demand. The provinces and foreign countries could supply Rome with goods and services that Rome wanted. Rome could supply the provinces with the security that they needed.

A legions is a unit of the Roman army made up of about 6,000 soldiers.
St. George was not a slave. He was a soldier in the Roman army.
You did not have to look any particular way to be recruited in the Roman army. From 753 BC to 107 BC the Roman army was a citizen militia which levied peasant-proprietors. From 107 BC joining he army was made voluntary and was made accessible to the landless poor. The only requirement was being a Roman citizen of military age (17 to 46) and presumably, to be fit and healthy. Rome needed as many soldiers as she could get.
Blacksmiths made the swords javelins armour and helmets. Siege towers and other siege equipment were made by the soldiers. The ballistas (crossbow-like catapults) were made by specialised craftsmen enlisted in the army.
They were highly disciplined, with intelligent and effective commanders, were issued good quality equipment, and were well trained in the use of their equipment and effective combat formations and manoeuvres. The Romans also made a point of learning as much as they could about their enemies prior to engaging them in combat so they could take advantages of the enemies weaknesses and take contingencies against their strengths.Of course this was not always the case, most of the major defeats of the Roman army can be traced to failures of one or more of these factors.

The Roman army was so successful due to their discipline and training. The discipline was to follow orders (obviously) and their training was not only in the use of their weapons, but also a psychological one. Their officers told them that they were superior to their enemies, that they were Romans and therefore could not lose. The omens or signs that were taken before each encounter were always good and even if they lost a battle, they would come back and win the war because the gods were with them.
Carthage was important to Roman history because the successful wars against Carthage made Rome a superpower.
