It was opportunity rather than necessity. Trade is stimulated by opportunities to produce and sell good.

Why was Trade Transport and Travel important to Ancient Rome?

Trade routes and trade transport was vital for importing products the Romans needed such as grains from Egypt and Sicily. And exporting Roman products such as weapons, pottery, and precious metals to their provinces as needed. Traveling whether by land or ship needed to be safe from pirates and bandits. Revenue from Rome's provinces need a safe way to get to Rome and other important places within the empire. Commercial trade helped enrich the ancient Rome and the more it safely flourished, the better life was for the ancient Romans at all social levels.
