The Romans maintained the stability and strength of their empire by respecting the peoples they conquered. They tolerated their religions and customs and allowed them to continue to worship them. They also allowed them to continue to use their customary laws at the local level, which they called mos regionis (regional traditions/laws of the land). They relied on the local ruling elites to run local affairs in the provinces. This policy fostered political and social stability. It had two advantages: it facilitated the integration of the locals in the provinces (the conquered peoples) into the ideology and the economy of the empire and it reduced the administrative load (and the associated costs) of the provincial governors and. It limited the job of the governors to defence and the maintenance of the legions stationed in the provinces, tax collection, the commissioning of public works and arbitration of disputes the locals were unable to settle themselves. A less tolerant policy would have led to rebellions and would have threatened the stability of the empire. The conquered peoples also benefited form their participation in the thriving trading networks of the empire.
The Romans retained control over the empire through tolerating the religions and customs of the conquered peoples. They allowed them to continue to worship their religions, follow their customs and use their customary laws at the local level. They also let the local ruling classes run most of the local affairs. The role of the provincial governors of the provinces (conquered territories) was restricted to defence and maintenance of the legions stationed in the provinces, tax collection, public works and the arbitration of disputes the locals could not resolve by themselves. This policy had two advantages: it reduced the administrative load of the provincial governors and it facilitated the integration of the locals into the ideology and the economy of the empire. A less tolerant policy would have led to too many rebellions and would have threatened the stability of the empire. The conquered peoples also benefited from the thriving trading networks which developed throughout the empire and selling their local goods to other part of the empire, especially Rome.

Its track record speaks for its success. Until the time of the Romans, there had never been an empire its size. There had never been an empire that absorbed the cultures of those it conquered, there had never been an army as strong as Rome's and there had never been an empire that lasted as long as Rome's.
The Byzantine empire was the continuation of the Roman Empire.
From Google: "the action of thinking about something in a logical, sensible way."

In the development of the Roman empire the Romans treated citizenship as a privilege. Automatic citizenship (after serving) was one of the reasons that Rome was able to recruit so many auxiliaries.
Civil war considered one of the major reasons why the Roman Empire fell apart
The Romans never conquered the Seleucid Empire.
Youlerant? If you mean tolerant, the Romans were very tolerant of other religions. They often incorporated the gods of foreign people into their own pantheon of gods. The cults of Mithras, Cybele and Isis were imported into Rome itself and the Jews were allowed to follow their unique religion unmolested. This religious tolerance was one of the reasons for the success of the Roman empire.
