In the strictest sense of the word the Roman Empire started when the city-state of Rome conquered Latinum, its surrounding territory. Although they made some progress at expansion in Italy, the major starting point of their expansion came at he end of the Punic wars with Carthage. From that point onward, it was all "go" for Rome.
