It was not good exactly, but it is amazing that they were able to hold their territory for so long. All empires eventually fall and lose the lands they once controlled, that is why today we do not fight to conquer, like we once did. Instead we fight for other reasons. The Romans often lost many parts of their empire and constantly struggled to keep control. The Romans were able to hold their territory largely because of two things; their roads, and the way they conquered. Their road system made trading very easy and helped their economy flourish. The Roman method of conquering also helped. After the Romans conquered an area the conquered people become Roman and are required to speak the Roman language, Latin. Both, helped them spread their culture and help to create unity in there vast empire.
