If you list 'the following' you might get an answer.
Greek cities interfered in the Persian Empire in support of the Greek cities within the Empire. This led the Persians to think that the only way for peace was to absorb the Greek cities into the Empire. A fifty-year war ensued.
Communication was one big problem. Even though the Romans had good roads and a signal system, it still could take days or sometimes weeks for a message to get from a province to Rome. And more time for the reply to get back to the province. Another problem was the various conditions in different parts of the empire. A law, that worked in Rome, for example, might not be reasonable or even enforceable in a place like Thrace or Dacia.
