The positives were that the Romans were tolerant towards the religions and custom of the conquered people and also allowed them to use their customary laws at the local level. They also built roads, bridges, aqueducts and public buildings around the empire. The empire developed an extensive trading network, and many areas of the empire benefited from this. Egypt, Tunisia and Sicily exported great quantities of grain to the city of Rome. The Romans also developed a multicultural outlook.
The negatives were that the Romans were interested in power and some of the decisions which were designed to bolster power were not beneficial to the conquered peoples. They also dealt with rebellions ruthlessly and sometimes even destroyed towns. The persecution of the Christians were also a negative, but then this was replaced by toleration, and Christianity became the religion of the empire. Many rich Romans were only interested in their wealth and privilege and were insensitive towards the plight of the poor and opposed reforms aimed at helping them. They also thought that the poor were idle and subhuman. Slavery was a negative. However, slaves were war captives, and when Rome ended her conquests, not many people were enslaved. Moreover, they were in the habit of freeing them. At one point, the majority of the citizens of the city of Rome were freedmen or their descendants.
