It was victory in war. Much of Rome's imperial expansion occurred during the period of the Roman Republic and the only instance of deliberate conquest was Julius Caesar's conquest of Gaul. Apart from that, Rome expanded because of winning many wars which were fought for different reasons and at different times. The process occurred over about three centuries. After the Republic Augustus expanded the empire because he wanted a buffer zone north of Italy for its defence (the Alpine region) and because he wanted to consolidate Roman control over the Balkan Peninsula. He also ordered a conquest of Germany because the Germanic peoples were attacking the empire. After success in conquering southern and central Germany, three Roman legions were slaughtered and the conquest was abandoned. Claudius had southern England conquered to strengthen his weak political position in Rome through the prestige of conquest. Vespasian ordered the conquest of northern England because of troubles with the Brigantes, the largest local tribe in the region. Trajan waged war on the Dacians because they were raiding the empire and conquered Dacia. He also fought one of the many wars between Rome and the Persians, won and took Mesopotamia (Iraq) from them. His successor, Hadrian, gave it back to them because he did not want war with the powerful Persians.
