Why have historians referred to the Mediterranean Sea as a Roman lake?

1) the Mediterranean Sea is virtually enclosed. It is connected to other bodies of water only by two straits (the Strait of Gibraltar connects it to the Atlantic and the Bosphorus which connects it to the Black Sea). Therefore it looks like a massive lake. 2) the Roman conquered all the lands on the shores of the Mediterranean and this sea was the heart of the Roman Empire. Hence the expression Roman lake.
