At its peak the Roman Empire spanned north to its province of Britain, and west to the Atlantic coast of what is now Portugal. To the south Rome controlled much of what is now Egypt and to the east as far as the Euphrates River. It should be noted that wherever possible Rome used natural geographic places to form its borders. So we have the Atlantic Ocean, the Rivers Rhine, Danube and Euphrates as water boundaries.

In terms of square miles many historians use the square mileage of the continental United States as a comparison to the area of the Roman empire. Other natural geographies made the empire easy for transportation. Early on the Mediterranean Sea and its shorelines were all controlled by Rome.
