Ezana, the ruler of the Aksumite Empire, attacked Meroe, the capital of the Kingdom of Kush, primarily to expand his territory and assert Aksumite dominance in the region. The conflict was also motivated by trade interests, as controlling Meroe would allow Aksum to secure lucrative trade routes. Additionally, the rise of Christianity in Aksum may have influenced Ezana’s desire to weaken pagan rivals and spread his new faith.
