Rome was a limited sea power primarily due to its focus on land-based military conquests and the expansion of its empire through terrestrial means. The Roman Navy was initially small and primarily used for transporting troops and supplies rather than engaging in large-scale naval warfare. Additionally, Rome's reliance on allies and client states for maritime support further restricted its naval capabilities. As a result, while Rome controlled significant coastal territories, its naval prowess remained secondary to its dominant land forces.
