Rome didn't really handle the problems, it was too big for its own good, it did well under Julius Caesar, but after his death the families vied for power over Rome. It did its best, increased policing by custodes (Roman Guards). The Roman Empire made good use of its legions, but due to its size it survived in different forms after Rome itself had fell. I.e. Byzantine Empire the birth-place of Christianity. Mass conversion of conquered territories known as "Romanization" allowed them to gain Roman citizenship. Roman leaders would be set up as a localized government of conquered regions. They were Rex Roma, or Roman Kings acting as multiple heads of a hydra for the Roman Empire. Caesar Augustus also created amazing policies to unite the empire, thus bringing peace and harmony to Rome for a few years.
These rulers were given a measure of local autonomy, power over the native inhabitants, and even permission to maintain armed forces. But Rome kept a close eye on any possible usurpers to prevent an autocracy.
Rome's army was unmatched and could crush any rebellion with brute and violent force. Rome had an order of executioners. They were the Carnifex, they executed, tortured and worked with custodes to capture and publicly torture possible rebel leaders.
Rome was an empire of unmatched military power, wealth, and art. Yet, due to the corruption within the political housing, even the Praetorian Guard, right hand of the Emperor took bribes by usurpers to turn the other cheek on assassinations, letting assassins gain entry and kill those they were supposed to protect.
Not that large
Diocletian realized the Roman Empire was too large for one person to govern.

The Roman Empire was so big that there were a lot of different people with different cultures living in it. The Roman Empire was a very big empire with its capital in Rome, ruled by an emperor. Roman Empire, political system established by Rome that lasted for nearly five centuries. War victory and a society with a large slave work force was the reason why the Roman empire got so large.
Two large states within the Holy Roman Empire were Bavaria and Austria. Bavaria, located in the southeastern part of the empire, was known for its cultural and political influence, particularly during the reign of the Wittelsbach dynasty. Austria, under the Habsburgs, played a crucial role in the empire's politics and was often a center of power, especially in the later centuries of the empire's existence. Both states significantly impacted the empire's governance and territorial dynamics.
Rome managed the challenges of governing its vast empire through a combination of administrative organization, local governance, and infrastructure development. They established a system of provinces, each overseen by appointed governors, allowing for localized control while maintaining overall imperial authority. The construction of roads and communication networks facilitated trade and military movement, enhancing cohesion and response times across the empire. Additionally, Rome often integrated conquered peoples by granting varying degrees of citizenship, which helped to promote loyalty and stability within its territories.
Lack of communication throughout the empire/society/etc. would definetely be one of the major difficulties to taking control of a large empire/society/etc. Another would be travel. "How would they get around?" would be a good question for that. Simple difficulties such as these can lead to the fall or decline of an empire,nation,etc.
French finical difficulties and the difficulties involved with governing a large, distant, sparsely populated area were deciding factors in the sell off of the American territories.
The Emperor controlled the border provinces and hence the army. The Senate controlled the settled areas. Lower levels of governance remained under local government (traditional city-state, tribal and principality).

It is necessary to have a strong military force with a large empire.
The challenges of governing an empire as large as Rome's and with the various ethnic groups contained in it were many. The main challenge was communication. Although the roads were excellent, it still took time for a communication/order/letter to reach the far corners of the empire. The distances also affected things such as tax gathering and rescue operations. For example, when there was an earthquake in Antioch, it took a considerable length of time for even the emperor's orders for the military to help the people to arrive, not to mention the physical aid in the form of rescue equipment, medicines and other humanitarian help.

It Was Large
When Islam first started, it spread with a speed that was really astonishing. This produced a very large empire that was unified because people were conquering and had not got around to governing and looking after their own personal powers. The unified empire lasted for only a very short time.
