During Rome's wars of expansion conquest created great wealth for the elites though the spoils of war, which were often considerable, and the sale of slaves. Slaves in antiquity were enslaved civilian war captives. Most were bought by the owners of the large landed estates who used slave labour to expand their estates, thus increasing their wealth. Slaves were also employed in the mines as this activity at the time was considered as a death sentence. Trade was another major benefit. The Roman Empire developed thriving trading networks where locals around the empire sold their local goods around to other parts of the empire. This benefitted the local landowning elites and traders. It also benefited Roman shipping companies and merchants. The city of Rome was a magnet for trade because it was a large scale importer of goods. It needed large quantities of corn to feed its large population. Half of this came from Egypt and the rest mainly from Tunisia, Sicily and Sardinia. Spain was the biggest exporter of olive oil.
One of the main advantages newly conquered territories had when becoming a part of the Roman Empire was the access to Roman citizenship, and all its benefits, including protection by the law.
Once they had conquered villages and other cities, they had to deal with the war slaves and had to give them jobs. Because they had to give the slaves jobs, that took away jobs for the native Romans. Also, once a military ruler had conquered large areas of land, they kept wanting to expand and conquer. They became very power hungry and blood thirsty. Thus creating emperors and dictators.

The term Roman annexation refers to the annexation of territories to the Roman Empire as a Roman province. Sometimes newly conquered territories were annexed to the empire immediately. However, often, the territories were turned into client states by installing a ruler who was favourable to the Romans or they became allied kingdoms. Effectively, this was a form of indirect rule. This term refers to ruling a territory via local rulers who were subordinate to the Romans (or other imperial powers later in history). Over time, most of these client states and allies were annexed to the Roman Empire; that is, they became provinces of the Empire and came under direct Roman rule.
The western part of the Roman Empire suffered the invasions by the various Germanic people who dismembered it. They took over all of its land except for Italy and formed their own kingdoms in the areas where they settled.
