Why did rome have enemies?
Everybody! :) They were at war with about all their neigbors all the time. They fought the German tribes, the British tribes, the French tribes, the Northern Greeks, Romanian and Hungarian sorts, the people of the Russian steppe, the Iranians, the Iraqis, the Turks... you get the idea. There were all sorts of barbaric tribes that Rome fought. They were less advanced technologically and, for the most part, easily beaten. Historically, the Romans had real trouble with the Huns, the Goths, the Carthaginians, and the Parthians. Everybody else was just a nuisance to be beaten to plant another Roman flag on the ground. I hope I helped.
