He did not conquer Greece. He attempted to bring the independent Greek city-states under control to bring peace and stop them disrupting his empire, but failed. The Greeks went back to fighting each other.

The Romans did not conquer Pompeii in the strict sense of the word. Back in the very early days of Rome's expansion, they took over the area known as Campania and Pompeii was a little town there, populated by Oscan speaking people. The Romans simply moved in and built their homes and business and absorbed the town into the Roman Empire.

Monaco was a small nd insignificant Greek settlement in antiquity. The most important city in the area was Massilia (modern Marseille) a Greek town which was a friend and ally and trading partner of Rome. There was an increased Roman presence in the south of what is now France after the Romans took over eastern and southern Spain. Trade in the area increased and Roman towns, such as Narbo (Narbonne), Nemausus (Nimes) and Arelate (Arles) were founded. The local Greek towns along this coast and the local Gauls got on well with the Romans. The region was annexed in197 B.C., after it was attacked by Gauls who lived further north. It became the Roman province of Gallia Narbonensis. The purpose was to improve the defence of the region as the Romans stationed legions in their provinces.

In Roman times there was no country called Monaco. What is present day Monaco was simply a part of the Mediterranean rim, which the Romans absorbed.
