Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Roman Empire became powerful through international trade and commerce. They established trade routes, facilitated commerce, and encouraged trade with other regions. This led to economic prosperity, which in turn fueled their military expansion and eventual domination of the Mediterranean world. Asking other countries to join them in their empire (A) was not the primary means of their expansion, and sending out feudal lords to marry into neighboring lands (B) was not a Roman practice. Taxing the poor (D) was a means of revenue collection, but it was not the primary factor in the growth of the Roman Empire.
