    In 275 BC the Romans were starting to expand out of Italy and conquer the other parts of the Mediterranean. They began from Sicily which is an island near Italy. The Romans were fighting the Carthaginians. The Greeks were involved in this mission against Rome, due to which Romans got angry at the Greeks, and they began to take Greece over as well. In 197 B.C the Romans got brilliant success and defeated the Macedonians in the first and second Macedonian Wars. The victorious leader Flamininus formed a protectorate over the “independent” city-states of Greece. But Romans had no consistent rules for the Greek states actually they only demanded security along with high revenue. Archaeology reveals that under the Roman rule the Greece people performed well and gained many achievements in many field of life and also they built many new houses and beautiful buildings. They were able to sail and trade peacefully all over the Mediterranean Sea, but still they were not happy from the situation. The Romans ruled on Greece for hundreds of years. The Romans found that Greek philosophy and Greek plays have too much variety and uniqueness so many Greece availed the opportunity and went to Rome as teachers and entertainers. In 400 AD Greece became poorer again because of the Germanic invasions.

     The Ancient Greeks and Romans both started their past notes as city-states. While the irregular seashore and the mountainous terrain of the Greek peninsula isolated the diverse Greek city-states from one another, the town of Rome was established in the geographical middle of a usually north-south simple bordered on the east with hills and on the west by the sea. Therefore, Rome was revealed to the migrations and invasions of persons from the Po River in the north and Sicily in the south.
    The two prime ethnic and heritage leverages upon the Romans were very resolute to a stage by this geography. That is, the first leverage was that of the Etruscans in the north, and the second foremost leverage was that of the Greeks in the south. By the time the city-state of Rome had appeared as a distinct entity out of its Etruscan sources and was arranged to elaborate its own exclusive leverage, Greek civilization had disperse all through the Mediterranean basin. However, the furious exclusiveness of the Greek city-states from one another, arising from their geographical isolation, had very resolute that Greek colonization of the Mediterranean would be an elongation of isolated city-states. The Greek polis did not allow the construction of a Greek domain, and the firm obstacles to the elongation of citizenship stopped any one city-state from evolving dominant. As we have glimpsed from Greek annals, the Athenians were on the way to conceiving a domain through their domination of the Delian League, but this tendency was turned around in the Pelopponesian Wars.
    The Romans, on the other hand, conveyed other groups on the Italian peninsula under their command, first by conquest, and then by expanding Roman citizenship to components of the conquered peoples. Over time, in the crucible of furious, unremitting confrontation throughout the Punic Wars, the persons of the Italian peninsula came to recognize themselves as Romans. There are, thus, two key constituents in the achievement of the Romans in construction an empire. One certainly was their infantry prowess, and the other was their organizational/political/legal ability in expanding their governance over the conquered peoples into the empire.
