Answer:
As a result, Rome managed to conquer land and goods.
Step-by-step explanation:
Rome has always endeavored to defend itself against attacks by its neighbors and this, in addition to allowing the Romans to live in security, has allowed Rome to enrich itself greatly by conquering land and goods from the people who have failed to attack it. The nations that were defeated by Rome, were dominated and exploited by the Romans. These nations were obliged to provide land and wealth to increase the glory and fortune of Rome. This allowed Rome to conquer almost the entire Italian Peninsula, becoming an economic and military power. After conquering Italy, Rome was able to protect itself from the invasion of Carthage, dominating the region and enslaving the survivors, the same happened with Macedonia, Gregia, Egypt, North Africa and a part of Asia Minor.
