Answer 1

• People of all different backgrounds and beliefs who all wanted a different way of life
• Control of all trade in the Mediterranean Sea

Step-by-step explanation:

The Roman empire encompassed a lot of territory which meant that the empire was full of people of different backgrounds and beliefs and all these people were hungry from a different way of life from the one they had been living. Rome was able to provide them with more peace and security during its golden age.

The Roman empire also controlled all trade in the Mediterranean Sea as they controlled the territory around the sea. This right was not won easily as they had to defeat various empires including Carthage and Egypt to do so.
