Roman control refers to the governance and influence exerted by the Roman Empire over its territories. This control was established through military conquest, political alliances, and the establishment of Roman law. The empire expanded its reach across Europe, North Africa, and parts of Asia, integrating diverse cultures under a centralized administration. To maintain order, the Romans built infrastructure such as roads and cities, which facilitated trade and communication. They also implemented a system of local governance, allowing some degree of autonomy while ensuring loyalty to Rome. This combination of military strength and administrative efficiency helped sustain Roman control for centuries.
