Rome’s Conquest of the Italian
Peninsula
During 509 to 264 B.C.E, Rome took over the
Italian Peninsula. Rome conquered the
Etruscan's and their neighboring areas. They
gained land but at a cost. They had been
fighting wars for two centuries. As a result,
they had many Romans serve in the Army.
Most of the fighters were Plebeians. This is
what happened with the conquering of the
Italian Peninsula.
This is a Map of the
Italian Peninsula. This is
where the Romans first
expanded to.

Overseas Expansion During the Punic
Wars
During 264 to 146 B.C.E, the Roman Empire
expanded to what’s now Spain, the Alps, Sicily,
etc. They fought Carthage in the Punic Wars.
After the Wars, they had new customs and
traditions from all the different people. This is
how Rome expanded overseas. The orange

Expansion During the Final Years of the
Republic
During 145 to 44 B.C.E, Roman conquest
brought wealth and riches to the City of
Rome. There was wars between Julius Caesar,
and Pompey. Caesar won, so he took control.
Caesar made changes. He gave work to many
Romans and held Gladiator contests to
entertain the poor. They expanded to Gaul,
part of Asia Minor, Syria, and past Carthage.

during 145 to 44
B.C.E.
Rome Becomes an Empire
During 44 B.C.E to 14 C.E, Caesar’s murder
started up another series of wars that lasted
about 10 years. Octavian (later known as
Augustus), took over. He encouraged
education, art, and literature. He was helping
turn everything into an Empire. They called
him Rome’s first Emperor. After his death, that
was the last expansion of Rome. It then
became an Empire.
This is a statue of
Octavian, also
known as
Augustus, who
was Rome’s first
Emperor.
