LO2:
Romans were definitely military people and their first battle was against the Etruscans. Rome was known for their superior army, they also created lots of allies. By 250 B.C. Rome had conquered all of Italy south of the River Po. Rome provoked multiple wars with other countries, by 202 B.C. Rome had control of all the Western Mediterranean. Carthage in Sicily, Spain and Africa became the first Roman provinces. Except they did not enjoy this because they were treated more as conquered lands and controlled by Rome, they also had to pay tribute to them.
