The Romans were able to conquer the world because of the power they were given to by the republic. The republic split up power, so no one person had control over everyone like a king. The Romans conquered the world with their strong military and good orginization. The people the Romans conquered were brought into their republic and paid taxes. Because of their strong government and military, Rome was very, very successful.
