Why Was Rome So Successful?

       Rome was so successful in creating her empire for many reasons. The first reason is their creation of the Latin League. This was an alliance that strategically placed allies in the position to defend the east where most of the invaders came in, so that Italy only had to worry about the north. Another reason for Rome's success was their perseverance.  Rome had been brought to its knees by the Gaul invasion, and the Romans were debating whether to move to a different location. however, their strong will remained true, and they rebuilt their city to the point where they could get back to conquering other lands. and finally, Rome's success came because Rome allowed status to be earned. Families that were wealthy and intelligent were able to receive citizenship which made Rome's citizen body become stronger, and filled with more apt people to serve which set Rome up for more success.
