Explanation:
The Romans achieved so many conquests because of how they dealed with areas newly conquered. They did not colonize them; instead they expanded Roman citizenship. When a place was conquered, it became Roman. This strategy of absorption instead of colonization strenghtened their army and held the empire together.

I) Slavery and land concentration increased immensely.
II) Retired legionaires wanted more land so more conquests had to be made.
