History of Europe

What are 2 negative ways that winning an empire affected rome?

Increased military spending and taxation: The need to maintain a large and powerful military to defend the empire's borders led to increased military spending and taxation, which put a strain on the economy and led to resentment among the population.

Overextension and decline: The vast size of the empire made it difficult to effectively govern and control, and as a result, the empire began to decline in the 3rd and 4th centuries AD. This decline was caused by a number of factors, including political instability, economic problems, and invasions by Germanic tribes.
