Importance of Mediterranean Sea

  • The Mediterranean connects to other waterways of interest to the Romans such as the Bosporus Straits--this gave the Romans access to the spices and other riches of the East.  
  • Another reason why the Mediterranean was valuable was that Romans would have to cross the Alps to get to the rest of Europe.

Expansion of the Roman Republic

A period of Roman expansion in the Mediterranean occurred during the Mid-Republic, from 263-133 BCE. During this time Rome engaged in three wars against its rival, Carthage, known as the Punic Wars. Many changes occurred in the military and administration of the Roman government as a result of these conflicts.

Thus, the Mediterranean Sea contributed to the expansion of the Roman Republic as the sea allowed for trade east of the Alps.
