Roman Weaknesses Roman empire was an empire with long,
exposed landward frontiers. African Coastal provinces flanked by deserts
False sense of security Europe never satisfactorily defended
Even after 100 years of conquest/expansion Most crucial mistake Caesar made was not
expanding beyond the Rhine river and accepting those cultures Would be bitter about not being included in the
Roman Empire
