Rome had everything planned out for themselves. They new that what they already had was not enough and that they needed more. So, they decided to expand. Fighting off city by city trying to get everything they could; and getting new trade routs and silk roads. a silk road is a trade route leading the romans to china so they could trade extras that they had, for the meds and resources that they wanted. Rome became very large and decided that they wanted a leader. The army basically had most of the votes, and if they all voted on one person, (unlikely i guess) that they would probably (most likely) be the person to rule. Most Roman soldiers lost respect for their rulers quite quickly, so they came up with devious plans to kill their current ruler. Soon, they came up with more ideas and picked the one that they liked best. They would elect the richest person, murder him, and they would take all his money.The roman soldiers soon gained the right to have all the voting power. They also wanted to expand so they could gain more soldiers. The more they had, the more they could fight. And finally, they wanted to expand so they could gain more resources. The more resources they had, the more they could trade, and use to make stuff. This is my essay on "3 reasons why romans wanted to expand".
