So we are just starting our extended essays in school, and im unsure if my topic is too broad, and how much narrower should i go? My topic is How did warfare and militarism shape the Roman Empire? 

I think the topic is too broad because the Roman Empire lasted for centuries; you can write an entire book on the role of warfare and militarism played throughout the time the Empire existed. I would suggest looking at a specific period of time (maybe a time where there was a particularly heavy amount of conflict and warfare?)

I agree with ShootingStars. 

The current topic that you have is way too broad. Here are some ways to refine your topic:

- Narrow down on a specific time period of the Roman Empire

- Narrow down on the effects of militarism and warfare on the Roman Empire. (Economic effect, political effect etc. -- choose one specific aspect of warfare)

Hope this helps! :D
