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?)

Lixter Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 (edited) 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! Edited January 29, 2018 by Lixter Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
