hannibal crossing the alps. one of the greatest military achievmants. happened during the 2nd punic war. took 16 days to cross. many fo the elephants died. why did he cross the alps. he thought he would give him a better chance aginst the romans if he came down with all of his war elephants. wars were ought over pure hatred by one side aginst the other. roman trade. most traded tiems. beef, corn, glassware, iron, purple dye. trADING PARTNERS SPAIN FRANCE middle east, north africa. roman trade.
they crossed across the and that wasant a good thing. bc he lost alot of army.
they used the tiber river, meditreain sea and black se for trading route. two way trade routes extended to other commercial centers in the lands as far away as egypt germany and chine. the emprie location around the md seas made it all easier.

roman ag. used crop rotation. sometimes had to import food because fo mountains. after getting egypt they were able to import alot fo wheat. most crops raised on large estates caled latifundias. cicero considered best fo all roman occupations. the main crop was wheat so bread was present at every meal. majority of work was done by slaves. farms made the main sources fo income for romans. certain of type of food was given out to the people. since the roman empire is big so there was a mixture of crops grown. romans had 4 systems of farming. work done by owner. tennat farming for sharing forced labor or slaves. and other arrangements of ur famr.
smaller farms are probly the best. bc they give peopel more money and bug farms jsut make one big guy rich.
