Romanization also may be called Latinization. It represents the written word and/or spoken speech with the Roman/Latin alphabet. It may be attempted if the original words or languages are different from the Roman language and the Latin alphabet. And it may be attempted when there's no writing system at all in effect for the language under consideration. The Romanization/Latinization may be carried out by transcribing the spoken word, or by transliterating the written text. Examples of languages for which Romanization/Latinization is carried out include Arabic, Armenian, Belorussian, Bulgarian, Chinese, Georgian, Greek, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, Macedonian, Persian, Russian, Thai, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese.

What barbaric things did the Romans do?

Massive amounts of slavery. In Gaul the average price for a human slave was the same amount as a cask of Italian wine. Invaded and took control of large parts of Europe, the Middle East and Africa by force killing millions of people in the process. Destroyed the native cultures of the people they subdued in a process of Romanisation, (See Tacitus' Agricola chapter 21, I think, for a good section about the Romanisation of the Britons) The first Roman Emperor Augustus had the son of Cleopatra and Julius Caesar murdered because he could have been a threat to his rule. The Emperors Nero and Caligula both did terrible unspeakable things to their close female relatives. Killed vast numbers of early Christians for their beliefs which were at that time not tolerated by the Roman state. It was not against the law for a Roman man to kill his wife if he suspected her of cheating on him with another man. Nor was it against the law for a Roman man to kill his daughter if she tried to marry without his permission. The Romans liked to watch people kill each other in the arena as a form of entertainment.


Why did the Romans invade Romania?

Portugal did not exist in antiquity. The Romans did not actually conquer this area. The Lusitanians were a people who lived in most of present day Portugal, the Spanish region of Extremadura and a small part of the province of Salamanca. They fought a war (the Lusitanian War) from 155 B.C. to 139 B.C. against the Romans who had taken over southern Spain from the Carthaginians. This was a rebellion, but its exact reasons were not clarified by ancient writers. They were defeated. After this the Lusitanians continued to fight the Romans. However, there was a gradual process of Romanisation. The area was assimilated, rather than conquered.

How did military organization of the roman army and the republics wise policies work together to help Rome extend its power?

Roman military efficiency was in great part based on the ability of the state of the Republic to organise the army eficiantly and coordinate the campaigns of several legions of different fronts at the same time. This is one of the elements which enabled Rome to win the three Samnite wars which led to her expansion into central and southern Italy. Rome did not conquer the peoples it defeated in these wars. Instead it made alliances with them under which they had to supply soldiers who fought in auxiliary troops which supported the Roman legions at their expense. This system worked because Rome supported the ruling elites of these people and she shared the spoils of wars, which could be considerable. Rome also ensured control by founding colonies (settlements) in their territories, which acted as sounding posts and also fostered a degree of Romanisation. The allies supplied some 60% of the military manpower available to Rome, making her a superpower in the Mediterranean.
