Think about what it took to maintain their excellent road network between important places.

For shipping, there were support cities one day's "sail" apart.

Based on archeological finds, the trading empire of Rome was much larger. And slavery was a part of all of it.

A huge part of it. But their slaves were citizens of places they conquered or people unable to pay their debt and were mostly white due to the geography. .
