Which Roman Wars and Conquests were Justified?
Yes, inspired by this and this threads...
So, which Roman conquests and annexations that can be justified? As for me, I choose all options except for the conquests of Magna Grecia, Achaea/Greece, Africa/Carthage, Syria, Gaul, Egypt, and Britain...as those conquests were just for political reasons or lust for plunders, and not for self-defense...
