Rome expands southward into Africa through the Nile?

The POD is around 30 BC when Egypt was established as a province. What would be the result if Rome were to follow the Egyptian Empire's footsteps across the Nile River. If I'm not mistaken, East Africa (where the Nile cuts through) is rich with mineral resources. Gold, silver, and copper are found in excess in countries like Sudan and Uganda. So what's the plausibility that Rome would use the Nile as a base to expand (just like the Egyptians did)?
