The roman economy was based primarily upon conquest.So, if we compare the periods in Roman history where great conquests were achieved; through correlation we find the richest periods. I suppose the wealthiest period would have been the begining of the first century through about half of the second centurys AD. Trajan's Dacien campaigns in 103AD mark a very prosperous era;which lasted well into the second century. Also, a notable campaign would be the second Punic war circa 216 BC. with the conquest of Carthage, Rome gained a port in Africa and complete dominance over the Mediterranean (this conflict took place in the republican era, so bare that in mind) the conquest of Egypt under Augustus in 43BC is what lead to the great prosperity of the first century ( which I mentioned earlier)In Roman history, what was the richest period?10 points for clear and helpful answer?
I don't have any sources with me because I'm at work, but he's right. Due to the conquering of the better part of the known world by Julius and Octavian Caesar, it began what was the most prosperous period of the Roman Empire.





I'm not sure it lasted 200 years, but it definitely started during the rule of Octavian.
I don't really have any sources, but I know it's during what is called the Pax Romana. Which I'm pretty sure is about a 200 year period after the rule of Octavian. If I were you I would use this as a lead.





I hope this helps a bit :-)
