∻Answer∻ ⚹ The area that was the farthest east added to the Roman Republic between 270 and 100 BC was the region of Syria. ⚹ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Roman Expansion and Eastern Mediterranean Control ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ During the period between 270 and 100 BC, Rome was aggressively expanding its territory through conquest and diplomacy. The Roman Republic's easternmost acquisition during this time was Syria, which became a province after the defeat of the Seleucid Empire in 64 BC by General Pompey. This was part of Rome's broader strategy to dominate the Mediterranean basin, which included the eastern territories that were once part of the Hellenistic world following the conquests of Alexander the Great. The inclusion of Syria significantly extended Rome's influence into the Eastern Mediterranean and Near East, setting the stage for further expansion and conflicts in the region. ⚹◊What impact did Rome's expansion into the Eastern Mediterranean have on their economy and society during this time period⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
