Question

Which of following methods did the Romans use to unite the diverse people groups living in the Roman Empire? Select all that apply.

weak government
Christianity
military force
common language
expanded system of roads

Answer 1

Christianity
military force
common language
expanded system of roads

Briefly: Rome used military force to conquer and enforce order; roads tied the empire together for trade, travel, and communication; a common administrative language (Latin in the West, Greek in the East) helped cohesion; and in the later empire Christianity became an official religion that helped create a shared identity. "Weak government" is not a unifying method.
