They conquered all of Africa that was known
>They conquered all of Africa that was known
No they didn't.
There were Roman expeditions all the way to the Chad lake, there was definitely much of Africa that was known but not conquered.
Why didnt Rome conquer whatever was above the Rhine in europe? Did they fear the snow men?
Nothing of value there, also too far away
They saw the Chad lake and realized they couldn't even compare their Virgin mare nostrum to it, and turned back in shame
To get to even any place worth of any value you have to cross a big ass desert the size of their entire empire
In short, yes
This. Also too far inland from the mediterranean, which was the lifeblood of the empire.
>Virgin mare nostrum
Oh, I wonder how many civilizations did the chad lake nurture?

>Literally the easiest sea to sail
lol
>the easiest sea
>not the baltic sea
If it was that easy they would have reached Sardinia
implying the romans had the technology necessary to build airplanbes
they could have used steam bath powered airplanes dummy
They feared the dry desert and it's heat of destruction
you can't reach Sardinia by boat in ancient times you stupid fucking mongrel they couldn't even read in ancient Rome you think they could have sailed to Sardinia?
This, it took them decades to even get to Sicily
