Invasion on Italy by Cimbrii and Teutons took place in 109-101 BCE, when the Germanic tribes were forced to leave their homes and seek a new homeland. The great mass of people and determination were to put Rome in great danger.

Roman conquest of the Balearic Islands took place in 123 BCE. Previously, the islands were under the control of Carthage; however, from 146 BCE, when the Romans defeated the Punics, the islanders could enjoy a certain freedom.

For a long period, the Romans treated Transalpine Gaul only as a transit country. Even at the beginning of the 2nd century BCE they were not interested in conquering these territories, as they claimed that the communication route from Italy to Spain would be secured by their ally Massilia. Everything changed in the middle of this century.

In the history of Roman statehood, there were many rebellions of the lowest-lying social layer. Sometimes the uprisings were extremely dangerous.

After defeating Andriscus, Rome left troops in the Balkans with the intention of dealing with the Achaean League, where anti-Roman attitudes intensified. Over the past decades, the Union has been the strongest federal organization in Greece.

Lack of stability in Macedonia and the constant threat from barbarians led to the appearance of Andriscus, also known as the Fourth Macedonian War. This event had a major impact on the further political fate of Macedonia, after being defeated by Rome.
