Brindisi and Rome were both very strong empires during the first century.

The Brindisian and Roman empires lasted long as well as the fact that they lasted a significant amount of time do to the fact that they had the three key facts to lead to the rise of there empires education, military and technology.
Rome and Brindizie were very strong and powerful because they had a next to unstoppable and extremely well disciplined military. For example, their diet shows us much about the Roman nutritional ideas. Naturally the officers of the army enjoyed a more versatile diet. Whenever possible the monotonous army diet was naturally supplemented with whatever came to hand such as pork, fish, chicken, cheese, fruit or vegetables. But the basic ration of frumentum always formed the basis of their diet. 1 Archaeologists working along Hadrian's Wall in Northern Britain discovered records for the household of a commander of a fort from around 100 AD. These records list choice cuts of pork, even piglet, chicken, venison, anchovies, oysters, eggs, radishes, apples, lentils, beans, lard and butter.
In military bases, units were heavily involved in their own supply. Land was set aside for the military to plant crops and graze their animals. These lands were referred to either as prate (meadow), or simply as territorium (territory).2 .
Herds of cattle were also kept, watched over by soldiers called pecuarii (herdsmen). There are reports, particularly in the later empire of large numbers of limitanei (frontier guardsmen) who acted as soldier-farmers, charged with growing the crops for the troops.
The military bases on the frontiers of the empire were far more than mere fortified headquarters, but large agricultural estates.
The discipline of the republican army is legendary.
