Rome didn't get rich from trade or agriculture. It ran on one resource so efficiently that it funded an empire for 400 years. And what that resource was is deeply uncomfortable.
The engine: military conquest. Every campaign Rome won generated slaves — and slaves were the Roman economy. At Rome's peak, 35-40% of the entire Italian population was enslaved. 3 million people. After the conquest of Dacia in 106 AD, Trajan brought 500,000 slaves to Rome in a single campaign.
