Niggers were the least of their concerns. Once you conquered Egypt and the Mediterranean shore you had the territories with the most resources (farming land) and the most agreeable climate. Nobody needs a giant sandbox if they don't use fossil fuels it contains.

Because of bacteria and diseases. Europeans were not customed to the climate, fauna, flora, bacteria etc of the African continent. If the Romans would move far into the continent they'd probably just die or something.

This is why the "White man stole black slaves" meme is bullshit because if the whites would come into Africa for a long time they'd get sick..

Pic related is the honest and real reason why no foreign power ever invaded, conquered, colonized or settled Africa until the development of intercontinental sea trade.

There was a gigantic wall of sand in the way.

They reached their natural borders and size, pretty much like the Chinese Empire.

They were also surrounded by poorly inhabited and nomadic lands in Africa.

There were civilized and rich lands in Mali or Ethiopia, but an expedition there would be impossible, cus Jungle, Desert and no Ocean-faring reliable fleets.
>>
>>134545777
Nothing to conquer. Sure, Africa has a lot of resources but they didn't have the means back then to find them, extract them or use them.

North Africa, particularly Egypt was that mattered to them. That was the richest part of Africa and still is to this day.

Empire tends to crush itself under its own weight. Imperial rome, which was Rome in its largest. Did not have the government or economy to support such a large Sovereign area. The sheer power one of them emperors would have wielded have been enough to ensure would have died I've been replaced every other day.
>>
>>134545777

The Romans had a client state in Nubia which functioned in a similar manner as Qaddafi's Libya. The Romans were interested more in the Mediterranean basin, where actual civilizations participate in trade and other profitable endeavors.

Even your pic explains why they didn't push any further into the interior. With Egypt's fertile Nile harvests under their control, there was little if anything to gain by pressing further into the African interior. The Romans were interested in conquest, and unless one considers illiterate, backwater, primitive herders and farmers, hunters and gatherers, to be "high civilization," then there was nothing there to conquer.

From a Roach perspective, I can see that these barbaric and ignorant herders, tribesmen, cannibals, etc, may have actually represented a step forward for civilization.

>>
>>134545777
Many reasons. You can only spread yourself so thin, epecially before modern methods of transport.

They also already conquered most of the best areas in Africa, why conquer more? Would it be worth the expensive?

Also, don't forget about the Tsetse, malaria, and all the other wonderful diseases in Africa.

Romans did travel all around Africa and had extensive maritime trade.
Roman coins have been found even in Madagascar and Zimbabwe.
They also conducted many expeditions by land.
Their southern outpost was at Arsinoe (near Assab, in actual Eritrea) on the Ethiopian shore.
But, as many said, it didn't made sense to conquer the desert and a stable contact with Rome was too difficult without modern technologies.

I know Turks are kinda retarded, but you can't just have cities in the middle of a fucking desert.

Why tf would they want to conquer africa? They already conquered egypt, morocco and carthage to secure their power in the mediterranean sea, The only thing they saw further south was the saharan desert and there was literally nothing there for them except sand, and non-fertile non-habitable

Rome annexing the saharan desert would be like if the US were to take over greenland, completely fucking useless and waste of resources.
