The successes of the Roman conquest are associated with the valor of Rome's armies. However, tradition testifies to diplomatic negotiations before, during, and after conflicts. Historiography has long underestimated this other instrument of conquest. This work attempts to identify, based on actual practices, the major stages leading to the development of the operating methods of a truly Roman diplomacy.
