What was the result of Roman Expansion?

Rome was established as a tribal village that later grew into a kingdom, then into a republic, and finally into an empire before its fall. Roman expansion resulted in the growth of the roman population. This was first achieved by the predominantly male group taking wives from neighboring native groups. Rome was also successful in conquering several regions and integrating their people into the Roman society.


In order to achieve the notable victories in battle during the Roman expansion, the leadership was forced to invest heavily in their military capability. The investments resulted in the growth of the Roman military in numbers and resources. This improved their ability to defend and attack other territories in line with their expansion requirements.


The expansion also resulted in the growth of the Roman economy. The territories that fell to the Romans paid tribute and provided the necessary resources which facilitated the growth of the economy.


The expansion also resulted in both external and internal human conflicts. The Romans experienced civil strife brought about by administrative complexities and population diversity. The Romans were also challenged by growing neighboring communities who were focused on their own expansion.

Is there a word/phrase for "unperformant"?

As a software engineer, I need to sometimes describe a piece of code as something that lacks performance or was not written with performance in mind. Example: This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. Based on my Google searches, this isn't a real word. What is the correct way to describe this? EDIT My usage of "performance" here is in regard to speed and efficiency. For example, the better the performance of code the faster the application runs. My question and example target the negative definition, which is in reference to preventing inefficient coding practices. Answer This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. In my opinion, reads more easily as: This coding style leads to unmaintainable and poorly performing code. The key to well-written documentation and reports lies in ease of understanding. Adding poorly understood words such as performant decreases that ease. In addressing the use of such a poorly ...

Is 'efficate' a word in English?

I routinely hear the word "efficate" being used. For example, "The most powerful way to efficate a change in the system is to participate." I do not find entries for this word in common English dictionaries, but I do not have an unabridged dictionary. I have checked the OED (I'm not sure if it is considered unabridged), and it has no entry for "efficate". It does have an entry for "efficiate", which is used in the same way. Wordnik has an entry for "efficate" with over 1800 hits, thus providing some evidence for the frequency of use. I personally like the word and find the meaning very clear and obvious when others use it. If it's not currently an "officially documented" word, perhaps its continued use will result in it being better documented.
