You couldn't trust the local guides

>In 26-25 BC, a Roman expedition to Arabia Felix (modern-day Yemen) led by Aelius Gallus, the prefect of Egypt, was sabotaged by
Syllaeus, a Nabataean official who promised to act as a guide. Acting under orders or out of desire to protect Nabataean trade monopolies, Syllaeus deliberately led the Roman army of 10,000 men on a treacherous, six-month, circuitous route through waterless deserts and rocky, harborless coasts. Syllaeus claimed there was no safe land route to their destination, forcing the army through deserts instead of along the coast. He guided them in long circles, avoiding known wells and water sources, which resulted in widespread disease and dehydration among the troops. The army was so weakened by these tactics that although they managed to capture cities like Najran (Negrana), they were forced to retreat from Arabia, with most of the army dying from disease and hunger rather than combat. Syllaeus was later executed in Rome for his treachery and other crimes

But that is Yemen. You don’t need a guide to follow the Nile to its source in Ethiopia.

Why would they? What resources were there to justify spending manpower on conquering and holding that territory?
Egypt was the prize of Africa.

>>219792995
That's pretty good

>>219788167
Same reason they didn't conquer Ireland or Scotland - they knew it wasn't worth it

>>219788167
The conquest of Egypt happened at a time where the culture of endless war was coming to an end and most of Central Italy was demilitarised in the next century. If Egypt became a Roman province under the Middle Republic, they probably would have conquered the horn of Africa and the Arabic coast. Republican leaders wanted to go to war because they only had so much time and they wanted a win for their career. Emperors wanted a win and then to sit on their asses because it's a waste of time for them to do more.

The Romans conquered because they wanted to. They fought in Hispania for over a century for little to no material gain considering how much effort and resources they actually put into it. It didn't need a payout. It's just that the leadership and culture changed, and endless war is less attractive to an absolute monarch than it is a gang of elites jockeying for prestige.

Kek. Fucking based.

They didn't go much further north either.
So either climate or lack population density of those regions could not sustain Roman logistics
