The [[Roman Empire]] could control such a large amount of land because of their efficient systems for spreading information, goods, and other supplies across large distances. Goods specifically were vital to fueling outposts in distant territories, like northern Africa and western Asia. Trading posts played a large part in managing these goods, where they were going, and when. Some goods exchanged at these trading posts and other parts of the Roman trade system were precious stones, [[fabrics]], [[ivory]], and [[wine]]. There is also evidence that they traded [[cattle]] at the Empúries trading post, established in the 6th century BCE, on the Iberian Peninsula.<ref>Colominas, L., and Edwards, C. J.
