    Rome expanded as far as it could go (its borders were vast oceans, deserts, and forests) before it was torn apart by civil wars and barbarian invasions. The result was feudalism in the west and Byzantium and Islam in the east. These latter two civilizations used modified forms of the slave mode of production.
