Oh yes they did... When they was building their little empire they did horrible thing to their enemies, and could be rather nasty to others - but when the empire was stabilized, and the "best" emperors was put into charge, after the republic was dead that is, it was universal stated that the roman Empire was at peace, and inside the empire peace prospered for more than 250 year... Under the aegis of roman governors.. Some bad, some good, some just did their job as best as they could...
