Was there something inherent in Latin societies that made it easier for Rome to conquer it's empire. Did they have a more efficient in its agricultural system, or was it a more martial culture. If Rome hadn't risen to its great heights could another Latin city do the same. What I am asking is the system that Rome set up unique to itself or were there similar cities in the area that would have risen had Rome not absorbed.

A lot of it was luck, frankly. They won a bunch of wars that could easily have gone the other way.

But not all luck. They had several exceptional qualities:
*tenacity - after disaster and humiliation, they immediately got back up and tried again
*adaptability - when something didn't work, they changed. When they saw someone else (friend or foe) doing something well, they adopted it
*tolerance - they treated their vanquished enemies relatively well (but firmly), and let them join the Roman culture. Instead of being liabilities to occupy, they became assets.

Basically, Rome was the Borg.
