Answer:
Empires needed loyalty from their periphery, and often sent large armies to get it. Another problem is that as the empire expands, so do its borders. Longer borders cost more to defend against outsiders. Both the Han and Roman Empires struggled to protect their expansive borders against invaders.

What is an Empire?
By Dennis RM Campbell
There are as many definitions of empire as there have been empires, but some pretty familiar elements appear in most of them. It starts with working on our “control issues”.
All shapes and sizes
We tend to think of empires as being really big. The British Empire controlled nearly 14 million square miles, about 24% of the entire world! But that example, from 1920 CE, is a little too recent to really get an idea of the world's 4,300 years of empire that the world has experienced. The Akkadian Empire of Mesopotamia (2330 – 2200 BCE) controlled only 30,000 square miles when it began, roughly the size of South Carolina, and it's doubtful that imperial control ever extended much further. As we will see, empires are more accurately measured by power and wealth than by square miles.
