The Roman empire famously never fought an offensive war. They were always defensive wars. Sometimes preemptive defensive wars.
Preemptive defense, looks a heck of a lot like an offense, to the victims
To be honest, the Roman empire’s favorite target was… the Roman empire. They fought more internal than external wars, especially from the 3rd century onwards.
It would depend a lot, Carthage for example absolutely was going to shoot first if Rome didn’t, the Hellenistic world as well most likely, especially after Hannibal fled there after the second Punic War.
