To be fair, Roman history is really cool.
True, but there is a lot of Roman history and some find it cool for the wrong reasons.
All history is cool. Roman history just has a lot to study.
Agreed. But if you're going to fixate on one era, you could do a lot worse than Roman history.
Other cool eras to fixate on:
There's a lot of really cool history, Roman history is extra cool though since you can see so much of it in Europe.
You can also hear it every day if you’re an English speaker. The Roman conquest of England greatly affected the English language.
Yes but I can't let this chance go by to piss off the English and say they're a German colony, the country they love to hate.
Speak a germanic language.
England, literally land of the Angle. Where are the Angle from? And who's the other part of the Anglo-Saxons?
Ruled by....The Windsors? Doesn't sound right.
Or did they change their Von Saxen-Gotha name for some mysterious reason in 1914?
Ask them why they let their little island be conquered so many times. Romans, Vikings, Anglo-Saxons, Normans. That we know of. Did they need an infusion of culture because they have none of their own? Was it a DEI thing? We may never know.
Yeah, I can picture much of roman history in my mind and put into context. Asian history is almost like fantasy lore and no matter how much I learn about it I cannot wrap my mind around how recent tieping rebellion is even though christanity played a huge role in it.
Taiping Rebellion is a mess.
