I mean, the Romans were just industrialized pillagers. Who cares what they would have thought.
Yeah! What have the romans ever done for us?!
I mean, if you’re going to disregard the contributions of Viking culture because they were notorious for their pillaging, it’s only fair to disregard Rome, whose entire economy was based on systematized pillaging.
Both cultures have contributions, but the wholesale massacre of other civilizations gets a pass when we discuss Rome for some reason.
Give it another 50 years and you can substitute British for American
Why the need for 50 years?
'Cause America is just getting started, baby!
They gave us roads.
Well yeah, obviously the roads. The roads go without saying, don’t they?
See, even in stuff that was just secondary to them, they were better!
