The Roman Empire and the Roman Empire

I've always been like the roman empire, i find its longevity and structures interesting. It's very easy to think about the man empire as if it's full of paid up gingoistic romans. But people who live under empires are oft the best critics of them. And i think that gives Rome a lot of staying poer fome. The writers that we have not sitting there saying, oh, grey, let's conquer some more guys. They're saying, look, we started to go downhill the moment we got an empire. There is a moral vacuum at the heart of our empire. I'm always on the awkward squad, wherever the squad is, on thekward squad
