<p>[QUOTE="Ken Dorney, post: 2780904, member: 76086"]I think you just hit the nail on the head. None of are wrong, and all of us are right. All of these issues contributed to the ultimate end. But it also leads to another very interesting idea. The Romans always seemed to be a culture looking back. Take the Republican moneyer series. Often they depicted ancestors and events of the past. During the empire it was all about victories, what titles they had earned. Sure, there were many issues that were a bit optimistic (or downright propaganda), but are there issues which look forward instead of back? Not sure, really, but its an interesting question.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
