<p>[QUOTE="panzerman, post: 6259318, member: 77704"]The Romans had their flaws. But they also built aqueducts for water, installed roads that still exist today. They carried on trade over vast distances. Their armies where super in their discipline/ training. They influenced many of their barbarian foes to become civilized. Like all great Empires, they became over extended, made too many enemies, and ended up being conquered by the Germanic King Alaric in 410AD. Here and now, we are all happy to collect their beautifull coinage. Even today, the "Fasces" symbol is in the US Congress, Napoleon Bonaparte used the Roman eagle/ standards. Military parades are also a Roman invention . You kinda have to wonder, what if Hannibal had finished them off, and freed the Italian people from RR tyranny, would the World be better today? The bad guys in that struggle were the Republicans of Rome.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
