Quote: (Originally Posted by Lechium) US is nothing like Rome.
When Rome was in its prime there was the, unheard of, prolongated time of absolute peace. There were no wars and no riots for about 150 years. Absolute military stilness, in the world known to the Rome.
The world is anything BUT peaceful at the moment.
There are many other aspects as well (is US was like Rome it would be waving nukes non-stop). Comparing US to Rome is pretty simple, yeah, but is not correct.
Research the subject, pleaese.
ahhhh, yes, the Pax Romana... of course, that's b/c Rome had most of the known world under its thumb. and i assume that by 'absolute military stillness,' you mean that they weren't involved in any wars or conflicts, b/c the military helped keep rome what it was for so long
