That's just Roman propaganda

sure, they had civilization, but they were primitive

They make barbarians out to be idiots

How so?

Let's be honest, the romans were technologically shit too

Thousands of years of tribal despots

They relied too heavily on slaves so they didn't advance their technology. It's a large reason they got wrecked in the end

The romans hired so many barbarian mercs as soldiers

And remember

Who had op cavalry compared to Rome

Yes they did

They had technology

they're not as caveman like as you probably think

They were relatively benevolent conquerors

Rome?

parthia?

Rome destroyed entire cities

They did have technology but they didn't continue to advance on it because of their reliance on slaves

Sometimes, of course they did

you have to sometimes

I think they were pretty advanced still though. Cement wasn't rediscovered for a long time after the western side fell right?

You don't have to raze cities to the ground

Famous one

Carthage

still the best civilization to ever exist

Third war was completely unfounded

Nope

That's America m8

^^^^^^^ TRUTH

Nah America isn't that great

that's propaganda

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Quiet

Living under an empire would have been easier, I think

especially if you were a trader

Better than what?

That's subjective

USA is pretty amazing just admit it

US doesn't have a strong enough culture to survive long-term

too much diversity

It's a constantly changing culture
