Roman Empire isn't the Roman republic
were talking the republic
and it didn't have open borders
Wtf
Basically did
Any foederati who rebelled were right to do it
Emperors let mass immigration and settlement happen
They were used as meatshields by the romans
Wasn't that Caesar
So romans didn't have to fight
Good riddance Roman Empire
Had he taken charge at this time or was he the end of the republic?
Roman republic was good and the empire was decent in the beginning
No it wasnt
Republic was extremely corrupt
Their reliance on slaves really fucked em good
Empire was also corrupt
It's surprising they lasted so long
Not many emperors lasted very long tho
All governments are corrupt but the Roman system obviously worked
You mean the emperor getting assassinated and replaced every few years later on in the empire
Slavery doesn't work because of that
What do you mean
Barbarians were perfectly civilized
Not at all
Yes they were
They had stable social structures and culture
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
