I got to crash

The fact julius abandoned the republics law and didnt reliquish power was the start. But it was a slow fall. Compounded by the split of east and west, following a series of horrible emperors, wars that stretched on far to long. Over expansion. Conquered people not assimulating enough, or at all. The roman army becoming majority auxillary foriegn groups. And ending in the west almost bankrupting, disease, hunger and the invasiom of the goths

Not trying to be a dick

Nah I'd say the fall started with Commodus

I know i come off as abrasive

Oh commudus was one of those horrrid emperors

have a good night

Yep. You have the 5 good empowers ending with Commodus

His father was decent but abandoning the tradition of succession for his son who was ill fit was a horrid mistake

Also considered the golden age of rome

HE SAID GOODNIGHT!

Yep

But thw fact julius abandoned the republic law. Was the catalyst for the rest

But in some ways you can't really blame him. All of previous dudes of the golden age were childless

woah

But the tradition of choosing an apt person and conducting decades of training for the position was what saved rome from further octavians

In Teagardens to Julius what about Marius and Sulla

Regards

And the Gracchi brothers

The rebuild was already falling apart long before Julius go there

Republic sorry

i wonder how the industrial revolution happened

if it wasn't enlightenment

Gun smithing

there was technology invented in the middle ages! the cannon

what do you need to make a cannon?

how to cast bronze 101

or wait, weld a bunch of iron bars together

basically the skills of a cooper, upscaled

and cannons were shit until the 1600s was it

Not a period I know well. Rome is my bread and butter

i mean romans could have had gunpowder, but they didn't for some reason

Rifle makers had to rifle barrels in a consistent manner which led to them building jigs

there's no real explanation for why china got to it first... i guess it was just people playing with toys

Sulla was at least after julius

romans weren't really as inventive as other cultures of a similar size

sulla came before julius @Goblin_Slayer_Floki :

😛

Sulla was not after Julius

Bleh your right fucking bc
