Question Do as The Romans do! - Or better not?

Often, when I read through the Forums, I read the sentence "Do as The Romans do".

Adaption to a different culture may be quite important in order of getting accepted. However, the Romans usually destroyed the culture of its' enemy. There are also no important people which we know who have contributed somehow to Philosophy or Science as the Greek did.

Do you think the Romans have been the Barbarians? Have a look at this Video.

Never really thought about it. But being roman catholic and also of roman blood down the centuries, iv got huge respect for what was back then the roman empire.

The Roman empire was the most evil empire in history. From the Games to warfare and ethnic cleansing, the world would have been better off without them. We may even have have progressed alot further if they hadnt destroyed the great libraries of the ancient world.

There are alot of things the roman empire gave us though, which helped to develop the world. Im not saying all of it was right, because it wasnt. However i wont slag off my ancestors.

Also there was many evil empires down the years in this world, not just the roman empire. Not forgetting UK hasnt been all sweet and innocent down the years either.
