Reminder they only took him out because he was going to launch a Barbarossa style campaign of sheer rage against the East which probably would have destroyed Rome

Barbarossa was a pre-emptive invasion of the USSR by Hitler because he realized that Japan was getting ready to attack the US and would no longer be putting pressure on the Russias Eastern Flank

Why? Nobody in the world had the capability to destroy Rome even if they could defeat them.

>would have destroyed Rome
Uh how? I agree he would've probably gotten rekt and it would have been a huge disaster. But Parthia never even got close to destroying Rome.

What do you mean?

>>17991754
How exactly does Caesar being defeated mean that the Roman state would be destroyed? They were still capable of conscripting hundreds of thousands of men who could be lead by skilled commanders and over 3000 kilometers of land between them and Rome.

>>17991760
Ok, I thought you meant that nobody could destroy Rome period.

Hannibal was close, right?
