>muh roman empire
we live in a globalized empire with vastness and technology the romans couldn't even fathom and you STILL obssess over these caveman freaks from thousands of years ago

America isn't nearly as aesthetic as Rome was though despite adopting so much of its iconography.

Because they were the biggest leap in civilization in human history.
Yes, they are romanticized and were in reality brutal psychopats but their influence is so grand, it still permeates our own civilization in a way that hints that Rome's shadow shall be felt for yet more millenia to come.
The city of Rome at its peak would be the equivalent of a modern megacity with 2 billion people. Yes you read that right, 2 billion with a b.
Any man that loves civilization and has the raw human spirit within him, has no choice but to love and long for Roma.

someone finally said it
why is it cringe and weird and nerdy to obsess over Parthians, Sassanians, Kushans, but not romans? fuck you

On one hand I think it's better to try to be your own thing rather than try to copy Romans, but on the other it's hard to overstate how its influence endures

We used to be, but our aesthetic tastes have shat the bed thanks to everything being decided by shareholders, and politicians bought by them.
