>>212850267 (OP)
why would you think that

yep.
it arrived.

I like having Spaniard blood because I get to use and abuse the title of Roman

>>212850449
Left its satanic

>>212850382
VGH we truly are the inheritors of Rome

>>212850382
Romans conquered those lands to control the meds, having more land doesn't make you a better empire.

>>212850267 (OP)
Grim.

>>212850672
I'm more surprised on how they managed to conquer mainland persia so easily

>>212850793
persia has always been easy to conquer. don't be fooled by the mountains.

>>212850822
Camel niggers literally destroyed the second biggest empire at the time
I know they were already beaten down by the romans but c'mon now

>>212850793
Both the Romans and Persians were exhausted by endless wars against each other

>>212850915
What happened to all the elephants that existed in the seleucid empire where the horse niggers from parthia forgot they existed? I bet they could've destroyed all the camels

>>212850267 (OP)
It actually is considering the logistics of the time and the population density of the regions.

>>212850899
>the second biggest empire at the time
believe that was China.

>>212851138
China was not that big

>>212851181
not in geographical size but population and cultural output wise.

>>212851015
Elephants in war were very unpredictable and clumsy. They can make one big charge and then they just hang out and do their own thing for the rest of the battle. The elephants often get scared and charge their own men or run away. Several times the Mongols (and later the Mughals) used camels with flames on its back to scare the elephants and crush the Indians in battle.

Elephants also require a ton of feed and maintenance at all time. There's a reason why elephants were not widely used in war.

>>212850672
>a fuck ton of desert wastelands + plus Persia and the most vulnerable parts of Rome after both spent hundreds of years wearing each other down
Muslims just showed up at the right place at the right time, then they spent 1000 years trying and failling to take over the rest of what was left of Rome

now post all the lands europe conquered and still inhabits

How did hannibal crossed the alps with 50 of those? It cant be that hard

Also scarying elephants was a tactic used later in history ancient times they didnt know that,romans used auxiliaries to distract the beast for example
I bet mohammed and friends would be clueless on how to deal with them

>>212850672
Yeah, but the Umayyad empire collapsed faster after the dynasty lost power

>>212851348
Hannibal good fucked over by his own elephants at Zama.

>>212850672
moors couldn't even take over basque bvlls, the desert was their only chance

>>212851348
>How did hannibal crossed the alps with 50 of those?
He didn't, most of them died except one.

>>212851493
Also the Romans figured out the brilliant 200iq tactic of forming large gaps to allow the charging elephants to run past them. In other words, they just moved out of the way.

>>212850387
>crumbles after genghis dies

>>212851778
The big empire, yeah, but the individual breakaway khanates were extremely powerful for much longer

>>212850582
as if rome wasn't polytheistic until 100 years before falling

>>212852366
Rome was monetheistic for 1000 years before falling.

>>212850267 (OP)
it is
