I don't whine about that, and by no means idealize the roman republic, as I said, republic was already spinning in the graves stage.
I think Romans were aware where things going, with Juvenal, tho later, satirizing it.
And it ended predicably - globalizing imperialistic power pushing globabrahomo unto European culture and politics.
You win your empire but lose the ethnic and cultural soul of your people.
