rome was at its best when it was a republic that was tolerant of gayness, accepted many religions, and accepted people of different cultures so long as they obeyed the roman state

rome was a shithole rife with civil war and rampant decline when it was worried about borders, refused to admit the goths, persecuted gays and was christian

there isn't a single right wing friendly interpretation of rome that comprehends even the most rudimentary facts about the nation's existence.
