whats the closest movie we have that shows the glory of the roman empire and why it was superior than everything else that came after?
a movie that ends on a positive note and some some contrived boring war movie saying rome was le bad

Kubrick's Spartacus shows it as pretty much the peak of pre-Christian civilization, albeit bogged down by politics.
While Crassus is the villain, his understanding and appreciation of the empire is expressed rather beautifully and genuinely.
