I mean, if you’re going to disregard the contributions of Viking culture because they were notorious for their pillaging, it’s only fair to disregard Rome, whose entire economy was based on systematized pillaging.

Both cultures have contributions, but the wholesale massacre of other civilizations gets a pass when we discuss Rome for some reason.
