Yikes ๐ I wonder if they really paid attention to all the slavery, patriarchy, oligarchy, incest (the whole, you're not related unless it's on your father's side thing), genocide, etc lol
I find it interesting because there is a lot about Roman society that's more recognisable today than in the middle ages, the politics is exciting, and yeah, the organisation of the military is also fascinating.
But I'm glad to not have yet met anyone who actually admires the Roman Empire. They were barbaric and cruel, often by ancient standards.
haha, they definitely gloss over the child brides and slavery.
It's like " yeah but that was like a long time ago", and then in the same breath " The thing that proves their civilization's superiority is the way they mixed their cement, look at these arches!"
I'm always on edge waiting for someone enthralled by the roman civilization to eventually lean in and explain "you know, it used to be really normal to marry 13-year-olds. biologically...."
