Were the ancient Romans fundamentally a shit people?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 4th, 2012 4:53 PM Author: vivacious gaming laptop stage The Roman armies conquered large territories, sure, but Romans themselves were not terribly productive. They had some productive colonies/provinces but Romans themselves didn't produce much or export much. They were organized, to be sure, but weren't they fundamentally just glorified goombahs who leached off their colonial subjects and eventually got their shit pushed in by hulking germanic types?

Date: May 4th, 2012 5:17 PM Author: crusty shrine associate Rome itself was not shitty and poor. The colonies in Western Europe were not technologically or agriculturally advanced prior to being colonized, so they were less valuable, but it's not Rome's fault they were backward. If anything their crime was taking too many colonies in the West that weren't really worth it to them in terms of what they could produce.

Their colonies probably produced more food or whatever, but the Romans were responsible for the technological advances of the day. Also, there were emperors like Tiberius who brought in socialistic reforms favoring the poor, even circumventing the senate to do so.
