There are certainly good things that are the legacy of Rome, but, all in all, the Roman Empire was one of mankind's most dubious achievements, and Julius Caesar was its father.

Dubius...NO WAY!!! One of the greatest achievements!! Sure, because of the inferior method of obtaining leaders through succession, the Empire did some bad things - but all in all it was the vehicle of progress and prosperity for hundreds of years.
