I always laugh hen some homosexual story comes up and everyone says, ah, just like Rome.

If you have the cite Nero and Tiberius, you might as well throw in Caligua and Claudius’s wife.

In fact the empire lived on centuries after the most decadent and was in fact predominantly Christian.

The empire was split up and power began to gravitate east and north.

The article cites fast growth, but the empire gee fast centuries before the fall.

Ask your self how could a city be the heart of such a fast empire.

How long could it last paying others to be their army.

Too big to keep sustaining control over such a vast area.

Ask your self how could a city be the heart of such a fast empire for such a long time. Amazing accomplishment.

How long could it last paying others to be their army in the provinces.

Too big to keep sustaining control over such a vast area.
