People famously asked, ‘What have the Romans ever done for us?’”

Hmmmmmm. I think I saw a movie about that once.

It was not illegal for civilians to own such weapons and to carry them for travelling because Roman provinces were plagued with banditry

Amazing! I did not know they had common-sense sword control back then.

"It was not illegal for civilians to own such weapons and to carry them for travelling..."

Why would it be illegal?
