Actually, I’d be a lot happier if we brought back something else from Rome - the goal of utterly defeating our enemies, and salting the Earth when we do it. You’d have lots less wars if we did that a couple of times. Oh, and the salting process can be speeded up quite a bit by substituting uranium salts for common table salt.

We wouldn’t even have to go back 2000 years to adopt the ancient Romans’ war tactics.
We only need to go back less than 150 years and adopt Sherman’s tactics as he marched to Atlanta.
