I would start an empire with me as emperor. I would make my army predominatly land based. I would strive constantly to make my empire bigger and as Julius Caesar said 'the best death is an unexpected one', I wouldnt care if i was assasinated just for the power that those sort of people had!!
THis is a very interesting subject because everyone says who the greatest general was, but not politician!!!!!!! My favourite is Julius Caesar, but thats probably a biased opinion on how good a general he was!!!
I disagree. Part of the cause of the fall was the split of the empire. Also a lot of the leaders were mad or power stupid. The normal hardworking roman can't have changed that much either
Modern Historians at the rate the Romans were inventing stuff they would have invented electricity in the next 100 years. Their is also evidence they were thinking of harnessing the power of lightning.
If you reply please put well thought out comments.
I would really like to hear from some historians.
