    The Roman Empire helped develop modern society, on most of the malicious levels mainly based on high-staked greed. It's rulers were nothing new, there were tyrants since the beginning of human socialization, Although these tyrants had a wide disposal of assets. Also the Roman Empire was the main reason Christianity became a powerful entity, which later would develop the Holy Roman Empire. Thus the Christian messiah, Jesus wouldn't have been crucified. What would the world be like without Christianity? Now that's a good question. Would no one have morals and all our ancestors just kill each other endlessly, with not remorse? or would science have developed at an extremely rapid pace in which we would have already colonized other planets, or at least our own moon already. Or would we all be Jewish? No one knows.

    Roman empire ruled an unthinkable size of territory for a long time in history. I think such achievements are not to be laughed at.
