What the Romans did for us Invasion PART 1

When the Roman army invaded Britain in force in the spring of AD 43, they brought with them technology that must have astonished the native Celts. To begin with the Roman weapons were far better - they had good swords, spears, and several machines to throw missiles.

alexander made macedon a great empire, but he didnt made or train a strong leader like himself. So it crumbled just as fast he conquered minor asia

[TitusLabienus]

That's is what I'm saying.

[Killare2]

macedonians also had a proffesional army

[TitusLabienus]

Well, many ancient nations had proffesional armies, but that doesn't mean that they will become an Empire such as Rome.

If I had a choice do lead any army in History of mankind (4000 BC-1600 AD)...ROMANS WOULD BE IT!

It's good the Romans conquered these savages and cannibals.

[jamiepapalardi]

What the roman did was, they steal everything you've got, including your underwear. Thats what they're good at.

@stephanosmixail read my comment CAREFULLY (especially the part with "any army), and then reflect upon your response

[KenCaesarXL]

@stephanosmixail I totally agree with that : ) Most cities in greece didn't have a year round army though either, it was based on recruitment when needed. Sparta being the exception to that rule.

I totally agree with the infighting, Greece was split and weak, and studies of battles in Spartan history show the decline of their male population over the years, less and less men able to fight in battle until they became virtually non-existant. I think Sparta though allied with Rome

@jokerisnomak romans did not exist in 4000bc.....they were a small village until the 4th century bc!!

[stephanosmixail]

@KenCaesarXL history says that the constant battles of greeks between them made them really weak with very few seasoned troopes.Pyrhos the mollosian defeated the romans twice but had to abandone the campaign to protect the greek cities of southern italy due to fighting in mainland greece.Also hellenic people of the hellenistic years had been heavilly influenced by the persians which made them less tough and laconic

@pcortes1987 firstly macedonia is greece...........secondary bloodlines do not change once a barbarian forever a barbarian!!

@Miauriceful "Ancient Roman architecture ADOPTED certain aspects of Ancient Greek architecture, creating a new architectural style" From your own god damn source???

[Miauriceful]

@FcK2420

Read Ancient_Roman_architecture on wikipedia

[FcK2420]

@Miauriceful Are you kidding me???

Look at the pantheon and tell me it isnt inspired by greek architecture!

[proud2becanadian1996]

it's ironic southern europe saw northern europe as uncivilised and controlled it now we the nordic people in 2011 see southern europe as unable 2 rule itself and therefore are controlling it. The romans wanted money and now we want are money back!!!!!
