      Hasn't that already been bebunked twice now? The Roman empire comparison was an idea in a couple books YEARS ago. Then the idea got reignited in trump era, but it got debunked multiple times by now. It's fear-mongering that uses false information and narratives. Sometimes you have to come to terms one day that the far right is also as disgusting as the far left. Albeit, Ben is more center right than anything. Still, he perpetuates that very false Roman empire comparison.

In other words, for almost a century it was legalized, and then it become the official religion until it fell in 476 BC. Rome was a Christian empire (not to mention, indeed, FAR more moral than any other civilization up until the very end, when corruption finally took over much like in America today).

      you are an outlier. Most women don't think about the Roman Empire let alone even know what that is.

Thats not to sound sexist or anything it's just that women and men focus on different things both from a social and biological standpoint.

      😊A woman can easily be interested in Pop Culture, Beauty, & Fashion as well as Science, Technology, & more. 😘My blue collar dad & stay-at-home mom had diverse interests. Very curious about how things worked, other cultures, & art. Both of my parents valued beauty, excellence, & attention to detail. They were self-taught on a variety of subjects, & not into academics📚.
      Pop's (like myself) was an avid
      🗞reader 🧑‍💻 on a variety of topics. Plus, he loved documentary style programs📺. Like him, I consider myself a life long learner.

      OMG! ME TOO! Once I heard about their amazing concrete and how they have not been able to replicate it, I thought about it a lot! I read a recent study though and it looks like they may have figured it out! Cool as hell, concrete that self-repairs when it gets wet? 😳😳😳 Roman concrete cracks as frequently as modern concrete, but when it gets wet and excretes a bonding agent that repairs to crack and makes that part of the concrete even stronger than the rest! It's amazing and even more so that with only three dry ingredients plus water, combined with heat, and they still couldn't figure out how to replicate it for so long. 😂😂😂

      @@jomidiam The original name was the "Sacrum Imperium Romanum", which for one sacred has a different meaning to holy, but we got the name from german where they didn't have the distinction, the german "heiliges" (holy) meant the same as the latin "sacrum", in english there's a lot of french/latin influence so we did have the distinction between or germanic holy and our french/latin sacred. It was Sacred because it was proclaimed by the pope not because it was particularly divine or anything.
      Secondly it was an empire, whether you go by the definition of it being many states under one supreme rule (an emperor) or a country that rules over many cultures, which it did as the germans back then were no where near as unified culturally as they are today, plus it also had french and italian populations and czech, polish and other slavic populations.
      As for the "Roman" part, it was as roman as anywhere else that claimed to be Roman, because it wasn't about culture, the culture had long since been dead. No one could claim to be truly Roman, except for people still living in the city of Rome, but even then those people were nothing like the Romans from just a few hundred years back. They were claiming the idea of what it was to be Roman, just like the Greeks in Byzantium or the Ottoman Turks with the Sultanate of Rm (Rome)
