Rome celebrates its 2777th anniversary. What’s left of Rome is a touristic destination & theatrics reminding of the glory of one of the greatest empires on Earth. Learn its history to understand how even the greatest empires crumble upon weak men one day.
@vtchakarova Wondering in what sense Rome was a great empire rather than just a large and powerful empire.
@vtchakarova I’m far less impressed with Rome after learning about the Greeks who preceded it. If it weren’t for them there’d be no Rome. Ironically, choosing the wrong Greek also led to their downfall. Explained more in this great book by @ArthurLHerman amazon.com/gp/product/B00…

@vtchakarova Rome is still there. After close to 3000 years that counts as a win in my book
