And like a true American he was a literal duck married to a shitskin.

Yeah, just like Rome, the US is just a copy of another country (Greece/Britain) that never really found its stride, and remains forever in its shadow. Also

What was Cicero's problem?

Not his fault Marc Antony was a hothead

Rome was Rome, Britain was Constantinople, and USA is Russia, The Third Rome

Few years with the gypos and he figures it out.

Byzantium was just a shitty, more impoverished, less dominant, more unstable and unfortunately more Greek version of the worst periods of the Roman Empire
only difference is the truly shitty Emperors didn't have the funds to go full caligula and were restrained by religion so they contented themselves with eye gauging and losing to Turks and Normans and Slavs and Goths and Hungarians and Arabs

I'm an Englishman living in England. Cope harder, mutt

E"""R"""E is about as R as the HRE was
faggots didn't even speak latin

How was it not Roman?
>split Empire administratively
>years go by
>Western half falls
>Eastern half magically becomes a different empire for some reason
Arbitrarily deciding to call it Byzantium is one of the most baffling decisions of modern historians

The U.S. is very similar to Rome, but definitely evolved. You have Patrician families descended from old wealth who hold all the actual power and everyone else are Plebs and slaves. The difference is the Patrician class can make those who have achieved sufficient wealth into Patricians. So it's like Rome with a little more theoretical fluidity of status (in practice the rules are set up to keep Patricians as Patricians, Plebs as Plebs, and Slaves as Slaves) and all the labels of the hierarchy are mostly concealed.

>it’s another burgers think they are civilization thread

>You have Patrician families descended from old wealth who hold all the actual power and everyone else are Plebs and slaves
Ah yes, the prestigious Bezos and Zuckerberg families, they can trace their lineage back to the founding of the Republic, with multiple presidents and senators.

The American industrial revolution was literally started thanks to an English immigrants (Samuel Slater) stealing British technology and bringing it to the US.

I wonder if it has something to do with looking down on Orthodox Christianity.

wait till you see the kinky shit Augustus was into, he was just like any American president

TRUE ROMAN BREAD
FOR TRUE ROMANS

Your WASP patricians are extinct, dipshit. George Bush was the last WASP American president, it's all gonna be Italian-Jewish-Hispanics from now on

lol you brits always have an excuse for why you're the greatest. protip: no one gives a shit. ford /thread

Kek

>you brits always have an excuse for why you're the greatest.
Not even British, but I gotta step in when an American says someone else "always makes an excuse for why you're the greatest"

Hahahahahahahahaha

>he was a literal duck

>baffling
No it isn't, it's quite obvious why it's contentious, some people just like the idea of the "Romans" stretching all the way up to recent history

Heraclius adopted Greek as the official language of all law and jurisprudence in the late 6th century, so nearly 1000 whole years of that before the fall of Constantinople
Besides you have your Empire populated entirely by a people who clung stubbornly to their culture and even spread it among the Romans when the Empire was whole and they were under its thumb, the old conservative Roman Romans like Cato detested Greeks and would've found it amusing or in Cato's case highly depressing to have known about a state centuries down the line completely run and operated by Greeks with Greek culture and customs calling itself a Roman Empire.

We are the ONLY civilization that matters. In 200 years people's only interpretation of our modern era will be American. Nobody cares about any other country, were the only game in town, currently. You really think Croatia, El Salvador or France or Germany will be in the history books about this era? Were the worlds ONLY superpower. We are EVERYTHING.

How many full texts were written about the Dacians, Boii or Sarmatians in ancient days. We are the stars of this period of history, and all your butthurt wont change that.

no one in america thinks we're the greatest. the jews have done away with that kind of thinking 30 years ago. you think we think that way because you spend way too much time on Yea Forums (an american site by the way, don't forget it)

>Be Roman
>Get stabbed during political turmoil

>an american site
japanese.

America isn't like Rome and Rome isn't like America. Any comparisons people care to mention have no substance.

rome was a superpower for 1500 years

US will be lucky if they're still a superpower in 2045

with that line of thinking, the entire internet is american. we invented it. don't forget it

>SEETHING

Anyone in the US who steps foot in a college becomes as demoralized as your average European. We'll be like them pretty soon

anything would fit if you bend it enough

>he says as he speaks English, the language we brought to the globe through our media

Our high schools are about as bad as our colleges. Nothing but holocaust in english class, slavery and muh indians in history.

no. you didn't

This. We started as a backwater colony as did Rome with the Etruscans. We fought our civil wars and had wise statesmen and politicians who led our country to supreme dominance of the known world through divide et impera

As he dies in America. Hah.

They truly were

And why does changing the language matter? Obviously it picked up more Greek influences as time went on, but that didn't change its status as a continuation of the Roman Empire. If cultural changes are a basis for suddenly changing the name of an empire, then there are a lot of name changes that need to be made

Dont argue with them. Whatever logic and proof you provide they will always be blinded by their eternal butthurt lol. Just let them have their illusions.

i never said the US isn't a superpower

> learning is gay

Vorenus thought so, he shit on greeks constantly

>universities are (religious) institutions of pure learning with no bias or agenda
lmao

>And why does changing the language matter?
Becuase the Romans were a Latin people who spoke Latin. Greeks had an established 'sphere of influence' in the territories ruled by Byzantium since Alexander's conquests, the drift in to a Greek Empire was more of a reinstatement than a usurpation, it was always going to be a Greek Empire if it persisted as an entity when the irreparable Theodosian split of the Empire happend and the division of Diocletian and the Tetrarchy. The Roman Empire's tearing asunder was obviously always inevtiable from the moment of its inception, the ceasing of the "Roman" part of the title being applicable was a gradual process that the only argument over should be where it finally forever more stopped being Roman: was it when capricious barrack Emperors from Illyria or Arab Emperors or Greek Emperors took over? when Christianty was introduced by one of the former? when Greek became the official language? when the Western Empire fell?

muh continuance is no real reason to call it Roman, it's just a reason to call it an Empire

You are literally someone who believes college is indoctrinated people with CULTURAL MARXISM and that the neoliberal shits that inhabit them are communists. Incredibly retarded.

cicero just killed that man

I left college galvanized and militarized, it wasn't any professor who made me hate the gub'mint it was "journalists". See, you're taught to always question authority, right? Well, when you start to question the "wrong" authorities, journalists mostly, they blast you and call you names. Now you have faggots actually citing fucking snopes as a credible source and all sorts of crackpot "news articles" that are nothing but opinion pieces.

Journalists are the lowest of the low. I have more professional respect for a streetwalking prostitute sucking AIDS dicks for beer money.

>restrained by religion so they contented themselves with eye gauging
sounds kino as fuck actually

السَّلَامُ

>Now you have faggots actually citing fucking snopes
fuck you snopes is legitimate and fair it WAS NOT a sperm on obama's head IT WAS NOT A SPERM you fucking incel stop laughing its NOT A SPERM

the language we (the English) brought to the globe through fucking conquering it. retard.

I have no fucking idea what on earth you're talking about you non-intellectual functioning velcro-using subhuman niggerman.

Poor Scott Adkins has to be in this propaganda trash. Give my boy some mainstream success already.

America is actually exactly like Rome, it's even copying the same reasons that led to the collapse of Rome.
