You know the testudo was a damn good idea when riot police still use it to this day

[@colminerojoshuab.8155]

First was the maniple system, next the marian reform, then we got the 3rd century crisis tactics, diocletian reforms, and lastly constantine's reform. Byzantine military innovations are for another time (cataphract strats too op).

I love how most of the reason Rome kept winning wars is because they were litteraly too stubborn to give up.

[@imgvillasrc1608]

And the only thing that did them over where the Romans themselves

[@fsdds1488]

In this sense the ottomans are real successors of Rome.

[@tominieminen66]

Also they had enough possible manpower to not give up, does not matter how stubborn you are if you don't have enough people to keep fighting

Roman was extremely powerful and considered the strongest Western power because of its flexibility which allowed them to adapt to any situation. This point alone was the thing that the Ancient Chinese empire needed the most to uphold their long-lasting dynasty. These two strongest in the East and West focus on two completely different ideas of warfare and society progress. Rigidity and Flexibility.

[@manooxi327]

The oversimplified effect 😂

[@brunokopte1347]

The willingness to use, and lose, tens of thousands more soldiers than their enemies (or hundreds of thousands, during the 1st Punic War). The logistics to craft and assemble their equipment, specially the chainmail, also helped a lot (I think Bret Devereaux is writing a book on that particular subject). There were other factors, but those were fundamental. Next question?

Romans had that energy when the boys get together with that organized can do attitude.

[@reapernissai6613]

You know, the city where I come from used to be called Remes in latin when under Roman governance. People have come up with the story that Remus somehow survived and founded the city in Northeastern Gaul, thus making it Rome's "sister". Today it's called Reims, and we still practice tortoise formation for protests mainly.

[@theicepickthatkilledtrotsk658]

This is how one city in the center of Italy conquered and reformed most of the known world.

[@Litany_of_Fury]

My favourite aspect of Roman history is the Fall of the Western Romans. More exactly how it's brightest flame was near the very end with Emperor Majorian! Betrayed by the devil himself, Ricimer. THis peroid was also among the last times the Eastern Empire deployed as much strength and resources to help the West.

[@Francio-fu5oj]

As an Italian, I feel PROUD of the Greek/Roman blood that runs through my veins, and at the same time I am SHAMEFUL of the state my country is in.

But you are not proud about the etrascans the first people in Italy you are only proud about the Greek inviders who sloughterd the Italians natives first people?

[@thenoblepoptart]

it’s not so bad. Rome itself is much better to live in today than it was in the ancient imperial or republican period. As far as something like political corruption goes, that has always been the case in italia…

[@jonbaxter2254]

[@handlymoilp8582]

Rome's strongest weapon is not a physical one but a spiritual one and that is called 'Rome doesn't surrender'. If life is giving you shit, you say "fuck you, I ain't hear no bell"

[@imgvillasrc1608]

Rome never surrendered even at the very end. It's corrupt politicians sold them out. Heck, the Roman Catholic Church were the ones who did their best to keep Roman society from getting totally purged from the barbarians. Then centuries after the fall of the Western Empire, it was revived again as the Holy Roman Empire. One could argue that it was not the Roman Empire of old, but that the fact that the descendants of the Gauls and Germans had so much nostalgia for Rome to the point that they recreated the old Rome in their way showes how influentially powerful Roman culture was. When your enemies start loving you so much that their children start following your footsteps rather than their ancestors, you know you achieved something incredible. Rome is not only a place, it's a culture.
