Roman women were massive whores who had their own form of birth control.

well don't keep us in suspense, tell us what it was
was it butt stuff

Both of those people are fucking retards

>was it butt stuff
You're thinking Sparta

Nah it was an herb they ate to extinction. Shame, it'd be useful today.

I love how she just glosses that over, while simultaneously bringing up the iron poisoning of their water supply. I bet she's even on birth control.

>ate to extinction
that is nigger tier

Don't be mad the Jews earned an arch for their resistance.

Wasn't it a mix of corruption and all barbarians they raised from complete subhuman status chimping out and tearing everything down?

This kills the pagan.

Those retards don't know shit.
Rome collapsed because of rampant degeneracy just like our fate.

>2000 years
That's longer than any other time they got kicked out. Must have really pissed off God for him to send Jesus and Titus then make them inbreed in small communities that only existed because Kings could use Jews like any other livestock.

Toynbee killed a lot of trees for nuthin'

It's not that far off the mark. I'm not a class warrior or socialist by any means, but the social fabric disintegrates when a society's elite becomes too top-heavy and too distant from the common citizen. The parallels between Rome and Washington are quite visible. For a quantitative comparison, read pic related.

Rome fell because of shitskins and people invading their country. Never have I seen someone so retarded and off the mark

Why didn't the Germanics beat the Asians?

because germanics are inferior to sarmatian steppe superhumans

But that's not true. All the Roman Emperors had ruled as "Primus inter pares" (first among equals) for the first 250 years of the principate. An individual emperor might be more imperious than others but they saw themselves and gave credence to the union of army, bureaucratic state and senate.

All of that ended with Diocletian, who viewed himself as more of an absolute monarch and took "Primus inter pares" to stand only for "equals" among his fellow co-emperors in the tetrarchy. He hated Rome and told the senate to fuck off. He ended Italy's tax privileges entirely which crippled the senatorial class. He was the first emperor that ordered courtiers and citizens to address him from their knees, with their heads bowed (adoratio, a term coined for this practice which became custom.)

But if you think Diocletian was a symbol of Rome being "top-heavy," you're completely wrong. Rome had suffered something like 50 usurpers in the 50 years before his predecessor Aurelian. The Crisis of the Third Century resulted in Rome being drawn and quartered. It was Diocletian's "top heavy" rule that brought it back from complete destruction. There was no more autocratic leader more distant from the "common citizen" than Diocletian -- and yet he restored the Empire entirely in his lifetime and the foundations of his rule were the building block of another 1000 years rule of Rome in the Greek East.
