German culture is impacted by the Roman...
so it makes sense to understand it and identitfy with it to some extent. Having some insight on Latin for example makes you understand German better.
Isaiah Anderson
Same question to you Italians
Adam Thompson
Germans are mixed with them
Christian Jackson
Nicholas Morgan
But you take your obsession to a another level. I'd say you're even more obsessed with it than Italians. Really doesn't make sense. You had very little contact with it.
Not really.

>one of the main causes of it's downfall
were they really though?
It always seemed to me they just took advantage of a crumbling political system that was eating itself from the inside.
Gabriel Baker
rome had many enemies
as well as internal problems
you can put the blame only on the biggest, but the fact is everyone and everything contributed to it's fall

Because the Romans were the superpower for 1000 years. Who else are you going to obsess about? The Germanic tribes literally settled inside the Roman Empire and never looked back.

>Germans obsessed with the Roman Empire
We are?
Any examples?
Kevin Rogers
Brits aswell desu, but Rome is probably the empire that most has influenced western Europe so it's understandable
Isaiah Lopez

Also of course the holy roman empire, whichs romaness might be disputable but not its nolyness and empirenessness.
Logan Hill
But we arent.
Basically nationalism myth is that we were the babaric tribes that brought downfall to the roman empire.
Basically the person that managed to defeat large parts of the roman army and made the romans give up on the plan of turning territories east of the Donau/Rhein into provinces is seen as the father of the german nation.
Juan Gonzalez
They even invaded our Roman lands.
Thanks to them I have skin ill-suited for this weather.
Thanks I guess?
Kayden Peterson

I want to ask reparations to the heirs of the Romans, because they occupied my ancestral land, and forced the Italic tribes to be romanized.
Noah Rivera
The Visigoths and Suebi should pay reparations desu.
Julian Powell
They were so obsessed with romans they came up with the term "byzantine" to try and rob the real romans of their identity
Pretty damn pathetic tbqh
