They also preserved Christianity more than any other culture. That could be really good for some people but bad for some other.
the romans really did create civilization tho. They were the first reasonable imperial power. Pretty hands off.

>It's a"Someone actually watched this" thread
The thought of "Romans being the bad guy" is actually very Roman.
They were one of the first self-aware civilizations. They allowed anti-Roman literature like the Bible (i.e. a caricature on Pilate) to be well circulated within the kingdom.
It reminds me of America and how we allow anti-Americanism in our discourse.
