and yet 40 years after that war ended we're still talking about the US being the biggest empire.

also I didn't type that last post out as some back and forth Murica pride bullshit, I typed it out because you guys were comparing a bunch of people in togas with swords and spears that had to walk for months to the battlefield to the most technologically advanced, most equipped military in Earth's history who also happens to have strategic alliances with all of the other "civilized" super powers of the world.

Rome didn't have the UK, Australia, Japan, Canada, Germany, New Zealand etc. willing to also send Brigades of troops to fight along side them in conflict and to back their play with every major political and economical issue in the world.

Rome was still the longest empire, and we've only been considered an empire for 50. That was my point. We wont live long enough to know if the US crumples or not. Whatever we say is speculation obviously.

Roman warfare and technology was far advanced in classical antiquity, all soldiers were engineers and were able to build shit they needed in a short time. The Republic, then later, Empire, was held together by alliances, the use of Auxillaries and client states.

Pretty much usa now

You're talking about 2000 year old technology and client states that were continuously conquered over and over by various "empires" throughout time. How does that compared to air craft carriers, fighter jets, nuclear weapons, and alliances with world super powers?

A roman client state couldn't send thousands of troops on air planes to Afghanistan in less than a day to support them like what the US has with the UK or Australia etc.

Entire Roman units would get wiped out by disease and lack of supplies with too far of a walk to get resupplied. Meanwhile I was walking up the side of a mountain in the middle of nowhere in Afghanistan drinking Gatorade and Red Bull.

If you don't see the difference between old "empires" and the way societies are formed in 2015 I don't know what else to tell you.
