Dey wuz kangs

nothing. Rome was special, Romans were just people like everyone else that happened to live and grow up in special circumstances. In fact as the empire grew the average guy probably became a lot like we are now: disconnected, bored, irrelevant, small part of a big picture.
Theres nothing inherent to the individual roman that is so special, its the sum of the whole.

hibernian genes
seriously, not memeing
read 'the birth of antiquity' by seamus o'neill

They had unprecedented technological and military and an economy to back it up. Basically they were proto-AngloJudeoAmericans.

Took them two thousand years to take their modern form but it's pretty worth while.

in reality humanity evolved out of Ireland. Irish migration was especially high to Carthage, rome, Athens and Egypt, so all these civilisations were irish

They won hegemony over the mederterranian, and left enough intact relics and ideas behind which inspired later civilizations to strive for greatness

>so all these civilisations were irish
WE

Are you saying all genetically modern Europeans/Mediterraneans evolved in Ireland?

WUZ

Fantastic access to what was historical the trading centre of the world (the med), which also meant they had advanced neighbours to compete with (whom they could also take inspiration from). This left them with quite an advantage once they crossed the Alps, no truly great civilisation had tapped the goldmine that is Europe
Basically high risk and high reward.
They would either bulldoze everyone in their wake, or they would be crushed under the boot of whoever else managed to come out on top

Nice one brah

They were just as aggressive, on a societal and personal level, as any stereotypical barbarian while still being well organized and often better armed than the people they were fighting. That, and they could afford to replace armies, something the hellenic powers couldn't really do.

I found no such book in existence
