Why didn't Rome just fucking build a bunch of ships and sail to America? Were they scared of water ?

Why didn't Rome just fucking build a bunch of ships and sail to America? Were they scared of water ?

They feared the American warrior.

Probably didn't even know it existed lol

One more reason why Jesus is smarter than romans and Greeks

They feared the atlantic warrior

They didn't have compasses

Better question, why didn't the Romans just massacre every German they came across? It seems better to have an empty territory to move settlers into than constant insurrections

I assume you retards have never taken a boat.

Do you have the slightest idea of how actually BIG the sea is?
Do you think ancient fucking retards who couldn't even read could do such a travel?

It would take years perhaps even decades to go from Italy to America and the ship could break at any time and in that case, woops, you're dead.

Even if they knew about the continent no body in their right times would have gone there risking so much.

Ancient fuckers couldn't read, get this through your head, their intelligence level was so fucking low that they couldn't read, perform an action as simple as reading, how the fuck do you think that they could travel the fucking open (not coastal) the OPEN sea with a fucking shitty wooden boat, oh yeah this is the dark ages, no telescope, no nothing, only sea for hundreds of miles, only fucking sea, even in modern times you need experts on the ships to sail through the sea hence why the airplane was invented and we use it instead of ships.

Going through the sea requires deep knowledge of mathematics, physics, geometry, something ancient people did NOT fucking have before the renaissance/age of discovery

>this fucking thread again

>It would take years perhaps even decades to go from Italy to America
What the actual fuck. This is trolling right? Italy to America is a month worth of sea travel on a fucking galley.

I mean we literally got a Stanford project dedicated to reconstructing travel times in ancient Phoenicia (look Altinum to Paphos), I doubt shit got any slower a thousand years later.

>Rome
>ever controlling that much of Mesopotamia even at its height
Italian spotted.

...

Came here to post this. Only worthy response to this shitty meme thread.

Rome was not aware of a landmass such as America west of Europe.
In they probably weren't even aware of the Chinese sea and Japan, which is thevreadon columbus even sailed west. The Romans were only vaguely aware of Chinese civilization via the Silk Road, unlike late medieval European explorers.

Get out newfag

It's a map of all the modern countries whose parts constituted Rome. Rome never held that much of North Africa either.

hello newfag

Difficult to kill millions of people without automatic weapons and modern modes of mass transportation.

>taking this thread seriously
ISHYDADT

The Gallic wars are supposed to have ended with about one million gauls dead and one million enslaved.
More recently, Africans have demonstrated the effectiveness of machetes for ethnic cleansing.

Didn't you hear about the Roman amphorae found in the bay of Rio de Janeiro ?

Yeah man, this fucking retards couldn't even get to Sardinia and dumbfucks like OP wonder why they never reached America.

Naval technological development in Rome remained stagnant after the war against Cartage. They had no motivation or technology to do such travels. They did though have naval expeditions all the way to Scandinavia, but it was only to obtain new mercenaries and allies.

>millions

Posting this copypasta should be a bannable offense.

Why have millions of bodies when you can have millions of slaves?

That can rebel at any moment, you are so smart, lad

...

Polynesians?

It's those old copypastas that really illustrate just how many newfags there are these days.

Neptune told them not to because he was protecting the Native Americans from disease genocide.

>are supposed to have ended with about one million gauls dead

The Mediterranean was supposedly a "Roman lake".

There's a reason there were scary myths about the Atlantic. The ships couldn't withstand the waves

I was really hoping this was that copypasta about Sardinia only being discovered in the 13th century.

Lol

Do you think a maniple of 5ft manbabies could stand information at the sight of Jacksons boys rushin' through the thicket, whoopin', 'n hollerin' like banshees?

Roman "ships" wouldnt have held up to even the fish migrating up the potomac

>romans couldn't dominate the world through a global economic network

lol what a bunch of losers

Rome was very scared of the water, after all their empire collapsed because the hot water from all their bathing fried their testicles and resulted in lower fertility

>yfw Caligula declared war on Neptune

Was he right all along?

Veneti had great sailing ships of oak that could traverse Atlantic storms. Hard to tell how much the Romans adapted their technology after Ceasar's conquest however. The triremes were likely not enough to maintain trade links across the Channel, however.

Why didnt they just invade the ocean? Theyd just have to build a dyke at spain and morocco and pump all of the water out

>Why didn't Rome just fucking build a bunch of ships and sail to America? Were they scared of water ?
They were waiting for Caesar that was promised, breaker of chains.

Nigga they did

The only evidence I could see as valid are the mines in Canada, but even could be done for anyone, including the natives.

It's very calm, yes.

They (really) feared the German warrior, much tougher then the celts they fought
