1000 years of existence and not a single technological or scientific achievement

>concrete which is actually harder and more durable than modernconrete
>not impressive

Nope, they didn't, Egyptians did that long before them.
What the Romans did was conquering Egypt, and mine the natron sources on Wadi Natron big scale, which was a perfect agent for glass making. Also, they where able to make things like this, which shows their high art in glass making.

We rediscovered their technological achievements, as well as their degeneracy (sports obsession, handouts and sexual deviancy). Interesting.

>romans were degenrate
they literally coined the word you idiot

>a cup
how glorious

lmao

and concrete wasn't rediscovered til when again?

what about the widespread increase in iron quality and the invention of protofactories?

What about the first use of a central heating system?

IT'S NOT THE CUP IT'S THE WAY THEY MADE THE GLASS OF THE CUP YOU FUCKING DOPEY RETARD

>a cup

>sports obsession
What's the world cup?
>sexual deviancy
What's rule 34?

Technological and scientific advancement in the ancient and medieval world was significantly slower than today. Rome seems pretty standard for the time. It was only with the Scientific Revolution, that the quick pace of technological advancement become common. And even then, it started slowly, and then exponentially increased.

The ancient world lacked a lot of the basic instruments that we take for granted, and they did not believe as much in terms of direct scientific observation. So even a lot of the hyped up Greek science and philosophy is just armchair thinking. People didn't think they needed to add much else to this speculation.

Phoenicians invented glass blowing.

The hypocaust was a uniquely Roman invention.

...

>Geeh they have buildings which have 2000 years old and will outlast shitty constructions we do today
>Nothing relevant

>not a single technological or scientific achievement
what do you mean?

I didn't say they invented glass making, glassblowing is a specific technique for making glass.

No, Romans did, the earliest evidence of the technique is in Roman Syria.

If Phoenicians make something, the Phoenicians invented it. The fact they were in the Roman Empire helped the spread if it.

so they had a reason to coin the word in the first place, good job proving his point

>make up an insult
>they were obviously talking about themselves
the romans would claim that their enemy's gods would side with them in war because of how pious they were, as opposed to their enemies degeneracy (like being a tribal)

>phonecians in rome weren't romans

Why is leftypol so constantly butthurt about people pointing out the inferiority of African civilizations? We get it, you like black cock and hate white people. Still, there's no need to spam Veeky Forums with passive-aggressive false equivalency threads.

You're right, just like when the Persians occupied Phoenicia all Phoenician magically changed into Persians.

It's not "magic", it's called "assimilation".

they constructed the basis for right and your capitalism, they invented the first infantry cuirass, the aqueducts, they made that giant ass colosseum and a lot of shit that I don't want to put in here, and if this was a b8 or anything like that because you mofos seem to always take Rome as a meme. I don't care.

Assimilation takes centuries, not a few years.

>he types unironically as /pol/acks SPAM threads with passive-aggressive false equivalancy threads
You're both scum

>they constructed the basis for right and your capitalism

They did neither of those things and drawing a tenous link between some pseuo proto-form of our modern understanding and practices of those models do not mean they 'invented' them. It is historically dishonest.

>the aqueducts, they made that giant ass colosseum

Engineering works but not the greatest that have been, The great pyramids of Egypt built thousands of years before the Romans are far more impressive on both an engineering and technological level.

>They did neither of those things
Well, from what I know they did build the main bases for modern right with the principles of Ulpiano: "Honeste vivere, alterum non laedere, suum cuique tribuere" (they even had their own rights and a different kind for foreingers)

>capitalism
They basically did, since the main thing that romans cared about was property and wealth and if you didn't have nothing you were nothing

>not the greatest that have been
That's true but remember, those were very old times and they served a purpose for the community instead of just a giant tomb (well that's what I say since I don't know much about egypt)

>Roman is an ethnicity

That's not nanoengineering you retard, if you use that standard then painting your room white is also nanoengineering because there titanium dioxide nanoparticles in your paint.

Define ethnicity.

>a :of or relating to large groups of people classed according to common racial, national, tribal, religious, linguistic, or cultural origin or background ethnic minorities ethnic enclaves

Spoiler warning, Roman citizenship was handed out to every corner of the empire, regardless of their cultural background. Furthermore, OP's whining was about how the Roman Empire never produced any innovations, when glassblowing came directly from them, whereas Syrians had no other nation-state at the time. The Roman Empire produced glassblowing. Sorry friend.

>tribal
all memes aside, what you say its true, some dude had that brilliant idea "more citizens means more income"

>the great pyramids
HURR DURR STACK A BUNCH OF ROCKS UP AND UP AND UP HOOWEE WE ARE BIG ACHIEVERS.

>Lycurgus cup is
A FUCKING CUP

>when you dont know about pipes

But they did

>cellphones are no a technology because you still just use your voice through them
t. you

Then their empire collapsed because their own citizens had massive amounts if infighting due to cultural tensions.
>Be Latin woman
>Great fugged by superior German cock
How dis make u feel, son of Rome?

christians are filth. Germans are perfect for those christian whores. Their very presence defiles that empire.

The germans who invaded Rome were Arian Christians you dip

>no replies to this
OP btfo?

let the filth mingle with mold, I only see abominations

>Arian

Middle-ages are you even trying? The believe that the water mill was invented in middle-ages is not even true.

Further the idea that middle-ages had superior metallurgy is also false.

The middle-ages was a post-apocalyptic setting.

After the fall of western Roman empire copper mining was only revived during the 18th century
