Why was roman culture so superior to others?

How were the Romans able to stand above every other civilization?
The only thing that truly defeated Rome was Rome itself.

Efficiency, discipline, superior technology, superior military tactics and organization, charismatic civil culture, tolerance for other religions as long as they didn't create too much trouble.

Nice

There's something naturally awesome and cool about the Romans.
Shame that Empire got destroyed, makes me wonder how the world would look like.

Mussolini had a good idea on how to bring the Roman Empire back on the map, but the germans stole the entire idea, twisted it in their own jewish image and fucked it all up.
For shame.
A fascist, badass Italy fucking niggers up in the mediterenean would be a sight to behold.

Mussolini’s incompetence and short sightedness was evidenced by his attack on Greece.

Rome is captivating because it represents order in chaos; the achievement of man and his capabilities. Rightful and absolute domination

His attack on Greece happened only because shitler chimped out.
Mussolini said time and time again he's not ready for the war, but shitler just had to chimp out ASAP.

nota bene, greeks in WW2 kicked a lot of ass, respect.

Mussolini's idea of bringing back Rome was to piggyback on Germany and try too retake the land with outdated military, poor industrial base and a useless officer corps?

Hitler had to attack when he did, He had time constraints. Mussolini's attack on Greece delayed Barbarossa. Mussolini was the one chimping out.

Proto fascism

because the wrote history books

>makes me wonder how the world would look like.
it would look like the usa/england minus their monarchy cuck shit

The German troops deployed in Greece were never meant for Barbarossa and through Romania it could be assumed that Greece could never pose any real danger except defending itself. As much as I would like to believe it we did not delay the Russian invasion.

In another note the only thing that saved the USSR was the lend lease and the rains

it wasn't

>Mussolini's idea of bringing back Rome was to piggyback on Germany and try too retake the land with outdated military, poor industrial base and a useless officer corps?

please, read in pre-ww2 history a little bit more.
Mussolini didnt want, and wasnt prepared for a war in 1939, and even in 1940, he told shitler that numerous times, over and over again.

>He had time constraints.

They built roads. Roads made it easier to travel in their growing empire and expand outward far more quickly

Romans lost plenty of battles

I’m just going by logic, why would there be a delay? Troops were not busy and geography was in their favor, with Egypt being under occupation to blockade the eastern med

Hitler’s Chief of Staff, Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel admitted during the Nuremberg Trials:

“…the unbelievably strong resistance of the Greeks delayed by two or more vital months the German attack against Russia; if we did not have this long delay, the outcome of the war would have been different in the Eastern Front and the war in general.”

I’ll ask again: Why?

Be polite

Sure, but they learned form every loss. Legionaries would use different arms and tactics based on where they were and whom they faced. The ability to adapt is mans greatest skills and something the romans mastered.
Their war machine was incredibly impressive for its time.

The Romans over threw their king early on in their history and developed a patrician political society where the top men competed for the top job, Consul, and where talented men could become patricians (think Marius and Cicero).

The reason why this is important is that other forms of government have an enforcement cost that is self-damaging.

For example, in imperial Rome, rivals were murdered. No rivals = no competition.

the man with hitler in the picture is homosexual ernst rohm

It wasn't, they merely traded military service in exchange for monetary tribute from conquered neighbors. All they could do was throw human waves at people, 80,000 dead "romans" at Cannae and they just kept sending in more.

Diversity was literally their strength

I was referring as to the name of the the Chief of Staff, instead of just leaving it as "Chief of Staff" in other words
>inb4 "muh Chief of Staff"

Discipline and not just in warfare. Other qualities are debatable.

>saved the USSR was the lend lease
meme

Hitler was a jewish plant, duh.

Every history thread, us flags show their blatant ignorance

Because it was highly masculine, virile, patriarchal, disciplined and devout (pietas).

This is part of an essay i wrote on the Roman virtues:

>First, it is worthwhile to note that the root of the modern word “virtue” is found in the latin virtus. But what virtue has come to signify in the modern sense (namely, a quality that demonstrates high worth), was quite different to the original meaning of virtus. You could perhaps say that virtus was a type of virtue in the Roman world, one that distinguished a man; it meant courage and spiritual virility, the firmness and valour needed to conduct affairs of State, or raise a family; it was related to “vir”, which was a word that expressed the concept of manhood—a kind of ideal of what a man was meant to be—rather than a mere biological designation. Thus one can see that the modern conception of virtue, which has been excessively feminised since the time of Rome (largely by Christianity), has become almost completely inverted in its meaning—assertiveness has been substituted for passivity.

Marius was a pleb who helped destroy Rome. Cicero was an effete and cowardly faggot who died the the shameful and ignoble death he deserved. Rome was better when a uncouth ruffian like Marius couldn't get to be 5x consul (Marius reformed the army in a way that doomed Republican Rome btw).

better than snow people living like niggers

you literally have family guy shit taste humor you belong in a middle school

Romans had it pretty easy. Everyone else around them was so retarded simple things like laws and roads produced a quantum leap in technology. Sort of like the US in the last century.

Only someone with zero understanding about antiquity would write something retarded like that

>Rome was better when a uncouth ruffian like Marius couldn't get to be 5x consul
While this is true, Marius also saved Rome from being sacked and perhaps snuffed out entirely. Extraordinary times called for extraordinary measures, and Marius rose to the occasion to annihilate the invading Germanic hordes.

They didnt rely on a single strongman every once in a while to accomplish things, but they had a large upper class (there were dozens of Patrician clans, and even more families), from which a large number of men were educated and able to lead their Nation. When a senator got too old, he typically wouldnt be elected consul anymore. If their current leader suddenly died, a new one was ready to take the power without having to have a time span with a void of power. That was what saved Rome from an early demise multiple times, like in the Gallic invasion of Brennus, the Samnite and the Punic wars.

It also helped that power wasn't tied exclusively to one family, at least for too long, so the change of the ruling dynasty in the Imperial period didn't cause too much of an upheaval.

For starters the city of Rome itself was an overcrowded cesspool where people lived in buildings that could collapse any second. It was only after the hero Nero burned down parts of the city that the city started turning out somewhat decent.

Another factoid is that the Roman's favorite spice was made from decomposed fish intestines

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garum

The Roman Empire therefore sounds like hell on earth to me

They also liked to snack on each other's boogers from their upper lips/filtrum as a sexual kink.

All Finnish people are chinks, don't lie Chang lee

It's worth pointing out though that they survived another 500 years after sacking Carthage before the official 'collapse,' and the Byzantines survived for a thousand years on top of that in the east, they were an extremely long lived empire. The Republic fell for the same reasons every republic falls, corruption, bribery and the degeneracy of the mob.

The Byzantine imperial line passed on to the Russian tsar when the Turks sacked Constaninople, meaning that that Roman line ended only one hundred years ago, when (((they))) killed Tsar Nicholas II.

The Germanic tribes effortlessly annihilated the Romans in 410 AD. no big deal. Bunch of fuckin dagos.

Kind of related, but does anybody have the article of the ancient roman ship found shipwrecked off the coast of Brazil? Or Roman gold, weapons and tools uncovered on a coastal island in Canada?

Romans were actually too stubborn to admit defeat. They suffered massive loses several times, and they just make new legions.

Julius Caesar was the best.

Damn that’s hot. Imagine finding a woman who would do anything for you even to the point of sucking the buggers from your nose.

No. Adaptability was their strength. They took the advantages of other cultures for themselves, then used those against them. Diversity is the complete opposite of what they were trying to achieve: they wanted to impose Roman (and Greek) culture on the many different peoples they subjugated, and they were more or less successful.

like when cleoptra adopted egyptian style or caracalla gave citizenship to uncivilized barbarians. Diversity was the beginning of end for ptolemaic, roman and other strong empires of antiquity. Why do you think byzantine finally surrendered to crusaders or turks eventhough they had the cultural advantage? it's because they started to hire alien mercenaries in high military ranks like varangians, catalans and shit.

>primarily technology and military tactics

Garbage. Rome when it was expanding and when it beat its greatest foes had very simple military tactics in comparison to the people they fought (e.g. Carthage and the Greeks).

And technology? That is the kind of retarded response i would expect from a Amerimutt primitive. Typically mindless materialistic dogmatism. The idea that technology was a primary reason (or that technology has much to do with culture at all) is farcical (technological differences at that time were very marginal). When Rome became superior technologically it was already in decline.

Filthy Romans stole every bit of civilization from Asia minor and africa (Egypt is in Africa)

Then they blamed the based germanics for their shameful decline.

Same will happen to this.

USA is nothing like Rome. The HRE was the successor and inheritor of the Roman Empire, and you retards only helped to destroy that part of Europe (and continue doing so to this day).

>The Republic fell for the same reasons every republic falls, corruption, bribery and the degeneracy of the mob.
But that was also the reason because the west part of the empire fall, right?

>Technology is irrelevant
Right, Camilus’s introduction of brimmed bronze helmets, reinforcing the shields, and using pila as makeshift spears - all as a means to counter “Celtica Furor” - Gauls attacked vigorously but tended to tire in Med heat - yeah. This had nothing to do with finally driving Brennus out.
