The Roman Empire, the root of Western civilization, the glorious glory.

 The founder of the current brilliant Western civilization, what is it? 2700 years ago, a city was newly established, so-called "Roma" they were simple agricultural peoples, and there was nothing particularly good about them compared to neighboring city countries, and they were just such a country. At that time, all of the countries surrounding Rome were monster-class countries with powerful and highly civilization. Etruria, which is combative and has a high degree of architectural technology, Greece, which boasted overwhelming civilization compared to large temples and neighboring countries, and Carthage with the sea in its hands... Surrounded by these strong men, Rome has developed. Hello, sometimes I refute Western civilization with insignificant knowledge because there are haters who are too shallow. Of course, pride in oriental culture is good, but on the other hand, we have to acknowledge the excellence of Western culture. Let's get started. Rome was a humble small country in the beginning, but it has developed greatly into its own "organization" and "system." First of all, when you think of Rome, you will immediately think of the CENTURIA. They are the most basic unit of units that become the core of the Roman army. It is the white captain who leads these white troops, and they are veterans of battle and perform a mission to lead and direct the soldiers. When many of these Caucasian troops gather, they become a battalion (COHORS). And when battalions gather, they become a legion (LEGIO). To be more accurate, one corps is a group of a total of 10 battalions, and it is a huge organization with a commander of the corps, a chief of staff, a knight, a Hwagye officer, and a doctor at the command. Each legion has technical soldiers and medical staff assigned, and in short, it can be said to be a miniature version of Roman society. In its heyday, all Roman legions received iron armor and huge shields from the state. I think these heavily armed soldiers could have felt psychological relief. The technology of the Roman army is that it can create a very systematic, practical, and solid position in one day. It was a means of making soldiers feel safe and comfortable by building this kind of position where they would only stay a few days. However, the excellence of the Roman army is not its technical skills, armed maps, or mobilization, but its thorough organizational power. Legion soldiers had to be Roman citizens, and in addition, it was an attractive job to expect bonuses as well as definite money, so the military discipline was full. In terms of military power, I don't think any country at the time could keep up with the readiness, organizational power, and thoroughness of the Roman army. Therefore, I think Goguryeo VS Rome or Han Dynasty VS Rome may be Rome's victory or the discussion itself may be meaningless. In the field of politics, the Roman Republic, as its name suggests, was oligarchy. The Romans, who were very reluctant to concentrate their power on one person, had even the highest-ranking Consul (CONSUL) at the time be headed by two people. The Senate is said to have discussed many issues, presented policies, and implemented the results. In many cases, during the national crisis, a DICTATOR was temporarily installed to give absolute power to competent figures within a limited period of time. Even when Rome moved to the ruling party, the country's symbol was still SPQR (SENATUS POPULUS QUE ROMANUS) "Roma belongs to the Senate and citizens." Although the emperor had absolute power, he must have respected the interests of the Senate and citizens. Rather, the emperor himself knew well that his power came from Roman citizens. The best honor as a Roman man is the improvement ceremony. During the Republican era, if the general won a big victory, he could ride a white horse tank to hold a splendid and magnificent improvement ceremony, so the path to success was already paved, and other generals had no choice but to grow their love for victory. It would be very OTL if only the general was left with all the hard work and all the credit went to the emperor.What I hate about the enactment of Rome is that only the emperor performs an improvement ceremony. Later, Roman politics retreated a lot, but they say that only in their heyday, their politics were very good. The field of society was really unique and outstanding. Roman citizens were protected by law. It can be said to be the world's first rule of law. Roman citizens were able to protect themselves in court through lawyers. In addition, when dealing with national rebellion, only the parties were severely punished and the bereaved families were sent home at best. It shows a slightly different aspect from the extinction of the three Eastern tribes. Roman citizens were guaranteed free food and entertainment during the festival. Social welfare was so thorough that some people said that no one starved to death in Rome. Roman citizenship was almost the same as current American citizenship... (Other races are trying for Roman citizenship...) It was attractive to move on to the enactment of human resources and to be able to succeed regardless of race or origin. There were even emperors who came from fast states, not from Italy. Rome focused on creating new paths rather than building barriers. That is, the Roman archipelago. By connecting the entire empire with a well-paved roadway, it does not mean that all roads lead to Rome because it connects the Iberian Peninsula to the west, the Britannia Peninsula to the north, North Africa to the south, Egypt, Palestine and Syria to the east. Thanks to this special provisional system, the general stationed in Britannia was able to come to Palestine at once to suppress the rebellion. It must have been a water facility in Roman cities, so citizens could receive clean water distribution every day. Spain's Sergovian capital is famous for remaining of those capitals. Public baths were free of charge, allowing many people to enjoy a pleasant bath. It is said that the Roman bath was not just for bathing, but for social life, entertainment, contemplation, massage, and everything. Oh... It's hard... It's been a while since I used the brain's 'memory' so...-; conclusion is that Europe has not only exerted great power since modern times. Even in ancient times, Europe did a lot better job. Except for Northern Europe (Germania, Scandinavia), and the Roman Empire of ancient Europe was the one who is now the grandfather of European values.
