      Why even make the whole Roman empire up? It’s like the flat Earth shit. What’s the point in hiding this? There’s just no logic to those conspiracy bullshit.

        It’s not about the information itself, it’s about getting the people who are dumb enough to believe this to question all of their education.

        “If they were wrong about this what else were they wrong about?”

        Whoever started this little ‘rumor’ is heavily suspect.

        Well, the Romans were fakes though. Bunch of knock-off, budget Etruscans. Couldn’t even come up with their own pantheon and instead just copied it from the Greeks. 😋

            Be Greek

            Get conquered by Romans

            They’re huge weebs for your culture, steal everything

            Adapt to theirs as well, create an unstoppable military and economic machine

            Call yourselves Romans now

            West Rome collapses, your part of the Empire lasts another thousand years

            “They weren’t really Roman”
