So here I am, the year 867. And it struck me.. I should restore the Roman Empire. So now to the question that (may?) justify why this thread is about what culture I should go with in CK 2. Which one, greeks or italians can say they are "closests" to Romans?
>>1178363
Define "romans". If you mean latins, italians are clearly the closest, of course.
>>1178401
Roman Empire, Caesar, muh rhine kind of romans
>>1178363
>Restore
What do you mean restore? Have you not heard of the Eastern Roman Empire? The Byzantines? Constantinople, Miklagard? The empire is still there.
>>1178408
But nothing you mention is strongly related to culture.
>>1178442
Sure, sure could debate the whole lot of 'em east and west were all the mighty lads after the Roman Empire fell into two.. But like.. you know.. the real thing. That Caesar thing.
>>1178454
Myeeaaah I don't really know how to put that into a working sentence. But you kinda get what I mean, no? Which one is the closer one, if you'd had to point out one of the two. Which one has that Roman heritage, greek or italian.
>>1178462
You mean like the Byzantine emperors? Even the city is named after Constantine the Great, the Roman emperor.
>>1178363
Ashenazi Jew.
>>1178470
None, they both lost it since Rome itself evolved past that.
>>1178462
If you mean julius caesar you might be interested in the roman REPUBLIC. Caesar was a democrat, he would never accept an empire! (I'm serious)
Germans as they did historically.
>>1178495
>democrat
You dont even know what that means
>>1178363
Use the character editor to give yourself Roman culture. Eventually it will spread to your whole empire.
>>1178508
Thought of doing that.. and may just.. /shrug
>>1178363
Where is Rome located anon? Greece or Italy?
There's your answer
>>1178514
Touché
>>1178495
>caesar was a democrat
what the fuck are you talking about man?
>>1178363
Byzantines obviously, Italians didn't claimed to be Romans because there wasn't a cultural sentiment to the Roman empire in West Europe after the falling of the Roman West Empire, unlike in the Byzantine court and Italian peninsula had a very large influx from Lombards, Ostrogothi and other German tribes who settled there
>>1178363
Fuck sakes, I don't even know what you're getting at. Many emperors from the time of Trajan, Hadrian, etc onward weren't born in "Italy" ( how we view modern day ) at all. The "seat of power" for the Roman empire was split to two halves later. The obvious answer, whatever ethnic qualifications you're going to invent, is that in 867, what was the Roman empire still very much existed as the Byzantine empire.

Sooooo if you cut an apple in halves and eat one half, the other half becomes a lemon? Sure thing, senpai
>>1180076
If a turk takes the apple half, does it become a lemon?
>>1180085
No, it becomes a turd, because the Turk eats the other half too
>>1178363
That Italian looks classy af
>>1180088
Sorry friend, the Western Roman Empire had it's shit together, and managed to repel the Turks.
