>Italians claim they are Romans just because Rome was the capital of the Roman Empire
Why are they so retarded? Putting aside the fact the Roman Empire isn't exactly worth bragging about, half of their gay peninsula wasn't even apart of it. Mean while all of Germany/Switzerland etc are. Why is it Germans and Swiss don't claim "Muh heritage" but Italians do it 24/7?
Is it because they have nothing else worth noting?
Italians don't even speak Roman.

Ahaha top banterz
That's not the Roman Empire, bru.

I'm starting to consider moving Italy further on the official Bullying chart, they're getting hit pretty hard recently
Even Greeks were Roman far longer than actual Romans from the city of Rome
>>52962165
>Byzantines
>Roman
>>52962214
Sure they were Greeks and spoke Greek but for the whole duration of the Byzantine Empire they saw themselves as Romans.
>>52962329
>they saw themselves as Romans
Same as the germans and their ''''''''''Holy'''''''''' ''''''''''Roman'''''''''' ''''''''''Empire''''''''''.
>>52962386
But Greeks influenced Rome as an Empire more than everyone
Germanics were stupid Barbarians, they can claim being a rapebaby of Atillah

>Roman Empire loses its Western provinces
>Western Europeans live in chaos for three hundred years while Rome prospers

>>52962983
Don't get me wrong my friend, I don't consider Greeks as Romans
But they can claim indeed the term 'Roman' more than Germanic/Celtic people
>>52963098
>they can claim indeed the term 'Roman'
Stopped reading. They can't. Not matter how you phrase it.
I love Greece btw so it's not that I dislike them or anything but the Byzantines simply weren't roman.
>>52962386
Except Byzantine Empire was literally the eastern half of the Roman Empire, split off by Constantine.
>Guys guys! Wait! The roman empire actually lasted until 15 century because the greek-speaking byzantines were actually roman!
>>52963498
byzantines were based tho

No, the entirety of the peninsula was a part of Rome during the empire.

>>52963498
They might not have been very spiritually "Roman" after a while, but they were legitimately the Roman Empire from a "legal" point of view.
The Empire was technically just split in two administrative regions, and most importantly each one with its own capital, with Constantinople which was already from a lots of years the big capital of the Empire.
>>52963617
They may not have been ethnic Romans from the city of Rome, but their state was -the- Roman Empire, therefore their nationality was Roman.
>>52964040
So an Italian hurt your feelings and now they will know your vengeance.
>>52964381
No italian hurt my feelings, a romanian memelord living in Italy is memeing too hard though.
>>52964213
>ethnic Romans
>>52964204
But from a cultural and linguistic point of view they weren't roman at all. The Roman Empire did NOT last until the 15th century.
