>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.

Arches, grid based cities, sewers, sanitation, roads, aqueducts, roman numerals, surgery tools/techniques, julian calendar, newspapers, concrete, bound books, welfare, the twelve tables, the corpus Juris Civilis etc. etc. etc. etc.

Yes, not worth bragging about indeed.

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.

Except Byzantine Empire was literally the eastern half of the Roman Empire, split off by Constantine.

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.

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.
