people seem to forget that individual genetic superiority is not the same as superiority when it comes to empire building. Look at the british, how did they get this empire?

both have one thing in common:

they are betas and good at following orders. That's it. You need a nation of semi strong folk who are really good at following orders and don't mind corruption in their government to build an empire

Look at the british recently. They find out that their royal family are LITERAL PEDOPHILES who promote laws to help their pedophile brethren and what do the brits do? "gee I don't think this is right you know"

typical empire building behavior

What made Rome great was the racial blood, the blood that would later forge an empire out of three continents. The peace and prosperity that ushered into Italy during the early-mid participate made the population weak and decadent and over time the Roman virtues that were worshiped and admired by their forefathers faded into oblivion. A mass influx of foreign immigrants toppled with a loss of morals and traditional values, that surfaced because of centuries of peace, poisoned and destroyed the original Roman stock that made the Empire so great; the racial foundation was destroyed and therefore the empire itself ceased to exists centuries before the fall of Rome.

Snownigger migrants propped up the western Roman empire for centuries after it's height, they volunteered for the legions at a time when 'pure' Roman men are documented as prefering to cut off one of their thumbs to avoid conscript rather than leave their cushy lives to fight the empire's enemies on the limes.

Germanic migrants adored the achievements of Romans of previous centuries and sought to mimic them while 'pure' Romans were descending into hedonism and prefered political infighting to national unity.

Hell, Romans weren't even 'racially pure' during their height, they got culturally enriched by Celts a couple of centuries before they started to build their power.

Superior organization and discipline in their army. Bigger hoards of barbarians would rush in a mob, but the Romans had more flexibility and moved people from the front of the line to the back so that the people doing the fighting were always fresh.

A booming population allowed them to fight with suicidal stubbornness. In the second Punic war, multiple armies were totally destroyed by Hannibal but they just kept forming new armies to throw at him until they got generals capable of not wasting the men.

Joining the army was the best way for the homeless to get ahead in life, and military success was necessary to advance your political career, so everyone was always up for another war.

Strong, stocky men of short stature. Heavily armed and armored.

The Romans didn't rule despite being manlets. The Romans ruled *because* they were manlets.

Of course the Romans were largely to blame but hey they created one of the greatest civilizations ever built in comparison to that of the Celts so no harm done right?

I am a Celt, the Celts were basically pushed back to the British Isles and northern France at the height of the Roman empire. For a while, the Celts took back control of Britain when the Romans left, but then shortly after the Anglo Saxons began to invade and settle in Britain.. The Anglo Saxons have mostly out-bred and inter-bred with (read; cucked) the Celts who remained in the isles, but not the Welsh. The Welsh and (I think) the Bretons of Britanny in northern France are the last of the pure Celts.

I'd say it's the culture. You see, before it all went to shit, being a Roman citizen was not a joke. To actually be a citizen, you actually had to embody some proper Roman values. After a while tho, Rome had no enemies and laziness kicked in, you could basically buy citizenship for money and everything went to shit.

Sparta too, for example, had proper citizenry for 1100 years. Just they never got lazy from lack of wars, they constantly went to wars and so culture and moral standards and society never got lazy.

In regards to this, there was truth to it to be honest. At the end of the day we were still living in simple wooden and stone buildings, worshiping stone idols and trees, performing human sacrifices in the name of one of the great number of celtic gods there is said to have been. I suppose you could attribute the invention of soap and some various kinds of coloured paints and dyes to the celts but not much more. Another anon in the thread has pointed out their fine sword and mail making techniques, that's a fair point too. They were quite a violent warrior society, they didn't give much of a shit for strategy or planning, they adored individual skill and heroism in the heat of combat. Right up until Wales was subjugated by England the Welsh were far too busy fighting among ourselves to ever really put up a fight against the English. The Celts were always ferocious warriors with no concern for strategy, all they were ever concerned about is boasting about their heroic deeds and essentially being an entire culture of ABSOLUTE MADMEN.

You're thinking of Athens. You know, the city-state with a large network of colonies throughout Asia Minor and the Aegean Islands and the largest navy of the entire Greek world. Leonidas would've gotten curb-stomped at Thermopylae on day one if it weren't for the Athenian navy (he still got curb-stomped though lel).

Sparta got dominated by a band of gay queers called the Sacred Band. A Delphian hoplite contingent. It also could do fuck all against anyone with better skirmishing capability because, for all their skill in close quarters combat, they were ill-equipped to deal with a whole lot of peasants with slings. They fell into obscurity because they couldn't adapt to the changing climate of warfare, not because Alexander and Phillip were some unstoppable demigods. They didn't even bother with conquering Sparta.

Easy, civilization changes the meaning of 'power'.
Ask a nigger who died prom a gunshot wound while trying to assault an old lady.
Judging a man by his stature is literally less then chimp level (because they at least have social ques) of reasoning.

That doesn't really make any sense because present day Italy is a corrupt as fuck place and is an absolute shit-hole. Not much innovation come from them nowadays. Although that could be attributed to the loss of their original culture.

If Romans took Jews as slaves to Italy then this could be a result of inter-breeding. Not sure though.

Do I need to remind you that Sparta crushed Athens at the end of the day? While their 'philosopher kings' just sat there and wanked on the concrete steps all day, Spartans upheld rigorous societal and moral standards at all times and when society would be put to a test, Sparta aced it every time.

You posted genetic relations, not sure about any proof of 'superiority'.
While my post was more related to 'performance'.
And with regards to that all meds are closely related in being shit. Look at Italy, the only worthwhile people literally live in the alps getting dragged down by their southern moor rape baby countrymen.
Face it, the Mediterranean people of antiquity are gone.

Also, memes aside, Southern Europe has still a decent living standart regarding to Europe and so much 90 % of todays world

North italians are white.

Rape of sicily.
North italians still have blonde hair and blue eyes like the original romans.

You said "at the end of the day", which would imply a long-term victory. You're talking about the Peloponnesian
War. They beat Athens in a single war; big whoop. That happened even before Rome (the subject of this thread) became a major Mediterranean power. It hardly even matters.

I always found it interesting that Romans traced their ancestry back to Troy which was supposedly located into what is now present day Istanbul. The Eastern Roman / Byzantine empire in a sense was the "return" to their original ancestral homeland.

With Chrintiary its glory in the afterlife. With the pagans it was glory for Rome.

When Pagans blamed the fall of Rome on Christians, St augustine said and i'm paraphrasing.
"Who cares, just temporal shit. Glory in the afterlife."

Go figure.

Further proof that the Jews ruin everything, by instituting a religion for cucks.

I guess the centuries of anti-semitism afterwards was karma for killing Rome.

The alpha state in humans is not based solely upon size or strength. It is psychological, and indicated by multiple refined abilities.

Romans were just more alpha.

Better warriors, more determined, more unrelenting, more innovative, flexible, and adaptive than their enemies. Their culture was all around more developed and complex than that of many of their foes.

Ya its a real shame that Rome got cucked By Christianity


Just like Europe is getting cucked by Christianity right now with Pope Francis breaking the gates from the inside to let the invaders in to be more tolerant


Rome had a stricter but accepting view of other religions. You could still follow your own Gods but they taught you theres just in case you wanted to convert.
