I much prefer informative atricles like this to that high brow literature.

There are certainly dircefenfes and plenty of other over-stretched empires to compare to, but I see the analogy.America was so proud to out-spend the Soviet Union to win the cold war and now continues dumping that money into destruction until it will bankrupt itself (financially and morally) as well.The idea of stable, fair profit has gone in favor of a demand for continually increasing profit at any non-monetary cost.I understand the Romans themselves didn't pay much tax at all compared to the provinces that were exploited. The Roman army was composed of less professional Roman soldiers over time as they fought amongst themselves for the occasional coup and were replaced by units conscripted from conquered nations.And where to even begin on the relationship between the empire and the Jesus (who refused to be King of anything as far as I can tell)
