[QUOTE="Rashak Mani, post: 333161, member: 642"] >>>>>>>>> One can only imagine what Rome might have been able to do! Semper Fidelis, SHARK <<<<<<<<<<<<< Not much I think. You must remember that in counterbalance to their amazing technical and military skills was a society and political system that was becoming ever more corrupt and rotten. The slave system was a major "delaying" factor too. If they somehow transitioned out of the senatorial/cesar power center arrangement and the slave based economy then they might have gone further. Rome first boosted in power when they deposed a Monarch and became a Republic... in later ages they were slowly going back to old ways. Their strongest points were actually their Law system and Urban development. Corruption tended to weaken evermore the Law benefit and too much reliance on slaves made the urban population largely unemployed or under employed. Politics too spoiled the "system". [/QUOTE]
