Yes, but besides the aqueduct and sanitation and roads, what have the Romans done for us??

Fun fact all those ideas were taken by Romans not invented by them, they just had a habit of burning books and history wherever they went and tried to gaslight their empire that they came up with shit.

Which is completely on brand

All empires across history are built upon the suffering of endless amounts of people. Romans are no different, of course they did a lot of shitty stuff.

But even if they didn’t invent those things, wasn’t it the Romans that extended those commodities across the Imperium?

Some other comment on this thread put it best, Rome was very good at taking ideas and rebranding it as their own, and once powerful enough they did a good job at decimating civilizations to the level of erasing or assimilating them into history
