Do you think Rome was a wonderful paradise or a bloody crime scene? And why? :)

They spoke latin, that is my image of paradise! So, they liked to see a little blood, so what? I think that people have the wrong image about Rome being "a bloody crime scene". I also think that there is much more violence today, and not to mention all those things we see on television! Besides, Rome gave us many great things, works of art etc.
P.S. Of course, I can't speak about Rome sine ira et studio, I love it to much to be able to do that.

You know what it really is?

Rome= Pagan= blood shed war/murder/assignations/take-overs= Polytheist= Killing Jews/Christians= thats when their REALLY pagans.

compared to lets say oh England!
England= Christian= blood shed war/murder/assignation/take overs= Christian= Crusades= Killing ironically jews/ Islam= but its okay GOD said so!

its only murder if the pagans are doin' it, otherwise its gods work!
