Which Is Your Favorite Historical Earth Empire and Why Is It Your Favorite Empire?

Not necessarily which you think was the greatest empire. Which one is your favorite, and what about it makes it your favorite?


This comes from a conversation we have been having at work for most of the day today. I thought it interesting enough to ask you guys.

 

Queensryche ?


LOL

 

Rome.
I got a lot to say why, and not the time today.
I would say Mongolian 2nd.

 

I say Rome as well. Between them and Britain, we have most all the comforts and accommodations of western life. But we had to fight Britain twice, so they're out.

 

I also like Rome because even though they were split into Roman/Byzantine, they put to bed the majority of the barbarian tribes that were plundering, raping, and pillaging most of the known world. Those were bad things even back then.
If you use the Roman design for building your garden path, all the way up to a rural road, it still stands as the best way to build those things.
A lot of things that will take time to discuss.

 

Rome

Speaking from personal experience

 

The enduring tie Between Rome and Greece. Though Rome eventually conquered Greece in 146 BCE, the real victory belonged to the Greeks. Roman elites became obsessed with Greek language, philosophy, art, literature, and mythology. So I call it a tie.

 

The Byzantine Empire. Screw the Ottoman Empire for ending them.

Their my favorite for dumb reason. When people see me day dreaming and ask what I'm thinking, for years I've been saying, "I'm contemplating the Byzantine Empire."

 

Boardwalk.

Only took me ten minutes to get it. I enjoyed that show. I live 40 miles from AC and they have a cool mock set up on the boardwalk.

 

The one from Queensrÿche?

You mentioned them earlier.
