Most !burgers don't know the difference between the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire, the causes of the Republic's decline due to it's partisan politics, the willingness of up-and-comers to abuse and stress-test the system, and "overthrow the government in order to save it."
!historychads Rome fell 400 years before the Fall of Rome. Frick the Grachi, Frick Marius, Frick Sulla, Frick Caesar, Frick Pompi, Frick Crassus, Frick Mark Antony, Frick Octavius, Frick that other guy... Lepidus?
Frick Populari, Frick Optimates.

He instituted his Prescriptions and executed without trial all of his political opponents.
He opposed Marius' military reforms while also using them. Marius tried to make the military loyal only to Rome but Sulla instead made them even more loyal to generals, which enabled Carsar to end the Republic.
Sulla was a double BIPOC.

The Empire was cool and all, but the Republic should be an inspiration to us all.
