Abdelsauron on October 7, 2025 10:09 pm Rome didn’t fall for another 1000 years. Except for when Rome lost control of Rome. Except for when Rome adopted a different language than Rome. Except for when Rome adopted a different legal system than Rome. Except for when Rome adopted a different religion than Rome. Except for when Rome adopted a different culture than Rome. Except for when the capitol of Rome (not Rome FYI) got ransacked and conquered by opportunistic Germans and Italians. But aside from all of those things it took 1000 years.
