The fall of the Roman Empire vs America

I was just looking some of the emperors during the decline of the Roman Empire and remembered Comodus and Caligula. Each with distinct similarities to recent past presidents and possible future ones.

This passage is brutal, but it symbolizes how the cancer of Rome was removed and how we must remove the cancer of terrorism.

"It comes as no surprise then that at least three further conspiracies were soon launched against Caligula's life. Were some foiled, then alas one succeeded.
Caligula's suspicion that his joint praetorian prefects, Marcus Arrecinus Clemens and his unknown colleague, were planning his assassination prompted them, in order to avoid their execution, to join a part of senators in a plot.
The conspirators found a willing assassin in the praetorian officer Cassius Chaerea, whom Caligula had openly mocked at court for his effeminacy.

In 24 January AD 41 Cassius Chaerea, together with two military colleagues fell upon the emperor in a corridor of his palace.
Some of his German personal guards rushed to his aid but came too late. Several praetorians then swept through the palace seeking to kill any surviving relatives. Caligula's fourth wife Caesonia was stabbed to death, her baby daughter's skull smashed against a wall.

The scene was truly a gruesome one, but it freed Rome from the insane rule of a tyrant.

Caligula had been emperor for less than four years."
 
The reason Rome fell apart was because of constant cicil war. Emperors getting assasinated was common place near its end. They didn't have nearly the same power as say Octavian. Greed was its main downfall
 
Sorry, but I dont read posts that long. It is just me. But it does sound interesting. However, I doubt that America is in any serious danger. I wouldnt compare us to the Roman empire, there are just too many differences. The collapse of the USSR is more closley related to the fall of the Roman Empire IMO.
 
there was a senator or representative who wrote a book about that. the fall of america compared to the fall of the roman empire.

how can you compare american presidents to caligula? caligula, among other things


would rape women, then afterwards tell them that they could never have sex again.

ate dinner while watching people get tortured

burnt out the treasury in a year

locked the granaries on whims.

You should really start reading the posts that you reply to.

If that is too much reading for you then maybe university is not for you...and he reason you do not qualify for scholarships becomes less of a enigma.
 
we should start conquering other nations. create a real dynasty.

But we should first start with killing off the stupid and useless in society....

I guess you would get screwed in that deal....hahaha

oh my god that was so funny that you made yourself laugh!!! wow!!! im sure a liberal such as yourself wouldnt agree with a policy of killing the stupid and useless in our society. you spend so much time defending them. i guess you think you are an asset to society. you keep on thinking that.
