hmm, rome, i believe, conquered 90% of the "known world". america has much less than that. most of rome's army were foreignors.
and remember, it took rome a very long time to stop sparticus the gladiator during the slave rebellion, and they never stopped hannibal. and this was in the rome's home turf. america on the other hand, has fought its modern wars all outside its domestic land. |

unfair response
Roman Empire was an Empire. They conquered countries and kept them.
America is a country, they invaded two countries they thought were threats, but don't plan to stay.
And it doesn't matter, the Visigoths sacked Rome anyways in the end.
Maybe modern day Swedes and Fins will conquer America?:disbelief |

| Wed win because unlike ceasar we were able to protect ourselves from our backstabbing little "friends" that would all be under the German flag singing "Das Lied der Deutschen" if it werent for us. |

out of all our snipers, smart bombs, and nukes poor ceasar should fear our navy :haha:
this is a good question - think about it... while the navy is working on aiming their guns caesar could be sneaking on board slitting everyones throats while their backs are turned...
or while they sleep... he wouldnt even need any fancy stealth gear, just give him a stick of deoderant and there goes the navy |

what i meant was rome contained a much higher percentage of the known world under their permanent rule. while america, the country itself and its possessions are about 5% i believe. and the known world is much much bigger than it was in roman times.
"and remember, it took rome a very long time to stop sparticus the gladiator during the slave rebellion, and they never stopped hannibal. and this was in the rome's home turf. america on the other hand, has fought its modern wars all outside its domestic land."
i made this statement basically to come to the conclusion that if both rome and america squared off according to each ones technological status during their time, america would win. |

| America wouldn't stand a chance against Caesar's ninjas. And if the ninjas somehow failed, Russel crowe certainly wouldn't. |
