You mean that group of, smelly and tiny little towns in Europe? towns that with the exception of Rome had less than 30.000 inhabitants.
Total war attila mods high resolution professional#
At last, the medieval roman empire was for most of the time of the early middle ages the most powerful political entity in the mediterranean with true shining cities not dirty little towns, with an organized fleet and professional armies, something the emerging european kingdoms would not obtain until the end of the 13th century. Regarding latin, do i need to remind everyone that the roman elite always spoke greek since at least the third century BC, and as we all know the romans had an inferiority complex regarding greek culture. The pope was a glorified bishop that took advantage from the weakness of the medieval roman empire to crown a dirty and illiterate frank. This in no way was Rome!I dont want to quote the quite known remarkable phrase abot the HRE but it seems i have no choice, that thing was neither an empire, nor holy or Roman. Was simply a fortress city commanding ever changing territory, ruled by decadent Greek speakers. No, no, Byzantium as everybody except historians has known before and since. Its clerics spoke Latin, the true language of Rome. It was ordained by the Pope who was infallible. The Holy Roman Empire lasted thousand years. That said I will resume lurking on the fourms waiting for ibfd 8.0 to deliver me back to Rome 1 and Sanity. I know where you stand on the roman naming and I respect it. In the end we are all lovers of history and ancient war. Sometimes I may not agree but I would never take offense of what you say. Well I have never found your opinions outrages.
Legio, in short I see them exactly as they saw themselves: "Ῥωμαῖοι - Romaioi"Ībout Attila DLCs. and, all in all, is it really important or relevant my opinion about what is actually a nation, its roots, its human and cultural heritage? I don't think, I'm nobody and nothing, NIHIL would say the Romans, I'm some sort of electrical nonentity and when you look at the face of Jules Bonnot in my avatar you see just a vanishing shadow of a long forgotten man. But actually this matter risks to bring us too far from the OP and I already know that my opinion would be too much outrageously politically incorrect for great part of you guys. about the meaning of being a nation or being not, I see the matter in another way: one land, one language, one historical legacy = one people, that is, the roots of a nation are lying under earth, where there are the bones and the ashes of your ancestors, being German or French or Italian it means being part of a common human and historical heritage, your nation doesn't belong to you, but you belong to her. what is the point with out that problem looming over the Romans heads!?!Legio, in short I see them exactly as they saw themselves: "Ῥωμαῖοι - Romaioi" also seeing the map i am sad there is no eastern front. I personally view them as Roman just in Greek. Quoting my teacher from high school when I the Byzantine or Rome question if the capital of Berlin fell would Germany would no longer be called Germany? if the Thirteen Colonies fell would the USA no longer be so? Since the Romans changed their capital in 402 AD would we change the name of the western roman empire to the Empire of Ravenna? Why is the Chinese empire still called that if it changed hands for centuries? The army evolved as any armies would have, the language changed but the laws stayed the same,the Senate although weak stayed until the fall and from all I have read the infantry mostly gave a good account for them selves and stayed professional until the fall and im talking about the Roman infantry even when in small numbers not the mercs. Almost a thousand years of survival is still pretty impressive
