Ancient+Rome

Ancient Rome vs. Modern US After reading that article, I realized how similar the two really are. The most obvious being, as stated in the article, their militaries. Since they both put so much money and time into their militaries, that is a similarity. There's also the difference of Romans creating colonies, unlike the US. The US also has not tried to gain more land by forcefully taking over other countries. The US also uses a business format that had its roots in Rome. Along with Rome, the US also provides its people with many things to make their lives easier. Romans gave their people baths and heating, and the US gives their people things like McDonald's, Starbucks, and Wal-Mart. Rome and the US also use capitalism as their form of government. The examples shown here are similar to what the Roman empire did near the fall of their empire, and this gives evidence that the US will follow a similar path. media type="custom" key="18327188" width="270" height="270" align="center" 10/10 nice work
