Yeah, those Romans were barbarians as opposed to the others in their day. I mean, slavery? Seriously?!? That has to be the cruelest thing on Earth. I mean, all the Carthiginians did was sacrifice babies. And those Germanics and Britons? They totally didn't throw severed heads dunked in quicklime at the Roman legions. At least the Romans actually had a set of laws. A set of laws, might I add, that are very similar to the system used by the United States Judicial Branch. The same United States that used slavery up until two hundred years ago.
