Comparing the Roman Empire and the United States of America

"Even if you stand in the stadium, Rome will stand, as the stadium goes down, Rome will fall and Rome will fall - the world." Sir Byron. In this article we discuss the similarity between military, economic, and governmental systems between the Roman Empire of the 6th century BC and the United States of the 20th century.
