>>780398They were christian.
1. I'm not sure that the Christ-god even exists
and
2. Christianity is from what we would call Israel, so the god (if it exists) would have stayed there.
>>780795Yeah mate, obviously caeser is going to justify his conquest.
Roman culture was not superior. The entire reason why the romans had "superior" culture (baths, aqueducts, works of architecture, large cities, etc) is because the majority of the population were slaves, and did not live in good conditions. The "uncivilised" tribes of Gaul and Germania and the Germanic tribes later on (Norse, Anglo Saxon, etc) all owned slaves, but their slaves had to be given food and sheep and a house and warm clothing.
And the Uncivilised tribes lived to their mid 60's to early 70's. That is the natural age to die. Any longer and people start to shit themselves, get dementia and alzheimers, and lots of other shitty diseases. Any longer than your mid 70's is living too long, and only the incredibly wise and strong elders would live that long in those times.
The Uncivilised tribes lived better than The "civilised" peoples. They did not need good roads (they had hardy animals that did well in mud and rough terrain) they did not need works of architecture (they saw it as offending the gods, and they preferred their homes to be made out of natural materials and their homes were not close together), they did not need security (they practised ritualised warfare, and thus did not raid villages and rape women), and they did not need advanced agriculture (if their crops failed for a season then they could go hunting and foraging, they weren't reliant on agriculture).
The romans did not make their lives better. Also, the Gauls and Germanic tribes didn't live in mud huts, they lived in well built wooden houses with thatched roofs and wood or wattle and daub walls).
