Rome exerted an undeniable influence over the so called "Western culture". For several centuries, they imposed an omnimode power, ruling most part of the known world. In History, it would never happen again... The Pax Romana, despite all its faults, induced a cultural unit trending, along their vast domains. Of course, that finally brought interesting consequences. Later, when the roman empire decayed and fell, came stagnation times. But, the human spirit carried their good seed.
