I sometimes think of the scene in 300 when ephialtes is led to xerxes tent and sees all manner of perversion and corruption(yes, I know that’s Greek, not Roman).
Do you think Rome was dealing with the same level of absolute insanity in the years leading to their fall as we are, now?
Do you think their loyal, law abiding citizens would often look to one another from day to day and ask WTF is going on?
