ROME CALLED OTHERS NOT A PART OF ROME AND ITS EMPIRE "BARBARIANS" - THE CELTS, THE BRITISH, THE GERMAN TRIBES, WERE TO ROME "BARBARIANS."
THE OLD MOVIE "SPARTACUS" STARING KIRK DOUGLAS, LAURENCE OLIVIER, JEAN SIMMONS, CHARLES LAUGHTON, PETER USTINOV, JOHN GAVIN, TONY CURTIS - A 1960 UNIVERSAL PICTURE - MEGA SPECTACLE OF 3 HOURS AND 16 MINUTES, GIVES YOU THE TRUTH ABOUT THE ROMAN EMPIRE.
IT WAS PROPHESIED THE ROMAN EMPIRE WOULD BE THE 4TH WORLD RULING EMPIRE, MADE OF IRON IN THE LEGS OF DANIEL'S STATUTE IN CHAPTER TWO.
THE ROMAN EMPIRE WAS STRONG AS A WAR MACHINE, STRONGER THAN THE OTHER THREE WORLD EMPIRES, BUT IRON HAS LITTLE BEAUTY OR REDEEMING QUALITY.
NOW AT TIMES THERE WERE SOME GOOD PARTS TO THE ROMAN EMPIRE; IN RULING THE HOLY LAND THEY ALLOWED THE JEWS TO OBSERVE THEIR RELIGION; WHEN CARADOC [THE MIGHTY BRITISH WARRIOR WHO DEFEATED ROME MANY TIMES IN BATTLE] WAS CAPTURED [BETRAYED BY ONE OF HIS OWN] AND TAKEN TO ROME, HIS LIFE [AND HIS FAMILY] WAS SPARED, AS THEY RESPECTED HIM SO MUCH.
BUT FOR THE MOST PART ROME WAS LIKE THAT DEPICTED IN THE MOVIE CALLED "SPARTACUS."
IT IS A FINE COLOR MOVIE THAT GIVES YOU A LOOK AT THE DARK SIDE OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE.

Hi Keith! You mention 3 other Empires at this time in history. I would believe around 60 B.C. What are those 3 Empires?
