Rome's main success was a good Marketing Strategy. When they conquered a group they gave them citizen rights, hence the Togas and road building. It was a good deal. They failed when they just started killing and conquering and denied citizenry and benefits to the vanquished. The Visgoths and Goths were too far away and the "demographic" had changed. (Hawk is on to something!). There were not enough real Romans with Roman values to go around. The soldiers remained in the new lands and MARRIED the local ladies.(Lots of smart people on this thread) Hence it was hard to manage the Communications strategy and the Romans lost their power. Maybe Rove and Card are smart enough to avoid this mistake with their new "Global Communication Department." Rascal@Whenyou'reahammereverythinglookslikeanail.com
