The British Empire was the greatest in the world. The Roman empire has done very little to change the world, all of their "acheivements" were taken from other cultures but they were the first true empire. The British empire has brought more to the world than the Romans ever could. List of Roman acheivements:Aquaducts, Latin, A numbering systems that no understands. err... thats about it. I like ancient history more than any other but the romans were greedy, murdering bastards.
TYPO: no one understands.
spartan001 now that you think that your better than Rome you have officially be taken away the right to call Americans arrogant
The romans were the nazis of the time period.
The romans were the nazis of that time period.
Well I'd say that the British Empire was mor imprtessive than Rome's in the ideas and innovations it brought, And it was alot bigger. However, given that Romes empire lasted in the West for 600 years and in the east till the mid 1400's, and Britains lasted what, bout 300 years?
I can't believe that 45% of people are so ignorant to say that the Romans did more for the world. Seriously, people who voted for the Romans: Get a bloody education.
this is a hard question as they were from differenct time periods. However the modern culture of the western world is directly related to Rome, in everything from out government, economy, and military.
^well actually the Western world is more directly related to British influence. We did more for the world, conquered more countries, defeated other world superpowers unlike the Romans, generally influenced the world far more.
LOL, Roman Empire votes have gone up. I have one word for those voters: muppets.
