What if Rome never fell? : What If

What if Rome never fell?

hey guys, new here. curious tho, what if the Roman Empire never fell? Like, imagine that instead of crumbling, it just kept evolving. Would we be centuries ahead in tech, politics and culture? Or maybe stuck in some never-ending tyrannical rule? Latin could’ve been the universal language, maybe. Makes you really ponder the butterfly effects of history, huh.

I agree. Imagine if the Roman Empire existed in 2023. Then, the whole world, including emperors, would be hooked on fast food, mobile phones, Reddit, social media, even Disney+'s latest Marvel projects.

That's actually a really interesting point. It's unlikely that technological progress would linearly map to our timeline. The Roman emphasis on practical engineering might've led to a different set of technological advancements with our modern comforts arriving in a completely different form. The political structure, likely would have evolved. Emperors adapting to and potentially manipulating modern media seems certain, though how this would shape governance is a matter of speculation.

lol, imagine Caesar rocking an iPhone and tweeting 'Veni, Vidi, Vici #ConquerorLife'. But seriously, would Roman fashion have changed? Or would togas have become high fashion with designer brands and all that?
