What the Romans did – to vex me; a biased (though considered), personal commentary on their role in my history!

For context from the previous post: at the age of about 9 or 10 a feeling began to surface within me that I really didn’t like the Romans: “from what I’d come to understand they were show-offs, broke their promises and seemed to me to be greedy, cruel bullies – all those qualities I’d been taught weren’t “nice” behaviour! Something about them made me feel uncomfortable.”
