There's plenty of horrific human-on-human violence in the 20th century, so I find this claim that the Romans were so different quite unconvincing.

- nradov 5y agoRomans appeared to have a more casual acceptance of violence than those of us in modern Western civilization. We moderns might actually kill more people in wars (and related genocides), but we still regard those deaths as exceptional aberrations rather than a normal part of daily life.
