Calm down there Hulkomania, this article is very clearly written from the perspective of the British Isles, and the Romans were kinda a big deal there.
Before you start implying people are trying to "seem clever", maybe check that your indignation hasn't blinded you to the patently bloody obvious.
- jgrahamc 14y agoSure, but (a) the Romans were quite a big deal to the Jews as "Judea" was part of the Roman Empire and (b) it's reasonable of the parent to bring up the Jews because it's an interesting counterpoint to using the Romans as representatives of what people did back then. The original article could have mentioned this but does not.
- lutze 14y agoYou're missing the point. This article is about BRITONS, i.e. the inhabitants of the British Isles. It's not using Romans as representatives of what PEOPLE did back then, it's using Romans as representatives of what BRITONS did back then. Historically the Romans had a huge cultural impact on Britain... whereas ancient Jews had none. So why then should this article randomly mention ancient Jewish traditions? You're complaining about a complete non-issue.
