How really \'different\' were the Romans?

[Mark Hygate]

Frankly, who would want to be bothered, if they had to contend with the rant that followed this comment? .............

Thank you for replying - but in what way was that a 'rant'? It expressed a point of view, which you obviously disagree with - so you dismiss it as a rant? You have no interest in questioning the veracity of the written 'evidence', but accept it within only narrow lines?
