   I have never seen anything to suggest that the Romans were any more "Brutal"   
   than other cultures.

   Even the bible had the Jews of the Roman period stoning uppity women to

   It was a brutal period in human history. Period. The Romans were only   
   "Brutal" in comparison to modern cultures -- and even then not all modern   
   cultures -- but not the least bit "Brutal" in comparison to their peers.

   is judges the past by the standards of the present, believing that this makes   
   them all visionaries.
