Ancient Rome was a civilization with great engineers who built roads, aqueducts, conquered the Mediterranean and most of Europe. When they got sick, they were told by "doctors"... 'go soak our fine public baths!"

It was a republic that became an Empire run by barbaric dolts, and it collapsed.

Optimism of the will"
