Who Do You Root For: Barbarians or Romans?

That was before the Angles and Saxons came over.

The Romano-Britains weren't exterminated.

It's interesting that Squeeze self-identifies with the Anglo-Saxons.  Given his birth place and class origin I'm willing to bet he has more Romano-British blood than Anglo-Saxon.

For some reason I thought he was from the Danelaw.

Romano-Byzantines.  Barbarians didn't make Hagia Sophia, wouldn't make anything close to it for nearly a thousand years.

And beginning in 800 AD, the barbarians (rulers) started calling themselves Roman.

Major population movement from Central Europe to the West was inevitable. 

At least I would hope, if the Romans really succeeded.  I'm 6'4 and Blonde-seems more than likely that I'd be Danish or Holsteiner if the Romans had defended a few beaches better.

Rome, until they abandoned the West.  After that, it was a question of who would raise up civilization again.

Napoleon came fairly close to unifying Europe, that would make a pretty good spring board to conquer the rest of the world.

He did not have enough siblings.

But then the reign of the builder of the Hagia Sophia probably did more than any barbarian to set back civilization in the west.

Not that close.

Doesn't matter; had Hagia Sophia.

To be fair, a lot of Barbarians entered the Empire because they wanted to be part of it.

Closer then most.

It is a good Wonder to build.

Sadly, Justininian, for his genius, overreached.

The Line between Romans and Barbarians gets really blurred as time goes on.

Nothing is more puzzling than the continuous need of nations to invade Rome and China.  And just to add insult to injury after the Slavs rolled in nobody ever invaded Europe again.  The Romans just needed to hold out for two hundred more years.
