Hello everyone!
Recently, we finished discussing the history of Rome in school, but one question I didn’t get an answer to stuck in my head.
I can’t help but wonder, do you well knowledgeable historians think that Rome was better off as part of an empire or as a republic? Why do you think so? Educate me!
This submission has been removed because it violates the rule on poll-type questions. These questions do not lend themselves to answers with a firm foundation in sources and research, and the resulting threads usually turn into monsters with enormous speculation and little focussed discussion. Questions about the "most", the "worst", or other value judgments usually lead to vague, subjective, and speculative answers. For further information, please consult this Roundtable discussion.
For questions of this type, we ask that you redirect them to more appropriate subreddits, such as /r/history or /r/askhistory.
