In "Life of Bryan" the jewish people talk of all the benefits that the Roman ls brought them. How true is this? Did being conquered by Rome actually improve the lives of the people they conquered?
Our own u/Tiako has, over on r/badhistory, analysed the claims of that one scene from Life of Brian. As always, more can be said from anyone who can contribute, so if you'd like to give it a go, please do!
