You are still our small cousins... you need romans protection...

Nah. I think that a few N. Europeans and some Slavs believe that we have inferiority complexes because they think highly of themselves, and because we defend our European heritage against them and others who try to take it away. They misunderstand this natural defense of our heritage as envy and OWDness.

Sure we are.
You are 80 million with your diaspora, maybe more.
We are hardly 17m.

Let's be honest: the Greek innovations in science, art, philosophy and logic were the founding moment of European civilization.
The Romans were quite different. They didn't care of fundamental research, they saw philosophy as an idle pastime for effete urban snobs. In arts they never invented anything new, they merely produced serially made copies of Greek models.
On the other hand the Roman used Greek breakthroughs in geography and astronomy to conqueer the Mediterranean world. They used Greek mathematics and geometry to build their cities, roads and aqueducts.
The Romans were all about applied technologies, not science.

In short, the Greek were the French or Germans of the Ancient world.
The Romans were the Americans of that time.
And Greece became just a minor component of the Roman NATO.

The pics speak for themself...


Etruscans taught most of the things to ROMANS.. Greeks arrived much later
Etruscans had nothing to do with Greeks... maybe they were the seapeople who destroyd Egypt 1.300 B.C..





I know that Romans loved warfare...
