Friendly reminder that when Pyrrhus of Epirus went to Italy to help his allies, he was told that he'll be facing "some barbarians from the north". These barbarians were the Romans. Another reminder comes in the form that Rome itself, the Kingdom of Rome, was founded by what would later become (by Roman standards) mere Barbarians, thieves, bandits, murderers and people who were expelled from other settlements.
And most of the women who lived there in the early days had literally been abducted
Weren't the Romans at their height thieves and murderers their whole thing was killing people and taking their land and stuff
Fascists really do think that people somehow acted different in antiquity, that they were all aryan ubermensch who moved the heavens and earth when in reality they were still weird slobs just like they are today.
Not just a protip from a mural, but 7 murals telling you how to shit gooder.

They did have naked Olympics then orgies after. So, not wrong, just wrong about the reasons.
Fascists: :cheems: weah weah I want to kill someone for robbing a store because that's the only form of entertainment that will make my alienation feel less acute
Romans: :swole-doge: : whelp I'm only going to live to age 30 so I'm going to go have a week-long orgy and see how many Christians I can feed to a bear.
To be honest, this sounds healthier than modern day USA. At least people were touching grass
