Hi dtw,
Can understand what you're saying but figure that not all the Italian race had the same ideals
as those that were trained to ' conquer ' and develope other lands, by their generals and mainly
their Empora 's who functioned from Rome itself. Think the Legions who fought their way across
many countries were called Romans for that reason -- possibly ?
Any other ideas on the subject would be of interest.
Thanks dtw,
