Are you kidding me?
Rome wouldn't just have conquered, they would have razed everything. Imagine how pissed Julius Caesar would've been if Vercingetorix unfriended him!
They didn't need Facebook to become fat, lazy and lose to a bunch of unwashed barbarians.
Which also proves that not washing yourself is a superior lifestyle.
EXCUSE me - those "barbarians" invented soap!Quote:

Raiding party?
If I was Roman, I'd organize orgies. Just to honour Bacchus, of course.

The Romans got it from the Gauls, along with quite a lot of their other technologies.
If the Romans had facebook we might be ruled by Aztecs.
A bit of googling suggests that the first known makers of soap were the Babylonians. However, the ingredients would be readily available to pretty much any culture that could kill animals and burn wood. For all we know, the first bar of soap may have been clutched in the hand of a bathing Neanderthal.
Oh yeah. I think it would have been cooler if the Romans had motorcycles. :rtwyes:
hannibals farm(ville) would be trampled by his pet elephants
