What faction did you play first?

[Tollheit]

To hell with political correctness, Romans and Seleucids were the two superpowers during the EB time period and they mattered the most. As the Seleucids declined, the Romans took their place. When comparing other nations with these two empires, those nations seem trivial. They still mattered, but not as much. That doesn't mean that we shouldn't study the other nations, its just that we need to understand the special place the Latin people held in that time period.

This is not about political correctness. It's more like "Victrix causa diis placuit sed victa Catoni", for me.

Edit: The victorious cause pleased the gods, but the defeated cause pleased Cato
