I never bought RTW because to be quite honest, I NEVER FOUND THE ROMAN PERIOD interesting WHATSOEVER. Kinda like how I see ancient Egypt or ancient asian culture, a complete waste of my studying time.
Roman history leading into Byzantine history is some of the most interesting and important periods in european history, if you dont like Roman history its hard to see how you could like history at all.

RTW is a massive disappointment alone its a 7/10 at best but due to all the hype it got it doesnt even deserve 5/10 total letdown.
