:ahem: Armenia (in the general geographical sense- such as the steppe nearby [t'was not Russia, Ukraine, or Kazakistan at the time]) continues to be one of the best candidates for the Indo-European homeland, which really trumps any Greco-Roman nonsense

in terms of culture and importance

No Armenia = No Rome if Armenia really was the Indo-European homeland.

So you think no other people could have had the same success, if Indo-Europeans had not been those who were there?

In the US, you mean perhaps? I do agree that Rome is more known, but many people here on the other side of the pond know of Armenia. Then again, I'm weak on knowledge of the many nations in the parts of the world that are remote, like the non-huge nations in central America and Asia.

No, but it does seem unlikely they would have had that success in the same place.
If you mean the Romans, that is, not the Indo-Europeans.

Empires come and go, and many were trying to create one at the time. If not for Roman dominance, I believe another dominant empire would have been created in the time period.
