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!

Re: If the Romans had Facebook
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.

Re: If the Romans had Facebook
But why did they not use it then? If they had had Facebook, they could have shared the soap with others.

Re: If the Romans had Facebook
Raiding party?
If I was Roman, I'd organize orgies. Just to honour Bacchus, of course.

That doesn't happen for another 800 years or so

These are: (1) The Moral Law; (2) Heaven; (3) Earth;
(4) The Commander; (5) Method and discipline.

Soap invented by Semitic peoples not European barbarians.
Re: If the Romans had Facebook
Yes but they seem to have forgotten about it.
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.

and conceals from the stupid,

Re: If the Romans had Facebook
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.
In those simple times there was a great wonder and mystery in life. Man walked in fear and solemnity, with Heaven very close above his head, and Hell below his very feet. God's visible hand was everywhere, in the rainbow and the comet, in the thunder and the wind. The Devil too raged openly upon the earth; he skulked behind the hedge-rows in the gloaming; he laughed loudly in the night-time; he clawed the dying sinner, pounced on the unbaptized babe, and twisted the limbs of the epileptic. A foul fiend slunk ever by a man's side and whispered villainies in his ear, while above him there hovered an angel of grace . . .

Oh yeah. I think it would have been cooler if the Romans had motorcycles.
