If you wanted to point to the place in the world today that most resembles the Roman
Empire, it would be the United States of America.
The parallels between the United States and the Roman Empire are endless.
And our founding fathers of this country, they even wanted it to be up.
I mean, they patterned all the architecture in the capital after Roman style architecture.
It's all Greco-Roman buildings and monuments and statues of gods and goddesses that are
the emblems of our nation's capital itself.
And not only that, but the mottos of our nation are in the Latin language, "E Pluribus Unum,"
right?
And all kinds of Latin inscriptions are found in Washington, D.C.
Not only that, the monuments that are engraved with English inscriptions are written in the
Latin-styled letters, you know, they're carved.
And so we see all the parallels between the United States and the Roman Empire.
Not only that, but the Roman Empire had a legislative body known as the Senate.
And what do we have?
The Senate, right?
And we could go on and on with those parallels.
And we today have a world military empire.
We are the only nation in the world that has an empire to this scale.
We spend more on military than I think the next ten countries combined.
We have bases in over a hundred and fifty different countries.
We have a world wide military presence.
