Rome did not fall. Rome dispersed.

Every facet of your life, from the food you eat, to the governments you elect, to the language you speak derives from the legacy of Rome.

Remove the concept of epoches and ages from your mind. There are no set epoches, only the perpetual flow and adaptation of culture. And what a volatile phenomena this flow and adaptation is.

Rome did not conquer the known world, people did, using the word 'Rome' as a device of collective identity. People still live, people still conquer. Everything has adapted, but nothing has changed.
