Hadrian - the Greatest Emperor.
I'm always amazed that they only talk about the faggoty Romans like ceaser, Nero or commodus.
Why not talk about Cincinnatus or Marcus Aurelius or Scipio or yes even Hadrian?
because they spent the last thousand years(likely much longer) trying to eradicate anything resembling virtue
The Byzantines had a war with Jews "Bands of Jews from Jerusalem, Tiberias, Galilee, Damascus, and even from Cyprus, united and undertook an incursion against Tyre, having been invited by the 4,000 Jewish inhabitants of that city to surprise and massacre the Christians on Easter night. The Jewish army is said to have consisted of 20,000 men. The expedition, however, miscarried, as the Christians of Tyre learned of the impending danger, and seized the 4,000 Tyrian Jews as hostages. The Jewish invaders destroyed the churches around Tyre, an act which the Christians avenged by killing two thousand of their Jewish prisoners. The besiegers, to save the remaining prisoners, withdrew." -wikipedia quote
