In thinking about how to deal with an issue like a Roman, I came to a few conclusions:
- Romans have a very limited concept of defeat and failure. It is simply something that happens to others when a Roman decides what they want. The understanding that a Roman could fail on the battle field or an attempt at something else was difficult to wrap one's head around. They were so confident in their abilities that they offered gods (a seemingly higher power) the chance to defect in order to survive (seem a little cocky?). - Therefore, it would seem that Romans would have one of two opinions in regards to change or issues:
(a) Romans wouldn't have them. Why would one change or have a problem with a strong society that was successful already? Challenging the system wouldn't really make one a good Roman.
(b) They would adopt the same strategy as they do for battle. Completely overwhelm and annihilate any opposition.
- It seems that the actual issue would have very little to do with how it was dealt with. It would be systematic and effective.
