I think alot of People here are way to defensive about each side. Pro-Chinese, Pro-Roman etc .
Also, they time periods of each civilization was different. Rome's Golden age is much different then The Han Golden Age.
I live in a town/Village of 1,500 people, or if you want me to spell it 1 thousand 5 hundred.That's one small city. My home city is 6 million.
