Different situations. America doesn’t have the history that Rome had and has, and the system works much differently then it did in Roman times. The Romans had a substantial population of ‘non-Roman’ citizens in their borders, whereas the US considers citizenship to work differently.

You couldn’t *just* become a Roman by being on the Roman side, and frankly the American system is better.

Gotta disagree.
The USA is not the Roman Empire, but we’ve reached a similar state with an overstretched military, an indolent population anesthetized by “bread and circuses,” a chronically bankrupt government, and very large alien population.
If we don’t change the variables soon, we’ll go the same way.
