Re: Traction bars
Romans were just people living at a particular time in history and did not know or care that they would be remembered.
But Edward Gibbon spent years researching and writing "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire".
If not for Gibbons work, we may not have ever known about this important time in human history.
So which is more important, the Romans for just living their lives, or Gibbon for doing the work to pass on that history to future generations?
I personally don't look at either one of them being more important than the other. They were just people, at different times in history, doing what they do.
Get it?
