While this video is titled 10 Horrifying facts, it reads like 10 Reason the Roman Legions were affective with some horrifying aspects. In particular how are military training, weapons, tactics and sea battles on land horrifying? The fact the romans trained, developed weapons and tactics that played to their strengths is not horrifying. Now crufixations are horrifying.

They also perfected the insertion of nepotism and graft into the political system. And sadly we have adopted and enhanced their model.
