It's hard to deny the Romans.
All Romantic languages (most European languages: Spanish, French, Portugese, Italian, and even some English) descend from Latin (the Roman language). Huge chunks of our law system, religion, world view, and government are directly inhereted from the Romans.
Of course, the American period isn't over, so we have no idea how much we will hand down.....

Nope you're not alone...but I imagine you are few and far between.
Not because the Romans weren't cool or anything, just because most people today rarely take the time to think about the past. It's a shame really, if we all did that, we could learn so much.

Depends on your definition of great, they certainly were impressive, but how can you justify their greatness without ceding the fact that they were standing on the shoulders of others.
It all depends on perspective, by and large, the homosexual community considers the ancient Greeks to be the greatest society.
While the french consider voles to have achieved societal greatness.
