I'm pretty convinced that the only reason Rome isn't remembered primarily as the first great slave empire and its downfall celebrated as a world-historic liberation is that we still live under the hegemony of the second great slave empire (I mean Western Europe and North America as a whole here) which is totally unwilling to wrestle with the way its power was and continues to be drawn from the blood and sweat of enslaved people

Imperial culture seems to be assimilative that way.

The Yuan dynasty of China was founded by Genghis Khan’s grandson but became no different from any other dynasty.

Egypt was conquered so many times by foreign warlords who named themselves “pharoah” before Augustus abolished the office.
