did roman citizenship cost the empire?
Dorcas claims that had Rome held its foreign conquests as equal treaty states and forbidden foreign immigration and Roman citizenship it could very well have remained a great and enduring power.
“I can't prove this claim, nobody can,” says Dorcas, “but you only have to look at Japan and China to see that nations which stringently maintain social, cultural and religious cohesion by repelling immigrants and protecting citizenship remain intact!"
"It took about 300 years for Rome to become unrecognizably Roman -- racially and culturally --even to the point of having African emperors," says Dorcas. "The Roman religion had been supplanted by Middle Eastern Christianity, intermarriage had just about wiped out the indigenous Roman race, and the Roman Empire was disintegrating because there were too few indigenous Romans left to care."
