I would probably say the Romans. They were more advanced for their time, and truly conquered everyone (exept us Scots of course ). The British empire was more of colonies spread all over the place, whereas the Romans simply ruled everyone on the continent.
There are 3 kinds of people: those who can count & those who can't.
Israel, they own the worlds governments, cause wars across the planet and never send their own soldiers to do their bidding.
Let them call me a rebel and I welcome it, I feel no concern from it; but I should suffer the misery of demons were I to make a whore of my soul. (Thomas Paine)
The British for me.
Just on pure land mass and populus,they far outweighed the Romans.
Anyone seen"Master and Commander"yet.
I'm too cheap to pay to see it,so I guess I'll wait until it's out on DVD.
For some reason DVD sounds a little sexual or is it just my fixations?
Wholley.
I am reading 'Master & Commander' at the moment, good book. The only odd thing about the film is It is called 'Master & Commander The Far Side of the World', Whereas in Novel format M & C is the first Aubrey & Maturin adventure and FSOTW is the tenth. Defenately some hollywood botching going on!
ahem... what I meant to say was... it has to be the British, like others have said they had the biggest and contorary to popular belief size DOES matter.
