One of the best parts of qresearch has been an renewed interest in ancient history.
This article might be of interest to anons. From what this anon has put together, the fall of Rome, as so widely romanticized, was really moar like the breaking of up the Standard Oil monopoly. Rome was broken into regions for optics, only to be reassembled when the "family" decided it was in the better interest of the empire. A little infighting, a little competition, but mostly a genuine awareness of cooperating to conquer.
Enjoy.
