Rome Reborn 1.0 "...world's biggest computer simulation of an ancient city."

I think it should help discover some of the questions. Fustel de Coulanges researched the "Ancient City" (1864) I've read in social anthropology. "in which he showed forcibly the part played by religion in the political and social evolution of Greece and Rome. Although his making religion the sole factor of this evolution was a perversion of the historical facts, the book was so consistent throughout, so full of ingenious ideas, and written in so striking a style, that it ranks as one of the masterpieces of the French language in the 19th century." Perhaps it is a warning, after which Rome fell...not to but perhaps why.
