A very liberal professor at Cambridge University and so called "expert" on Roman empire and all things ancient Rome wrote a op-piece primarily for the Wall Street Journal but her article was picked up in many papers. She says that the current migratory problems being seen in Europe would of been dealt with much differently by the Romans who were masters at adapting new people and transforming them into productive citizens. Her ridiculous article can be found herehttp://www.wsj.com/articles/ancient-rome-and-todays-migrant-crisis-1445005978 Ms Beard said the Roman Empire through the first thousand years of its inception had principles of the free movement of people and its gradual absorption. I don't know if this woman realizes that it is a modern world with mass killing opportunities and where terrorism equates power and in no where in this woman's column does she mention Muslims. Romans did not have to dealt with a power base that sought to overthrow the system with their own religious order and for this failure of this woman not to see this and the deleterious ability of modern day religious fascism and the free movement of people long subjugated by this thinking makes her argument moot. This woman doesn't know what she is talking about in the present day and is stuck in Roman times. Ms beard needs to walk across the quad and speak to Ha-Joon-Chang in the economics department and learn something about a nation and peoples defending their economies and infrastructure from foreign rule and law. The crisis that Europeans face in modern times is nothing from what the Romans had to deal with as this is an invasion from poverty stricken people who believe they have all the answers and God on their side to conquer people into their way of believing either through arms or mass breeding that could only be achieved by returning women to a status one notch below the camel or horse in property and rights. I really think this woman needs to quit concentrating on Roman past and just take a study on Islamic history and see it as a sneak peak of what is in store for Europe if people like her had its way and allowed a mass movement and cultural transformation to take place. This woman is not that dumb and she knows what would occur that is why no where in her article about migration did she mention Islam.
