1. The exploitation of the silver to gold ratio depleted Roman silver supplies as the creditor oligarchy exported coinage to India & the east. There the ratio was as low as 4:1 & 12:1 in Rome.
2. European gold & silver supplies were exhausted around 26BC. There was little plunder left available.
3. The role of debt was a monumental factor in Rome’s rise & fall. An aggressive & brutal creditor oligarchy had sought land monopolization as they seized land as collateral for unpaid debts. Their actions have led many to conclude that life within the empire was like “hell on earth.”
4. The church & the state also hastened Rome’s decline as they sought tribute & taxes.The sheer brutality of the regime can be well summed up by Emperor Severus telling his generals to “enrich the men, scorn all others.”

Gwynne-Robson has heard plenty of momentary requests to die.”It’s not uncommon for a patient to say, ‘If I had a gun I would shoot myself,’ or ‘Doctor, can you give me pill,’ and the correct response to that, I think, is to ask what the problem is and explore that. The vast percentage of the time you start to address the issue of concern and that request disappears.”His stance is not unusual, with other palliative care heads having already spoken out in an attempt to paint a picture of how palliative care can already provide a painless death.

If one studies the archetypal ideals of the hero’s journey (a hallmark of the male power fantasy), what we almost always find are stories of self sacrifice. Power for most men is meant to be used in service to others; to protect and to provide for those who cannot protect themselves. This symbolism is found everywhere in literature, television and movies centered on powerful and popular male figures. Rather than being “toxic,” men are compelled by their inherent relationship to power to achieve something greater for all the people around them.
This is not to say that there are no men with twisted motives. History is splattered with male rulers who have abused their authority and committed a host of atrocities. These men, however, are the exception to the rule. The majority of men desire a chance at heroism and adherence to a moral code. We used to call it “chivalry”, the opposite of villainy.
