    Eh, the Romans plagiarized nearly everything from the Greeks, only replacing the gayness with chauvinism. Two stars. Out of ten.

      Nah, the Romans were just as gay, and arguably less chauvinist, depending on how you define chauvinism. Certainly, the Romans were less sexist than the Athenians, more accepting of freedmen than any major Greek society, and more accepting of outsiders and foreign ideas.
