Would you rather be a land-owning citizen in Rome or Persia circa 531 AD? .

If you were a landowning noble in Parthian/Sassanian Persia, you were pretty much a Proto-Knight trained from birth given the existence of feudal cavalry there.

So yes. Better that than some fatshit Italian villa owner.

Persia was more religiously tolerant but probably more authoritarian. Persia was like the "egalitarian" communist bloc and Rome the capitalist "free world".

Rome at that time was more like modern day Germany.

In the sense of being overrun by and having to pander to Semitic religion after formerly being a bastion of European culture?
