>They were no worse than any other kingdom at the time

Well it's more that they were in a position to employ more efficiently brutal tactics to further their interests. Mass deportations. Randomly raiding across the frontier and burning, raping and pillaging, which ironically caused the neighbouring tribes to coalesce into larger confederations like the Franks and Alamanni who later fucked them hard. Mass enslavement. Exterminating absolutely everybody in certain cities they conquered. It wasn't that these things weren't unheard of, but the Romans made them policy and didn't do them ad hoc.

>I think they would be fine with us fondly remembering them.

I always wonder how much perspective the ancients had when it came to their own position in the cosmos. I mean were the ones that saw the eventual fall of their civilization? Did they wonder how people would later see them? It's hard to say really. An interesting thought though.
