And plese don't compare the Mongols with the Romans. Just look at how people remember the two. Romes Empire streched from (in their own words) "Britannia to Arabia". Even today, in all their former territories they are remembered with fondness. What do people remember about the Mongols. Lots of severed heads and raped women.
