Christianity is what caused downfall for the Romans...
We would no doubt be better off with the Romans, though they did destroy the Library of Alexandria putting us back a Thousand years....and I guess so did the Romans Downfall all together...

IIRC, the Romans did burn the main Library complexes but the Alexandrian library survived through its Serapeum annex. The Serapeum, since its a temple dedicated to Isis and the rest of the Egyptian, was BURNED DOWN by them over-zealous Christians.

B]What if Hannibal had decided to seige Rome and didnt give the Romans to regroup after decimating its armed forces at Cannae?[/B]

Well to be honest I'm not that educated in Roman Era but from what I've learned I believe that Hannibal didnt have the manpower to sack Rome. [

He had no Siege Equipment, and his tactics on open field would't help him here
