Quote from Pa(b)st Prime:
Economic conditions were a bit worse during the fall of Rome than what we're seeing now. Chariot sales plunged 50% in 476-I remember going to a gladiator contest at the Colosseum that summer and the place was dead as a morgue. I still say if the Bank of Rome had eased earlier the crisis could've been mitigated.
Did they do a bailout of the chariot makers?
