e pluribus unum: common fate

A common fate is rational if two elements have same fate, hence who are two entities, simple the Roma empire and USA, that to common have alone some characteristic, but that is important to understand the same human and politic behavior, the motto “e pluribus unum”, this is from much one alone, that is written on the American dollars is three Latin words that have a mean very important, and it is the first important motive of this assay; because the Roman empire, with distinctions both historic and economic tie these two historical phenomenon, the first, the Roman empire wasn’t a country, but during its beginning it was a village, that after is become Rome, but the extension of Rome in the Latium, involves other villages, no certainly peoples, that then are distinct for name and race, but race then was a concept very different by today, with race meant the belong to other village, other family, because the racial differences then wasn’t known, because the village were crowd by white people. Anyway some common habit unify these two geographical and human entities; it is can seems very strange, since the differences for the language, and for time, but if we think around some point, we find affinities; the extension of Roman empire, certainly was the duple of actual USA, but although the USA is more small than Roman empire, it has common things, the question is, what? Simple the first is the tolerance toward the religion, that Rome respected always, because remove a religion is worse that impose a new law, and Rome it known perfectly, therefore every people can kept its religion, inclusive the Christian, the persecution is alone a exaggerated historical tell; the Christin then were so scant that they not represented a danger. A document on 17 June 1774 form House of Represent of USA asks: “Rights and Liberties, civil and religious”, because the being born country has had same awareness that the religion was an identity for the human gender, hence this point nobody could not deny; in fact today in  USA the religions are different and tolerated all; second the political opinions that are different today, both between the principal parties and other, in ancient Rome same behavior, the civil war during the first century b.Ch. is example, but this war occurred alone in Rome, because the whole empire was absolutely pacific; also because the news around this war has had alone in Rome, because out nobody known something; in fact the source principal for this war is Caesar and his De bello civili, this is Around the civil war, I think that whole generations of resident in Roman empire both before and after this war have lived without know something.  It isn’t equality element, because the civil wars are frequent in much countries, whereby we can’t consider it, but we can, or better, we must consider the racial difference that Rome known after the conquest of North Africa, that Rome enclosed without racism, because Rome considered alone the personal qualities and no the racial belong; today the same behavior is used in USA, the personal qualities are valued, without racial belong or religion, and Rome made the same; hence the common destiny that has unified two entities.
