OK, the Romans were warlike, had slaves and death matches in the Colliseum, and didn't treat women and whole classes of people very well, but they did have a few good points.

Homosexuality is observed across many species, including our own, and having lived in NYC most of my life, I couldn't imagine a world without "sexual perverts" of many sorts.

They were, and are, just people.
