A few articles came up this month about What Has Rome Done For Us. For us Brits: disease. Lately we're hearing of parasites up to Vindolanda.
An imperium with basic germ-theory might have worked better than it did. I take it that the Christians understood this and that's why they got converts in the classes most exposed to the nasty. Probably the Jews too which is how they were able to outbreed the Roman citizens in Cyrene, Cyprus et al. under Trajan.
