High school historian perspective: I don't know; compare their conquest to the greek's. Greek civilians thought of Rome as "the light of the world," even though their wealth was used in much the same way.

That's the complexity. The Roman invasion did enrich their society (as did the Greek before), yet all none of the dead people got any of it and many individual lives were completely destroyed even if not literally terminated.
