I want to know how much the Romans stole from Germania. If we're going to track down every historical wrong (as long as it's a European/British/American historical wrong), and see it made right, we need to know how much the Romans stole and what it's worth in current money. Then I expect Italy to make reparations to Germany.

I'm not unsympathetic or unaware of what India went through when it was occupied. Obviously imperialism is wholly unacceptable. But we seem to be revisiting historical wrongs with a particular selectiveness.
