Well at least the new Amazon Lord of the Rings series will have one advantage, namely that many will re-read the good old books by JRR Tolkien, in order to cleanse their minds from this new age cashgrab, which, let's be honest, the series is most likely going to be. And when revisiting the old books, now through the eyes of someone who is fascinated with late roman history, I did notice quite some fascinating similarities between the kingdoms of the Numenoreans in Tolkien's wonderful legendarium, Anor and Gondor, and the Western and the Eastern Roman Empires of our own world. Might Tolkien have been inspired by the Roman Empire?
