From this perspective, the debasement and destruction of great families—and even of the national traditions they upheld—are acceptable outcomes. The middle classes of the era could not fail to welcome this holocaust when it was laid upon their altars. To see men who were heirs to the most august names—men whose fathers had won a thousand victories and a thousand provinces for the fatherland—reduced to peddling wares and playing the gladiator to earn a living; to see matrons, nieces of Collatin, reduced to subsisting on the bread of their lovers—these are spectacles not to be scorned by the sons of Habinas, any more than by the cousins of Spartacus. The only difference is that the coffin-maker portrayed by Petronius desires to reach this state gently and without violence, whereas the beast of the ergastulum savors the misery it has personally wrought—especially when that misery is steeped in blood. A state without a nobility is the dream of many an age. It matters not if the nation loses its pillars, its moral history, or its archives; all is well when the vanity of the mediocre man has brought the heavens down within his grasp.

What does the nation itself matter? Is it not better for diverse human groups to lose everything that might separate or distinguish them? In this respect, indeed, the Imperial Age stands as one of the finest eras humanity has ever known.
