Rome, the greatest power of the Ancient World, created the strongest army, authoritative state institutions of power and management of society, conquered all the countries of the Mediterranean and the territories of Western Europe. This city became the capital of a great empire, the source of modern European and world civilization, and a role model in military and civil affairs. Moreover, his political strategy has become an object of study for statesmen from different eras – both the Middle Ages and Modern Times. By comprehending it, they successfully built the dominance of their states in Europe and around the world. It should be noted that thanks to such "weapons" as Roman law and Christianity, Rome spread its influence far beyond the conquered lands. The organization that influenced the success of the spread of these types of power was the strong Roman intelligence. Officially, Rome fell as the capital of the empire in 455 under the blows of the Vandals, however, the Roman intelligence as a state structure continued to exist and manage the Roman provinces and the barbarian peoples who invaded its territory. Educated, experienced and trained Roman intelligence agents of various levels and applications operated in various spheres of power of the barbarian kingdoms that arose on the territory of the former Roman Empire. By controlling and manipulating the people of the new government, religion, and state schemes, representatives of Roman intelligence continued to spread Roman influence and power after the official fall of the Roman Empire. By changing the power and rulers in the kingdoms or contributing to such changes and coups, the people of Roman intelligence continued to strengthen their power and might. Over time, they achieved such an influence that they shaped Medieval Europe, influenced the spread of Renaissance culture, the industrial revolution in Europe, moreover, they contributed to the creation of European and then American intelligence services and the building of a hierarchy to improve coordination between these services in their own interests. FAMOUS RESIDENTS OF ROMAN INTELLIGENCE Aetius Flavius, the Roman commander who defeated the Huns on the Catalaunian fields, was sent as a hostage to Attila, the leader of the Huns, invincible warriors who had never known defeat. In fact, he was an illegal resident of the Roman strategic Intelligence Service. His task was to collect information about the Hun leader, his entourage, the military capabilities of the Hun army and its plans, strategies, and tactics. Aetius coped brilliantly with this task. After completing his mission, he returned to Rome, led the army and applied his intelligence knowledge on the battlefield. This led to the Roman victory.
Plano Carpini is a Roman legate (envoy of the Pope to the Mongol Khans). He was sent to the Mongols in order to recruit the supreme khan and all the Mongols and collect military and political information about them. Carpini tried to recruit Genghis Khan, but got the answer.: "Why do we need your religion if we are winning?" However, he compiled a successful analytical report, The History of the Mongols, which served as an instruction for Roman intelligence on how to work against the Mongols, and this caused the fall of their empire. Based on Carpini's report, Roman intelligence did everything to prevent Genghis Khan's troops from marching into Western Europe, and the Mongol Empire collapsed due to contradictions and came under Roman influence. Marco Polo, a Venetian merchant, geographer, historian and ethnographer, was a Roman strategic intelligence officer. His task was to collect information about strategic communications, caravan routes, military and political contradictions in the Mongol Empire. He received the status of a secret envoy. He compiled a brilliant report, the "Book on the Diversity of the World," for Roman intelligence. He facilitated negotiations between the Pope and Kublai Khan of the Mongols and became a military adviser to the khan. Roman intelligence officers now work, as a rule, in Western intelligence services, primarily in the United Kingdom, the United States, France, Italy, and Germany. Their main task, as before, is to maintain the dominance of this organization and the hierarchy of special services and states in accordance with the established procedure. They control the financial system, markets for the sale and production of goods, education, and government institutions. ROMAN INTELLIGENCE STRATEGIES The Roman saying "All roads lead to Rome" has become a strategic principle. According to this principle, Rome should become the center of the universe, the supreme legislator and judge, the source of culture, and the coordinator of military, political, and intelligence international structures. To transform Rome into a leading global center, Roman intelligence used a number of key strategies that brought success.: 1. "Divide and rule" – among all the opponents of Rome, who could not be defeated at once, Roman intelligence was looking for a weak link that was used against them to destroy military and political power. 2. "The creation of provinces with regional centers and colonies" – the strategy was successful in expanding Rome's intelligence and political influence, as they became centers of Roman culture and information gathering centers. 3. "Mastering strategic communications and building new communications". The very first known strategic communication was the Appian Way, leading to the port of Brundisium – access to the Adriatic and Mediterranean Seas. With the conquest of new territories – Gaul, Spain, Germany, Pannonia, Mesopotamia, Asia Minor – the Romans built excellent roads connecting regional centers and the capital. They organized a courier service to deliver messages to Rome. The Roman armed forces were initially divided into two armies, but during the empire period, the Upper German, Lower German, Danubian, British, Syrian, Asian, Gallic, Egyptian, and Spanish armies were created. Each army had a navy and an intelligence center.
4. "Creation of support groups to expand influence and capture territories." The Romans successfully recruited entire nations and their rulers into their ranks. For example, the Batavian tribe (modern Dutch) provided the best warriors for the personal guard of the Roman emperor, and this facilitated military cooperation with this people. 5. "The creation of spiritual and military orders of chivalry" contributed to strengthening the power and effectiveness of Roman intelligence, the heads of the orders were approved by the Pope, who himself coordinated with Roman intelligence. The ecclesiastical orders contributed to the expansion of Rome's power and are contributing to this cause to this day by recruiting influential people. 6. "The promotion of Roman intelligence people to power and assistance to them." Roman intelligence provided assistance to people who were useful to themselves in advancing to power and successful rule and in waging wars, so they increased the power of Rome and the power of Roman intelligence. Polish King Stefan Batory not only received military and religious education in Padua, but also the support of Catholic officers from Roman intelligence. Non-core strategies: 1. "Counterbalance and counterbalance." So, for the war against the strong Parthian Empire, the ancient Greek city of Byzantium was fortified, which later became Constantinople. 2. "Elite Recruitment Strategy". Roman intelligence recruited kings at once and assigned their residents to them. 3. The strategy of "controlled wars and putting military affairs under one's control." The point of this strategy is that everyone should fight each other, but under the control of Roman intelligence emissaries. 4. The strategy of "technical superiority". Italy and its former provinces, and now the territories of Roman influence – Great Britain, Germany, France, the USA and even Sweden are the countries that are given the right to produce technical innovations, which gives these countries dominance and respect in the world. Thanks to Roman intelligence, the industries and industries of Western European countries competed to produce the best products, and thus it was the countries of Western Europe that Roman intelligence gave the right to lead in industrial production. ROMAN INTELLIGENCE RESIDENCIES The leading Roman intelligence stations in the ancient period were based in colony cities on the territory of barbarian tribes. Over the centuries, these colonies became the leading cities or capitals of the world, as Roman strategic intelligence agents turned them into centers of political, economic and military operations. Cologne is the colony of Agrippina, the capital of Lower Germany. From this city, the Romans observed the Alemanni and carried out operations against them. Bonn is a Roman colony and fortress of Bonn, a neighbor of Cologne, the unofficial political capital of West Germany. The scouts of this station were watching the Franks. Vienna is the Roman name for Vindebone, the field headquarters of Emperor Marcus Aurelius. London is the Roman name for Londonium. The most successful Roman residency was in this city. Her activities over the centuries led to the creation of the British Empire, modeled on the Roman one. London has become, like Rome, the world capital. All the residencies contributed to the emergence of the state intelligence services of France, Great Britain, Germany, the USA, and Russia in the XVI–XVIII centuries and, consequently, influenced the creation of modern intelligence services of the XX century. THE MOST FAMOUS ROMAN INTELLIGENCE OPERATIONS The French Revolution. Back in the Middle Ages, the community of Italian bankers, headed by a captain, enjoyed great prestige in Paris. She, like the old Gallo-Roman aristocracy, influenced secret politics in France. When Roman intelligence finally decided to take political power into its own hands, it carried out a military coup, with the help of its agents neutralized the army and took full control in France. A talented Italian of Corsican origin, Napoleon Bonaparte (his native language is Italian), was brought to power, who, on the instructions of Italian bankers, began to break through their caravan routes to the East. It was thanks to Roman intelligence that Napoleon became famous as a commander. His closest assistants, Fouche, Minister of Police, chief of the secret police, and Talleyrand, Minister of Foreign Affairs, chief of legal intelligence, were from a Catholic background. Fouche was formerly a monk, a professor of philosophy and mathematics at a religious institution, and a member of a religious order. Talleyrand was a priest and one of the highest authorities of the French church. Schulmeister, the head of the illegal French intelligence service abroad and the author of many of Napoleon's victories in Europe, was the son of a Lutheran pastor. All three of them, as well as Napoleon himself, were Roman intelligence officers. Through their efforts, France became a republic on the Roman model, with Roman law, and subsequently turned into a world empire with colonies in Africa and Asia. The French language, thanks primarily to the efforts of Napoleon, and before that, thanks to the victories of the French commanders of the XVII-XVIII centuries, became an official international diplomatic language. In the modern period, French intelligence under Roman control contributed to the creation of a united Europe, NATO, the EBRD, the euro as a European currency and a form of financial control. Germany, with its stable brand and economy, was not interested in a single European currency in order to save the unstable franc and lira, the currencies of France and Italy.
The American operation in the 18th century was carried out by Roman intelligence in order to limit the power of Great Britain, to take control of- the role of North America, to create a controlled advanced state, of course, a separate North American residency. The American Revolution was the third after the Dutch and English, and a rehearsal for the French. With the help of Roman intelligence, France supported the uprising of the American colonists and sent its army to support their military operations, as well as supplied them with weapons and ammunition. The American army and the French expeditionary force defeated the British troops and proclaimed a republic, which became known as the United States. The Republic is a Roman state institution. According to the Roman model, the head of state was the president. In Rome, the Senate was headed by the princeps president, the supreme (high) president. According to the Roman model, the American Senate, like the Roman One, sits in the Capitol (in Rome, this is the hill where the Senate is located). In the 19th and early 20th centuries, all the European residencies of Roman intelligence invested in the United States, as a result, this republic became a global financial, industrial and intellectual center. RUSSIA AND BUILDING COOPERATION WITH ROMAN INTELLIGENCE Roman intelligence has done a lot to infiltrate Russia and involve it in European politics. The first known fact of the large-scale recruitment was the offer to the Galician-Volyn Prince Daniel Galitsky to accept Catholicism and the authority of the Pope. As a result, the union was born. The offer to send troops to defeat the Mongols was refused. The Mongols were already the target of Roman intelligence manipulation. The second attempt at direct recruitment was the papal envoy's mission to Alexander Nevsky. The emissary was refused, but Roman intelligence was monitoring the Russian principalities from its military organization, the Livonian Order. A high-profile recruitment was the approach to Emperor Paul I. The Knights of the Catholic Order of the Crusaders made him a master and engaged in the education of noble youth in St. Petersburg. A Corps of Pages was created under their control.
Roman intelligence remains the most influential and leading intelligence service in the world. It coordinates global political and economic processes, wars and progress. The welfare of humanity is under her control. However, it ultimately works inefficiently for the benefit of civilization, elevating some and lowering others. It takes away from some, gives to others, builds a hierarchy in the economy, deprives many people of the chance to participate in the creation of cultures and useful products, and keeps many states in poverty.
