Colosseum
One of the most recognized ancient monuments in the world, the Colosseum, the original name of which is the Flavian Amphitheatre, is the largest structure left to us by Roman antiquity. Inaugurated in 80 CE and used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles, the enormous venue could hold an estimated 50,000 to 80,000 spectators at various points in its history.
Rome is a great wonder of ancient times, of how a mere small village then in 300BC could rule most of Europe & North Africa, became an empire & brought forth idealism & capabilities to latter descendants & fellow Humans spread Worldwide even today.
However, the most relevant idiom from Rome was ' When in Rome, do as the Romans do'. Romans were an exclusive free democratic People back in those days, learnt from the Greeks about democracy & do not take kindly to strangers, even foreign kings whom begged for Roman support, as they knelt to no one before Republic Rome was destroyed by petty feuds from others within.
The idiom's relevancy lays in the keyword - Assimilation. If one could speak Latin, behaved as free man & follow Rome's social norms of those days, contribute to Rome, he/she would be welcomed. Such traits. in context such as adoption of new lingo & culture, would help foreigners assimilate into any country in this modern World that they had fled from, which had not brought them opportunities they desired, & worse-must not bring those FAILED cultures into any land that they had escaped from into a new nation that they seek to progress, to further contaminate & destroy the future of their next generations...

The democracy and freedom only works for the romans. Not the colonies.
To win a election you need money either as a politician with businesses backing you, or join the army like Caesar.
Land and loot conquered are shared between the ranks. The losing communities are enslaved.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do
When in Rome, do as the Romans do, or a later version when in Rome, do as the Pope does, is a proverb attributed to Saint Ambrose.
