Also, Romans were fricking horrible at selecting rulers. They'd have a psycho ruling the empire, he would get assassinated, and they'd just appoint another psycho to be assassinated a few years later.
Or the army would just declare whoever promised to pay them as Emperor, because men who would stoop to bribery are the perfect type of person to rule an empire...

I read that Martin says one of his main inspirations was not fantasy, but a series of novels set in medieval France, little known or read in the English language. Les Rois Maudits (The Accursed Kings) was written by Maurice Druon between the mid-1950s and the 1970s. It's a seven-volume saga chronicling the dynastic fight for the French throne in the early part of the 14th Century, culminating in the Hundred Years War.
I bought the first one now called The Iron King, but haven't gotten around to reading it yet.
