Newspapers did not exist back then. If they did, you would read about odd events in the northern areas of Europe, or in the east near Byzantine. Or any number of places within the Roman Empire. Or... even better... some really nasty stuff they did down in Carthage... don't compare the US "empire" to that of the Romans. There is simply no comparison. The Romans commited atrocities daily, and then brought "civilization" to the survivors (unless they were Carthaginians). The US has certainly done some disreputable stuff over the Last few decades, but nothing to the scale that the Romans did.
