The document compares and contrasts aspects of culture between the Apache tribe and the ancient Romans, including their religious beliefs, forms of government, and military tactics. While the Apache had a spiritual belief system focused on ancestors and the Romans followed polytheism, both had forms of tribal/societal leadership. Their military approaches also differed - the Apache favored stealthy raids on horseback using bows and arrows, while the Romans organized disciplined legions and used phalanx formations. Though their practices varied in some ways, the document argues the Apache and Romans shared more similarities than differences as civilizations.
