Why were the Romans traitors held in such a lower regrade? There have been many infamous traitors in the past. Some famous ones are Nero, Attila the Hun, the guy that betrayed Leonidas in Sparta and Lancelot.
Maybe Dante did see Romans in a higher light than the others. Betrayal of the first Roman Empire was just a little bit lower than the son of god. Maybe it was Dante who first believed the Romans weren't so bad and allowed the return on the arts.
