Only infrequently is a foreign trainer so decisive in allowing a military force to achieve its main objectives, and Glubb and the Legion did themselves proud, leading to a distortion of Israeli priorities in handling the city's urban policy to this day. Had the Jordanians realized that the priorities of the indigenous Palestinian Jewish population of the Old City were different from those of the State of Israel in many respects, they might not have engaged in ethnic cleansing and created a situation in which the modern State of Israel is committed to the assertion of the property rights of the Council of the Sephardic Community to the detriment of some Palestinian refugees. I realize this is arcana, but it is important arcana, given the ultimately quixotic nature of the Jordanian intervention, which was primarily to secure the Old City for the Kingdom. The Old City and its prestige were secure, did it have to be emptied? (For anyone who thinks I am being excessively disingenuous, be advised that I lived in West Jerusalem for several years and am thoroughly acquainted with the sins and excesses of the modern State of Israel.)

Roman culture even survived the political collapse of the Western Empire.
