🔴 **Roma Eterna? Roman rule explains regional well-being divides in Germany**

_“...we develop and test the argument that the Roman occupation produced an advantageous positive economic imprint (e.g., investments in economic infrastructure and a trade culture), which in turn imprinted a deep, persisting adaptive macro-psychological profile. Both the economic and macro-psychological imprints co-evolved and continue to contribute to inequalities in adaptive personality traits and related health and well-being outcomes across Germany today.”_
