Haha

Caesarea in Israel was founded by the romans

There are ruins of the searport and other things they built

Makes sense

Makes sense there were Romans in Israel.

After all, they were the ones who nailed Jesus to a cross.

There should be way more cities in North Africa

The Romans were pretty woke on Africa it seems...

Carthago had many cities in africa already

Problem was when carthago was gone. Not many new cities were created

@ITS HE-MA'AM cartage got salty after the Romans deleted them

<:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>

True

Spartans were a bunch of cucks at least they defeated athens... once.. couldnt even defeat a bunch of theban gays.. entire greek city states got cucked by macedon

Alexander the Chad was too much to handle for the virgin greek states and the persian incel empire

It's true.

I have Meditations on my desk at home

@Fitzydog which copy?

I've been looking to buy that book and want to know the better translation to buy

idk, my dad got it for me. Let me check the translation

Shit, thought it was here. Guess it's in storage

oh ok

@Werlf It's the Dover Thrift edition

Easy to read translation, into modern english

ok

Oh yeah I know them

They published my edition of The Federalist papers

I didn't mind Penguin's translation, but I wish they had a hardcover

@Durtle02 I was thinking. Once I get enough money saved up. Commissioning a custom sword with basically a shortened blade that still looks like that of an arming sword with a falcata/kopis hilt. Because fuck historical consistency right?!

@Durtle02 Basically this but with a shorter blade.

quick powerpoint mockup

kek

Here we go

Probably even shorter honestly.

@galesteppes Opinions? Criticisms?

0/10

can't end people rightly

ah of course, how could I forget. I'll have to add an extra pommel below the hilt that screws off solely for the purpose of giving enemies their rightful ending.

Needs a cowbell off the pummel

Fun fact, the dude that invented fascism and that was the idol of Hitler and Mussolini had 2 of his lower ribs removed to suck his own cock

it was Marilyn Manson? 😮

Nope

That doesn't look balanced at all - looks very front-heavy

Many blades are front heavy to aid in chopping...

@Jabba @Goblin_Slayer_Floki @galesteppes I've been toying with it a bit. The first is a even short blade with a larger falcata hilt. The second is the same length as the one from last night, but with the extra hilt length.

I suppose it depends how practical it needs to be - if it's ceremonial, it can be anything you want.

Its all ceremonial to get around laws >_>

here's how to stop an enemy in their tracks

FIRE HARDENED SPEAR

the tip is hardened to maximum density

for frontal ACTION

thrust it into the enemy, and it penetrates deep

say good bye to life, enemy

SO EPIC

how primitive

fire hardened spear is like the most ancient ballistic weapon upgrade

Piss on the floor and let them slip

These figures kinda seem off, I wouldn't have thought that Germany lost a larger % than Serbia

Germany was fighting on multiple fronts though

Lotta land to bleed over

Yeah but the Serbians were litterally forced out of their country by invading armies and they then had to march across Albania all while suffering massive attrition.

less population as well though

Whats a good book on marcus aurelius stoicism? Ping me

@ITS HE-MA'AM Maybe the one he wrote himself?

@ITS HE-MA'AM @ITS HE-MA'AM meditations by Marcus Aurelius

Stoicism is pretty shit though.

Yeah

Consequences are very serious.

`"Watch", he is said to have declared, "so that you know how cheap the body is to men who have their eye on great glory"`

What is stoicism ?

What are your arguments against stoicism @EnderOctanus

@Militant You'd know if your society had any basis in Greek philosophy.

aka, if you werent a jew

@ITS HE-MA'AM it leads to unhealthy and unrealistic expectations that are impossible to realize, which if it were a thought experiment alone, would be fine

You cannot just strip away emotion, however, nor should you wish to.

But besides that there are two main camps, so I cannot fairly blanket it

Willpower alone can only get you so far

@Fitzydog jews got effected by Hellenic culture during the hashmonean kingdom

Adopted Greek as the second language since most of the known world spoke Greek that time adopted feasts during holidays their construction style let women become rulers etc

@EnderOctanus those are some solid arguments. Willpower is way too overrated you need a system to defeat addictions

Rationalism realism and pragmatism are the only ways

Well, I'm glad y'all gained something from the West.

The west is based on the judeo christian values and christian traditions mainly

And both were invented by jews

And why do you think that Greeks are part of the west ?

They are literally at eastern Europe

Because the Romans stole their culture

Because they're on the Western side of the sea from Turkey?

And the Greeks had some colonies west of Italy

And the greeks stole their culture and genetics from phoenicians kek

The Aegean sea is the dividing line

Is he claiming the jews invented everything, like the greeks always do?

the greeks invented autism

UwU

@EnderOctanus Yes, I believe he is

pretty fucking nuts how much effort went into a show that only played 30 times total

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEw8c6TmzGg&feature=share

there was a great video that i saw recently that showed just how warlike and power hungry the natives were, and it really puts things more into perspective about those times, and i think just that fact alone diminishes any justifiable outrage about Columbus. Unfortunately i cant find the video, but i'm sure any historical source of the native people people would be sufficient.

@AlanPowell The dude sought out preteen girls for sex slavery. Nothing can diminish his acttions. He was also in complete command of the expedition, sp EVERYTHING his men did, was PERMITTED by him, making him directly responsible for the rape of countless girls.

He even casually notes how popular the 8 year olds are, and how high of a price they go for.

I wouldn't give a shit if they only raped adult or even older teen women, because frankly that's just what people did back then. But they were fucking children even by the standards of the time.

we talked about this before

I frankly don't even care that they enslaved the women. Conquerors do that shit. But the kids.

the point i'm trying to make is if he was any worse than the other people around back then

That is a wilfull act of evil that no culture would accept, not even back then.

is that so?

It was criminal to rape children, yes.

You would be executed in Spain.

So they clearly did not see it as an acceptable spoil of war. The older girls were probably fine to do whatever with, they were property. But the people sent missionaries to convert the savages. You do not do that if you think they're literally just animals

ok

So there was also clearly a line to be drawn. If you can cohvert someone, then killing them is also murder. And raping them is also adultery. Just by a religious arguement alone.

true

I think much of what he did would have been acceptable. But he did shit way beyond the pale for an honorable person to do.

Rape was undoubtedly extremely common back then, but was kept quiet because it was disgraceful.

Colombus was disgraceful, therefore, not just because he did those things, but also because of the sheer SCALE at which he did them. The Pope did not give pardon to all sins like the crusaders. The people would have wanted him lynched if they found out and had any actual power. Superstition is a hell of a thing, don't want your city destroyed because a sodomizer of thousands walks through.

Missionaries didnt come until around his 3rd expedition. People who were not converted were seen as animals and lessers. Between his 3rd expidetion and his 4th his crimes were being counted due to now he was a governor, and the locals were being converted and deamed spanish citizens. He soon after (soon being relative as things happened back then) was stripped of titles, land, and prestige as punishment.

His first expidition he actually didnt commit any notable crimes of the time, as he actually did believe he was in the east indies, and wasnt completely sure if that was unclaimed territory yet. By the second he knew for sure and started the atrocities (many of which were not even crimes back then for before stated reasons as well as time frame.)

so which age was the line of rape in spain?

cock and balls

my ancestors

It was Romans that did that

Not a surprise tho, we've literally found cave paintings from the dawn of humanity of dicks

We found carvings of ancient "X was here," grafiti, so.

the Vikings did love to do that to.

great

In the bible, adam and eve repopulate the earth by having an insane amount of children, which then go on to create an offspring among themselfes.
That would be incestuous and supposedly impossible/incredibly harmful for a species, because of, you know, small gene pool.

Turns out tho, that modern humanity really descends from an incredibly small population, due to some catastrophe that let only a very small gene pool, which is also probably why incest is so damaging for humans

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toba_catastrophe_theory

<:think_woke:378717098681171988>

```The Toba eruption has been linked to a genetic bottleneck in human evolution about 70,000 years ago,[28][29] which may have resulted from a severe reduction in the size of the total human population due to the effects of the eruption on the global climate.[30] According to the genetic bottleneck theory, between 50,000 and 100,000 years ago, human populations sharply decreased to 3,000–10,000 surviving individuals.[31][32] It is supported by some genetic evidence suggesting that today's humans are descended from a very small population of between 1,000 and 10,000 breeding pairs that existed about 70,000 years ago```

@Fitzydog you're expecting too much of the autist

The story of who Thatcher did get the respect of SAS
SAS loved her: She backed us
By ANDY MCNAB, Sun Security Advisor

I MET Maggie three times when I was in the SAS — twice in Hereford and once on
her surprise visit to Northern Ireland.

Everyone loved her because she wasn’t afraid of using us — and she proved that
in her first year when she sent B Squadron into the Iranian Embassy.

She was given a counter-terrorism hostage demo on her first Hereford visit.

She sat bolt upright when the team came rushing into the Killing House
throwing flash-bangs and firing their machine guns at the targets.

One of her aides crouched down and she hissed at him: “Get up George — you’re
embarrassing us.” That gave her a huge amount of respect among the lads.

Then in 1987, Mrs T took us by surprise when she turned up at our Belfast
hangar. It was after the Brighton IRA bomb and the gloves were off.

I remember her asking us: “Tell me what you need to fight this war.” And we
got it.

Lady T looked after us, so we looked after her. She had real b*******, even
though she didn’t have any at all.

yeah, the rich can't help but think of the poor as different and unapproachable

especially back in orwell's day

i mean, I have trouble imagining it... so the way I see it is how the rich of the day likely saw it

"Being poor sucks, but that's what they were born into. We weren't."

and basically, they get annoyed and then lash out after hearing so many leftists talk about how bad it is

lol

leftists of the time period that is

`For the vast majority of European Crusader knights living in the 12th century Middle East, Leprosy came with a prognosis that included a priest, a pine box, and Fallout-style exile into the desert wastes. For Baldwin IV, the Leper King of Jerusalem, it was merely another seemingly-insurmountable obstacle that needed to be bitch-slapped into submission by the unrelenting backhand of his massive, disfigured leprous scrotum.`

i just noticed a that shitload of historical figures have CK2 portraits

Lol

CK2 the game where you can be historically accurate and at the time send the time line all out of wack
