Brexit was obviously a bad move, any economist agrees with this statement. This room Is useless

Lol. Anyone that has a minimum culture can say that

Who cares?

This doesn't mean you have cultuee

LOL

You are saying a lot of bullshits rn

White people is generic and Asian people have the same amount of culture

Hi! As the name implies I'm not smart. I'm here mostly to learn and practice English and learn about stuff

@Magneto ✌ nothing looks better with clothes on

Anachronistical gladiator

Yup

Not really good

This is a thraex gladiator

It's a thraex gladiator. It's a class of gladiator that represents the Thrace warriors

Spartacus was a Roman condemned "ad ludum"

This is why Spartacus Warrior managed to win various battles against the Roman empire

I don't remember @Magneto ✌

Not really

It was because of Gaio Mario

That revolutionized the army and also improved the tactics

Almost no film is historically correct

Yes

But adapted to the Roman scutum

Scutum is the shield

BTW now I'm studying gladiators, they are actually pretty cool

Did you know that there were woman gladiators aswell?

Well i can tell you something about that aswell

In fact the Roman gladiator traditions is splitter in 2: west and east

In the west part of the empire gladiator often represented wars or soldiers, this can be seen in their Graves

While in the east they mostly represented myths and the epic litterature

@Magneto ✌ and other fun fact. There is a recorder match between 2 female gladiators called respectively "Amazone(Amazon) and Achillia(female Achille)"

Amazon's were the top of Roman erotic litterature and culture

Yeah but Romans took a lot from etruschians aswell

The first gladiators were etruschians and the whole gladiator tradition until the 1/2 century was really similar to the etruschian

1/2 century bc

Fun fact: not all gladiators were slaves

In fact, a little part was made of volunteers

Both males and females

Mostly males of the lowest social classes

No

And that was a shame because they actually had a really similar Training

@Magneto ✌ you see, the gladiators were seen as the lowest possible class in all rome

On pair with prostitutes

So they were loved inside the arena, but hated outside

In fact, most of time (like 80% of the time) the population wanted the gladiators to live because they were loved

But on the other hand, they were sometimes hired as bodyguards or private armies

Before the various reforms to prevent private armies

Another fun fsct: they got laid

A lot

The sex appeal of the gladiators had NO MATCH

@Magneto ✌ a wife of a senator (the second highest charge of the state) fleed with a gladiator in a romantic escape

They even got their own fan girls writing stuff on the walls

And they answered saying how big was their Gladius and such

This caused a lot of jealousy from various romans

I have the book I'm reading in the other room

Let me get it so I can make you see the photo

@Magneto ✌ they were miserable, not wanting to fight and forced

But it had also some upsides

This is a tintibullanum (wind chime) representing a gladiator cutting his own dick head

Nope @Magneto ✌ a dog

This is a criticism towards the gladiator promiscuity

No no, it's just a criticism

It's a symbolism for castration

I like Roman history

I don't like death metal

It's just noise to me

pop is such a wide genre

In pop we have lindsey stirling and justin bieber

again, pop is really a wide genre

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MCjU-Du3eI this can be considered pop

I personally listen to almost everything

but for the wrong reasons

I can't stand Rap with really rare exceptions, Trap, Hardcore metal and some of the most extreme electro music

@citrus i only listen music that reminds me something

It can be a song that tells a good story or a particular melody

But i don't really "like" anything

also, yeah

I could give you some songs but are in italian

I know tachanka, kalinka and the USSR national anthem

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wOSHpJrm_M

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4841jZx7Gc this is a re-intepretation of english ballads

this is the original version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ge5nGAq_yw

I also like musics that reminds me their own music videos

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmi-MtP969M like this one

@Bozgor honestly, fascists do still exist

I think that both deserve a day

Not trying to be mean or anything, but if we are going to attribuite a month to anything important we should have more than 200 months

Let's think about it for a second.

Women rights month, Pride month, Death soldiers month, Work month, A month for the indipende of the usa or the country you are in, a month for the memory of the jews and other minorities in ww2. We already have 7 months

And those would be secular months

Or just be a thing shared around the world?

no i don't.

all i'm saying is that they dont' deserve a whole month.

If they did deserve a whole month anything would

Because gay rights aren't more serious than women rights, memory day
