Construction worker LARPing is the only IE approved LARPing

Roman LARPing is an American tradition

"This is the closest I'll get to a 'This is Sparta' moment" ~ Corey Booker at Senate hearing.
They can't even let us have Spartans without trying to steal it. 😒
random aside, y'all ever find it funny how greeks larp as Spartans yet Spartans never considered themselves even greek 😅
@Deleted User Wasn't aware that they didn't consider themselves Greek, but yeah, it is ironic, given that modern Greece is pretty much Magna Athena.
to my recollection, they considered themselves as a distinct group (I beleive from the north) seperate from the rest
Their mythos had them as descendants of some great people or something
Huh. Kinda like the Trojans, I guess.
I'll relook at it
This is probably close to what Latin actually sounded like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Np5v6n3lxmI
@TylerHess The virgin Roman vs. the chad Indo-European:

Lol

this is probably wrong, but is cool nonetheless
Ben Hur-Hur-Hur...
@Deleted User That is a cool march, though.
we do know that Romans did marching songs
@Deleted User well no one really had a Greek Identity at the time. They identified as Athenians, Spartans, Acadians, etc
When I find what I was referencing again I'll send it, but if anything they were Dorian (northerly migrated) and their mythos is the main thing they emphasized.
The best documentation of Roman soldiers singing on the march was during Triumphs, and they were usually used as entertainment to the crowds or veneration/comedic mocking of their commander and was more celebratory than militaristic. We know they sang occasionally, and we have a good guess of how it sounded based on their syntax etc, but yeah, the Ben hur clip is absolutely incorrect. Still a great clip though

My mom who has voted Democrat since Bill Clinton claims to be cool with Republicans. She describes herself as a Barry Goldwater republican
I didn’t know much about the guy. Apparently she supports segregation and Libertarianism
Noice, she’s more based than I thought
