It continued after few next emperors too.
@Mr. X Do you know which god's he was a son of?
I had a book on Roman mythology, but I don't remember them really describing deified Emperors, lol.
Augustus?
Oh he used that name for son of god meaning son of caesar
because caesar was the egyptian son god
and of course was the creator of a new world
I wonder if Alexander would be proud of him
Ah.
Good question.
I think they used his casus.
I think alex would be proud
Well they never did conquer territory as big, but Alexander greatly wasn't focused on Europe.
They had nuisance with Persians and Parthians, whom Alexander conquered.
I believe Empire was at its height during Traian and had much land in Asia then.
its not just about conquring
I mean like as a leader
Ah.
By the way Mr. E have you heard about Bactrians?
Name of camels came from them, which is only thing they're remembered from today, lol.
Hope you won't mind that.
No problem, I think he added me @National Trotskyist
The pan Iranian fellow right
And yes the Bactrian camels were named after ancient inhabitants of modern day tajikistan and Afghanistan​
Some speculate based on linguistics and archeological evidence they were the ancient ancestors of modern day Tajiks in Afghanistan and tajikistan
I'm surprised you know about that. Not many people care about the ancient history of Afghanistan and central asia
Yes, I've learned of them when I was reading on the pre-Turkic history of the so called Turkestan/Turan.
Bactrians, Sogdians, Pseudo-Tokharians/Kucheans & Agneans and Tokharians proper (Yuezhi/Kushans).
Pretty interesting stuff.
It just surprised me those nations disappeared almost completely.
Bactrians to my surprise, were influenced by the Greek regime so much, they adopted Greek alphabet to write their language.
It's only Iranic nations known to me which did this.
There were few nations which used Greek alphabet, like Anatolians, or Copts and Goths in modified form.
Bactrians? No clue.
It looks like the "Persian Princess" Alexander the Great had child with was actually one.
It's strange, because I had no idea of that.
Who was the child?
Roxane was the mother.
He was successor to Alexander the Great.
