Holy Shit
Can you not speak in enlightenment narratives
or is that impossible
Lmao
Im being serious
I have seen people make hypothesis on why, but to make a claim like that....
Im sure your Veiw of Julius Cesar is based on what Shakespeare wrote about him as well
Nope
I got to crash
The fact julius abandoned the republics law and didnt reliquish power was the start. But it was a slow fall. Compounded by the split of east and west, following a series of horrible emperors, wars that stretched on far to long. Over expansion. Conquered people not assimulating enough, or at all. The roman army becoming majority auxillary foriegn groups. And ending in the west almost bankrupting, disease, hunger and the invasiom of the goths
Not trying to be a dick
Nah I'd say the fall started with Commodus
I know i come off as abrasive
Oh commudus was one of those horrrid emperors
have a good night
Yep. You have the 5 good empowers ending with Commodus
His father was decent but abandoning the tradition of succession for his son who was ill fit was a horrid mistake
Also considered the golden age of rome
HE SAID GOODNIGHT!
Yep
But thw fact julius abandoned the republic law. Was the catalyst for the rest
But in some ways you can't really blame him. All of previous dudes of the golden age were childless
woah
But the tradition of choosing an apt person and conducting decades of training for the position was what saved rome from further octavians
In Teagardens to Julius what about Marius and Sulla
Regards
And the Gracchi brothers
The rebuild was already falling apart long before Julius go there
Republic sorry
i wonder how the industrial revolution happened
if it wasn't enlightenment
Gun smithing
there was technology invented in the middle ages! the cannon
what do you need to make a cannon?
how to cast bronze 101
or wait, weld a bunch of iron bars together
basically the skills of a cooper, upscaled
and cannons were shit until the 1600s was it
Not a period I know well. Rome is my bread and butter
i mean romans could have had gunpowder, but they didn't for some reason
