Yep. You have the 5 good empowers ending with Commodus

2018-10-30 02:43:09 UTC  

His father was decent but abandoning the tradition of succession for his son who was ill fit was a horrid mistake

2018-10-30 02:43:12 UTC  

Also considered the golden age of rome

2018-10-30 02:43:13 UTC  

HE SAID GOODNIGHT!

2018-10-30 02:43:20 UTC  

Yep

2018-10-30 02:44:05 UTC  

But thw fact julius abandoned the republic law. Was the catalyst for the rest

2018-10-30 02:44:14 UTC  

But in some ways you can't really blame him. All of previous dudes of the golden age were childless

2018-10-30 02:44:40 UTC  

woah

2018-10-30 02:44:58 UTC  

But the tradition of choosing an apt person and conducting decades of training for the position was what saved rome from further octavians

2018-10-30 02:44:59 UTC  

In Teagardens to Julius what about Marius and Sulla

2018-10-30 02:45:09 UTC  

Regards

2018-10-30 02:45:44 UTC  

And the Gracchi brothers

2018-10-30 02:46:15 UTC  

The rebuild was already falling apart long before Julius go there

2018-10-30 02:46:31 UTC  

Republic sorry

2018-10-30 02:46:52 UTC  

i wonder how the industrial revolution happened

2018-10-30 02:46:57 UTC  

if it wasn't enlightenment

2018-10-30 02:47:04 UTC  

Gun smithing

2018-10-30 02:47:07 UTC  

there was technology invented in the middle ages! the cannon

2018-10-30 02:47:11 UTC  

what do you need to make a cannon?

2018-10-30 02:47:16 UTC  

how to cast bronze 101

2018-10-30 02:47:22 UTC  

or wait, weld a bunch of iron bars together

2018-10-30 02:47:34 UTC  

basically the skills of a cooper, upscaled

2018-10-30 02:47:52 UTC  

and cannons were shit until the 1600s was it

2018-10-30 02:47:57 UTC  

Not a period I know well. Rome is my bread and butter

2018-10-30 02:48:15 UTC  

i mean romans could have had gunpowder, but they didn't for some reason

2018-10-30 02:48:22 UTC  

Rifle makers had to rifle barrels in a consistent manner which led to them building jigs

2018-10-30 02:48:37 UTC  

there's no real explanation for why china got to it first... i guess it was just people playing with toys

2018-10-30 02:48:44 UTC  

Sulla was at least after julius

2018-10-30 02:48:48 UTC  

romans weren't really as inventive as other cultures of a similar size

2018-10-30 02:49:01 UTC  

sulla came before julius @Goblin_Slayer_Floki :

2018-10-30 02:49:02 UTC  

😛

2018-10-30 02:49:16 UTC  

Sulla was not after Julius

2018-10-30 02:49:17 UTC  

Bleh your right fucking bc

2018-10-30 02:49:22 UTC  

haha

2018-10-30 02:49:30 UTC

2018-10-30 02:49:46 UTC

2018-10-30 02:49:52 UTC

2018-10-30 02:50:13 UTC
