plenty have survived
who?
@Str3tch Eastern Roman yes, but not Western Roman. The original Soldier emperors were good guys.
plenty of original plays and poems have survived
bro this isnt Assyrian Empire, we got like thousands of shit from the romans even today
@Nerthulas The ones they allowed to survive
@ayyycough yesh oof
All books are copies made roughly after the 30 years war.
but they copied classics too bro
I've read that Caligula has had the most original accounts of his life destroyed of any emperor, and that he too was very harsh on the jews, and thus his memory perverted into what we know of it today
i don't know if that's accurate in the slightest
That is way too obvious
most based
it is true
caligula
unless you think he legit walked without a head like a chicken
and declared war to the ocean and sent soldiers to stab the sea
like omfg
2000 years from now they will judge our time by bestsellers like Harry Potter and 50 Shades of Grey
no, not all are copies...
Any really meaningful intellectual work will be lost or survive only in fragments
Strangely enough many of the accounts we have that go against jewish subversion were copies sent to Chinese or Middle Eastern libraries by the Romans where the original copies were destroyed
it says that the originals survive
hmmm
bro plenty of originals survive
@Nerthulas None of us have seen the entirety of the vatican archive
for Plautus, they have surviving originals
but only those Catholic monks thought they were worth preserving
goys, my neck is stiff as fuck
Only so much paper and so many hands
I feel like syvester stallone
Oh I got a good one
moving my upper body and not my neck
Julian the Apostate
vellum does not last long
ok so why was this playwright able to gain prominence, and not be executed for homosexuality under these homosexuality laws you claim existed?
like compared to his (caligula) emperor peers, very little original reporting of his life survived. and so a lot of shocking accounts were substituted in place, since he was tough on you-know-who
Is anyone an incel here
less than 2% of aristotles work survived. much of what we have left are notes made by his students attributed to him
