@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

@Str3tch I'd believe it

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

or the damn horse chancellor

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

yes

When Rome went Christian, an emperor called Julian converted to paganism, standardised paganism, built temples and wrote a very extensive book called "To the Galileans" discussing why christians are broke and why pagans are woke

Lol I got the corona role

i'm gonna watch taht documentary about virtue

We only know of it cause the only remnants are books counter arguing it

don't remember much of it
