ehhhh this story's pretty complicated. As a Senator Cicero helped develop something called the Senatus Consultum Ultimum, a kind of one-off act of dictatorship. As Consul he used it a bunch to have rivals and troublemakers executed without trial, despite all the flowery things he wrote about the Republic and its just ways.

I'm reasonably certain that 90% of Roman politics, Republic or otherwise, was finding some way to bullshit your way into "I can legally murder my opponents" and then murdering your opponents.

Caesar did a whole bunch of conquering to get everyone on his side to kill Pompey.

It's even weirder than that, in 509 BCE Junius Brutus founded the Republic by overthrowing the "last" of Rome's monarchs, Tarquinius Superbus. In 450 BCE, 60 years later, they adopted a written code of law. Today we simply can't imagine a state without a written code of law. The Code of Hammurabi was over 700 years old at this point in history, mind you. (for scale, Alexander the Great was crowned in 336 BCE, ~80 years after the roman adoption of a written code of law and over 1000 years after Hammurabi) Fully 150 years after Rome created its code of law, around 300 BCE one Gnaeus Flavius published the first legal dictionary for Roman Law, which until that date was a jealously guarded secret from the days of the old Etruscan civilization. So imagine a "just and enlightened" Republic where you couldn't know what the laws were, many people suspected they were simply made up on the spot by elites, the legal system was basically spells cast by priests that could sentence you to death and slavery. That was what people lived under for 60 years, the average lifespan of a healthy rich person edit: this was a complex post, get off my fuckin back Former DILF has a new favorite as of 09:45 on Apr 17, 2019 |

We actually have a number of written works that somehow transmitted to us the correct roman way to pronounce latin. they described the R sounds to be "like a growling dog", and we even know that their H was silent so Emperor Hadrian would be pronounced similar to the Sea from which his family got the cognomen; the Adriatic

Meanwhile Hispania is right next door to the Italian Peninsula but was conquered by Islam in the intervening years and we have few surviving texts from Roman Spain Former DILF has a new favorite as of 08:06 on Apr 17, 2019 |

Fister Roboto posted:I don't care, he's King Super Bus now. From a historical perspective these titles meant a great deal. This Tarquin king enjoyed a title that even Jupiter was never entitled. The greatest title that was bestowed upon Jupiter as it was known to history was that of "Optimus Maximus"; meaning "Most good" and "Most high" If you referred to this individual as anything other than his preferred nomenclature you'd almost certainly be risking summary execution

I'll leave you all with these facts: 0 Rome was established as a multicultural state. Romulus, if he existed, brought many cultures together to found the city of Rome. 1 The first of which was the Etrucans, native to Italy. The Etruscans' contributions to civilization are numerous. 2 The second was the Sabines, a horse-people native to what we think of as Central and Eastern europe. probably similar to the Mongolians best characterized Genghis Khan 3 The third was the Greeks, a refugee population that were fleeing the Bronze Age Collapse. Aeneas was a Trojan (Hittite) and from his conquests on the Italian Peninsula we get the kingdom of Alba Longa, from which give us eventually Julius Caesar and Augustus. (the historian of Augustus, Virgil wrote the Aenid, which traces the lineage of the Julii) Former DILF has a new favorite as of 10:13 on Apr 17, 2019 |
