Aurelian is cool though. What he managed to do in just a few years is unbelievable.

In order to get published as an historian you basically need to : a) Argue that something or someone generally accepted as bad was good or vice versa Or b) Research something no one else has. B is getting tougher everyday.

I feel like there's a nested question inside of "who was a better roman emperor" of "what is a better roman empire", because I think different people have fairly different opinions on that.

Hadrian's the guy that the Talmud curses with "may his bones be crushed" though. Or something else about his bones, Google has a lot of different translations.

An interesting idea, but I don't know if it's compelling enough evidence to declare the case closed. Isn't the earliest evidence of knitting dated hundreds of years after the time the dodecahedra are dated to?

Grand Fromage posted:That is countered by a school of thought that Hadrian was the one who actually made the mistake by pulling back and fortifying the frontiers, arguing that the Roman state was reliant on constant expansion. That sounds like a bad school. As the Assyrians were willing to demonstrate three times, a state relying on constant expansion is less a state and more a disease with Humans instead of viruses, eventually countered by the raising number of enemies at the growing size of the border. Dragging the borders of an already over-extended state out even further would have made Hadrian both stupid and mad, as pulling back and securing the borders was the only valid choice available to him.

Yeah, without defensible borders, those eastern conquests were vulnerable to attack whenever their armies weakened (see: the quick Islamic conquests in the 600s). The Middle East didn’t have the same natural defensive barriers as, say, the Armenian mountains. All of the man-made fortifications were built along the boundary between the two empires. Conquering all the way to the mountains would’ve forced them to garrison a colossal chunk of territory for decades, best-case scenario, leaving them far more vulnerable to attacks on the northern or Danube frontiers.

CommonShore posted:The "Sparta sucked, actually" blog guy has a cool series investigating that meme via Dune which I just finished reading. Google the "Fremen mirage" It's interesting, but I can't help but be irritated with the premise (to a point) because it kind of missed the explanations, such as they were, for the fictional rise of the fremen. Plus, magic technology and such. I'm just a big dune fan. I did like the farming expansion stuff in the first part a lot. I'm not sure what the term is for archeological reconstruction of the migration of various technologies and methods (various pottery styles, for instance) but it's always been very engrossing for me to see it tracked down and laid out so you can see potential group interactions and all that.

What the gently caress did you just loving say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the camp of Ashur, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Hattusa, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top archer in the entire Assyrian armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the gently caress out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my loving words. You think you can get away with saying that poo poo to me over the tablets? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the Fertile Crescent and your donkey is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're loving dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the cavalry and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable rear end off the face of the world, you little poo poo. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your loving reed stylus. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will poo poo fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're loving dead, kiddo.
