They were no more evil or good than the spanish (as of the moment of contact), given that the aztecs were literally an imperialist state themselves. The spanish also then did atrocities on a scale unmatched until full on chattel slavery was instituted and european colonialism really got rolling

In the play “ The Little Carthaginian“, they compliment the piety of the punics for sacrificing well born children, and mlk offerings weren’t banned in the Roman province of Africa until 304 Also, why are you using mines as the example when you have gladiator games which were descended from Etruscan sacrifice rituals?

This made it possible for Romans to rationalize human sacrifice as something that others did. Roman use of semantics created an image of enlightenment despite everyday brutality. To further crystalize these constructed comparisons, the Romans would portray rival’s cultures harshly, such as that of the Carthaginians. Graeco-Roman writers often claimed that the Carthaginians sacrificed humans to their gods. Justin states Carthage adopted the practice because of early calamities (Justin 18.6.11):

Inspector Hound posted:Hannibal loving ruled His various battles are military masterstrokes using every sort of trick in the book from ambushes to mis-direction to defeat much larger armies. Like many other military commanders like Pyrrhus/Spartacus. Hannibal successful victories against the romans he wasn't able to overcome Roman style Total War mobilization of society and how they always managed to replace their massive losses. My favorite one weird trick had to battle of Lake Trasimae given how it relied on multiple advanced tactics -Use of Terrain for the Ambush against the Romans while they vulnerable in a column formation -Using misdirection into tricking the Romans into believing his camp was occupied using the old campfire trick -Moving his entire army into position without being detected -Selecting a battlefield that would naturally hem in the Romans to prevent most of them from escaping

"Hannibal, know how to gain a victory; you do not know how to use it." - Maharbal (supposedly) after Cannae. I maintain in the face of more educated arguments that if he had marched on the city he may have taken it without a fight.

It was at a banquet hosted by the Seleucid king Antiochus III. Hannibal was given asylum there, and then in the subsequent war with Rome, Antiochus only let Hannibal command some naval ships. sullat posted:The city still had walls though. Maybe he could have stormed it while they were panicking or convinced them to surrender, but it's not like the gates were open. My contention is the terrified populace would have opened the gates, or rioted until they were opened. This is not a wild thing as that happened historically in many sieges, and the Romans were going apeshit in fear after losing all of their best young officers and such between trasimene and then cannae.

Human sacrifice was common in the ancient world anyway, In Ancient Greece for example, at Leucas a person was every year at the festival of Apollo thrown from a rock into the sea (Strab. X p452); and Themistocles before the battle of Salamis is said to have sacrificed three Persians to Dionysius (Plut. Them. 13, Arist. 9, Pelop. 21). Moreover, at the Thargalia of Athens the ugliest man and women would be sacrificed: “ On the day when the sacrifice was to be performed the victims were led out of the city to a place near the sea, with the accompaniment of a peculiar melody, called κραδίης νόμος, played on the flute (Hesych, s.v.). The neck of the one who died for the men was surrounded with a garland of black figs, and that of the other with a garland of white ones; and while they were proceeding to the place of their destiny they were beaten with rods of fig-wood, and figs and other things were thrown at them. Cheese, figs, and cake were put into their hands that they might eat them. They were at last burnt on a funeral pile made of wild fig-wood, and their ashes were thrown into the sea and scattered to the winds (Tzetzes, Chil. V.25). Some writers maintain from a passage of Ammonius (de Different. Vocab. p142, ed. Valck.) that they were thrown into the sea alive, but this passage leaves the matter uncertain.” Imagine being chosen as the ugliest person in town lmao

In the grand finale of any Roman Triumph celebrating newly conquered lands two white bulls were led to the Capitoline Temple and offered as sacrifices, and also at the same time and in the same place any captured enemy combatants and leaders were executed in front of the temple, which was NOT a human sacrifice for some reason, very much unlike those dastardly carthaginians

Talking about the inquisition reminded me of this weird case which I recently learned about, where a group of people called cagots were persecuted for centuries in Iberia and Western France, but we have no idea why and from the looks of it the people doing the persecuting didn't either, they were just outcasts and that was it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cagot

Ceremonially killing people is a traditional method of affirming the state's power over life and death. The method of selection and manner of death varies considerably but at the end of the day, the important thing is that the state does a big-league flex on the common citizen.
