can anyone recommend any survey histories of early Buddhism? book/podcast series preferred, I guess youtube lectures would suffice. I’m looking for broad strokes and especially as it related to existing and developing Vedic traditions in the first few centuries

Agreed. But somewhat disappointing that the assyriologist who happened to be reading was on twitter and not here. This truly is a dead website.

i have a weirdly specific question did ancient rome have street kebabs i know theyre from the middle east but im not sure when they were developed or how quickly they spread or if rome had a robust enough supply of meat that they would be economically practical for street vending

Casual dining was common for lower class citizens, while the reclining on benches/couches was an upper class thing.

it's something you see in any moderately advanced society. rome famously had a lot of labor specialization which necessitates purchasing cooked food for the majority of the population i assume it was much more advanced than the medieval tavern/country inn stereotype with semi-standardized kitchens able to serve hundreds a day i say swears online has issued a correction as of 01:40 on Mar 19, 2022 |

urban romans had a strong take-out lunch culture centered around the thermopolium, a street vendor with hot food over a brazier. meat on a stick is inevitable

 sometimes I'm like "ancient and foreign people were completely alien, no common conception of race gender class or identity, of the world or of meaning." sometimes I'm like "drat poo poo don't change huh"

ancient peoples by and large were acutely aware of class, it just didn't bother them in the same way. kind of like the british honestly tho comparisons to rome are cheating. they had a lot of "modern" institutions and practices purely because those are things that arise under certain conditions that really only rome, the modern world, and a few other select place/era combos have ever experienced. early modern japan is similarly eerie in its modernity sometimes, but it's so much closer to our time that it feels less surprising.

grotesque erotic nonsense is my favorite cultural trend because in addition to sounding super modern its only referenced in academic literature as this thing that was unfairly discriminated against because it was too queer and feminist and not that its a symptom of brokebrained psychosis that directly led to nearly everything about modern japanese culture that people make fun of aw nuts i crossed the napoleon line can we try making this the superhistory thread again we seem pretty far removed from the mods that reseparated them

A Buttery Pastry posted:How do we know? Wouldn’t most writing on the subject be from the people on top? This is true, there is a clear class character in ancient historians' writing. However there were reformers like the Gracchi brothers so we know there was class conflict. There are also accounts of the actions taken by plebs, like leaving Rome in a massive strike known as secessio plebis.
