1214 is the real date Rome fell. Continuous state up till then, state afterwards is a reformed successor.

Is that a TV thing? They had ads in the arenas but I haven't heard mention of ones painted on the chariots. It would not surprise me in the slightest though. I don't think we have any surviving racing chariots.

I asked this thread for advice regarding seminal works on pirates, and got a great recommendation. I'll therefore try again even though it is still not strictly roman or ancient history; Does anyone have a great book recommendation regarding the crusades? It can be about the crusades in general, or a specific one.

# ? Nov 24, 2023 19:02 |

I don't have one but you're completely on topic, in fact. The First Crusade was initiated and at least somewhat organized/directed by the Roman Empire. The Romans looked at it as recruiting western mercenaries to help reclaim Roman lands from the Turks. The crusaders ended up having their own ideas, but it did take a lot of pressure off the empire at a vulnerable time.

Dante posted:I asked this thread for advice regarding seminal works on pirates, and got a great recommendation. I'll therefore try again even though it is still not strictly roman or ancient history; I recently read Peter Frankopan's Call From the East, and it's very interesting and good (I feel like he's overplaying the Roman Empire's involvement in organizing it, though not by a lot), though it's perhaps not the best place to start as it's trying to revise an older narrative. Sadly I don't know any other good single volume on the Crusades (I've mostly come to it as it intersects with other things). I was going to recommend the History of the Outremer podcast, which is weird as poo poo, but does a better than average job of covering the origins of the crusading movement, if you're into the whole podcasting thing. Sadly it appears to have died out just as the First Crusade is reaching Antioch, which is almost poetic in a way. e: Steven Runciman's A History of the Crusades are the big name in English Crusade Histories, though they're certainly dated now. Not sure if there's a single (approachable) more recent approach to it, though in googling stuff I did discover the Wisconsin Collaborative History of the Crusades if you want to get real academic with it. e2: The guy who was doing History of the Outremer's recommendations: Christopher Tyerman's God's War or Thomas Asbridge's The Crusades . I have read neither. PittTheElder fucked around with this message at 20:45 on Nov 24, 2023 |

I am looking for any recommendations for an entry level text on the Iranian Intermezzo. Going to be playing CK3's latest flavourful pack this holiday and I want a bit of background information. Something like what Battle Cry For Freedom would be for the ACW.

I do get the idea the Crusades basically were European adventurism and religious fanaticism being used to send them on proxy wars with various levels of backfiring. The Children's Crusade seems like some real religious mania turning into black comedy. Still funny hearing the full details of the Fourth Crusade where it's not quite so much 'redneck Anglo knights got bored and sacked Constantinople instead' as a series of Always Sunny esque grifts and shenanigans and a Byzantine pretender's zany scheme.

Dunno if that's applicable to the broader hispanophone world or due to the large Italian cultural influence in Argentina, but I'd be interested to see if the same worked for native Spanish speakers. I think there's different kinds of Spanish speakers: 1. Rioplatense has a huge Italian influence. So for them, it's the easiest. 2. Then there's the rest of Latin America. I'm generalizing here, but Latin American Spanish sounds a lot more like Italian than true European Spanish does. I learned Italian in high school and university, and when I started watching Latin American TV this was very clear to me immediately. Of course TV Spanish is different from what's really spoken, but still, the difference between Mexican/Colombian/etc Spanish on TV and European Spanish on TV is clear. 3. But even for speakers of European Spanish, it can work. I talked to my friend's Spanish parents in Italian and they could understand almost all of it. In Italy, I heard tons of Spanish tourists speak Spanish to Italian service workers and it just works. I think the biggest barrier with Latin, though, would be if you learned it in a country where the local tradition has shifted pronunciation too much. I only have experience with Dutch and German pronunciation of Latin, but that's nothing like how an Italian would pronounce the same Latin words

The fact that the Latin guy pronounces the exact same word (principio) two different ways does not fill me with confidence there. Also the Greek is Koine and not Ancient, again not great.
