The Voice of Labor posted:the gently caress kind of manual labor do you have to be enslaved to for it to completely gently caress your back by age 18-23? Life expectancy of most Roman slaves was kind of... terrible. But since for a good chunk of its existence, ready sources of new slaves were always there, you just got new ones when they wore out. General population decline, and foreign wars no longer bringing in new sources of slaves is thought to be one of the reasons serfdom eventually came to replace agricultural slavery in the Roman (and post-Roman) world,

There are four deaths. The first is when the body ceases to function. The second is when the body is consigned to the grave. The third is that moment, sometime in the future, when your name is spoken for the last time. The fourth is when you dingus is no longer seen by future societies.

Randarkman posted:I mean they did. Gods did poo poo like volcano eruoptions, storms and droughts, because the gods were fickle and you had to do your best to appease them through ritual and sacrifice. Natural disasters happening didn't make people question the existence of the gods or whether they had abandoned them, stuff like that happening was more in the vein, "oh poo poo, here come the gods again", and you didn't abandon people to the mercy of gods' anger, you'd probably try to help and do your best to keep the gods as happy as possible going forwards, but you always knew that you just couldn't totally know what would work and what wouldn't, because you know, fickle. hey thanks for calling me 'pretty ignorant' when the end result of your pointless drivel was exactly the same as the point I was making; that they didn't run home crying to the gods about it because they realized that in one way or another the gods weren't helping or had/had not abandoned them.

You're living your upper-middle-class day to day life in what essentially amounts to Los Angeles. And then you get loving vaporized in an ash cloud while masturbating or loving your slave. Two THOUSAND years later the empty shell of what was once your body is filled with plaster and is revealed to the world with polite golf-claps. We humans are so, so god damned wonderful. Take time to appreciate how we're all the same hosed up idiots, forever, sometimes, folks. It's great.

The idea being, your average roman citizen would have given as much thought about offering up and paying homage to the lares as a catholic does to praying the rosary and would have done the same for Pompeii, they didn't turn tail and hide in the shadow of gods and mysticism like many might expect a culture such as that to do, if you have no previous knowledge of it. Instead, they worked dutifully to offer relief and did what they could to offer support to the suffering in a material way, rather than just retreating into a "Oh Jupiter Deus why hast thou forsaken us" mindset. That was my only point, to demonstrate that they were being practical, worldly, and helpful rather than cowering in some kind of 'Woe are we' spiritual ascetic.

It is funny that Hera turned a guy into a donkey fucker since her husband would turn into a donkey to gently caress women on the down-low. Greek civilization sure was weird, glad those perverted days are behind us. *goes to DeviantArt*

Me, frozen in time forever whilst posting. Eons later, as I am revealed to the public, curators have looked into the past at 'fashions of the period' and dressed me in checkered Ska shorts, a day-glow neon T, and backward baseball cap that simply says 'gnarly' on it. They are not wrong.

The best part is, we'll never know and that wonder is the fun of it. Most likely though that one is literal. In Roman cities they had numerous public 'stations' of ovens where you'd come and, literally, make your bread for the day/week/what have you. So there's a pretty drat good chance that person actually just made a note saying "Hey, this is the last time I made bread over here". The reason they had these was not only for a general public service, but because the apartment complexes that the general urban poor lived in were exceptionally prone to burning the gently caress down constantly, so it seemed a better idea to just make specific places made for public baking and use rather than have Joe Dipshitius constantly burning his entire neighborhood to death because he wanted a sandwich.

Dick. Pliny the Younger in his letter to Tacitus posted:People bewailed their own fate or that of their relatives, and there were some who prayed for death in their terror of dying. Many besought the aid of the gods, but still more imagined there were no gods left, and that the universe was plunged into eternal darkness for evermore. (...) I could boast that not a groan or cry of fear escaped me in these perils, but I admit that I derived some poor consolation in my mortal lot from the belief that the whole world was dying with me and I with it."

yes notice the "no gods left" part? And how Rome sent relief fleets to aid the survivors instead of curling up into a ball? Which is exactly what I was talking about? It's that.

The people of Pompeii worshipped Space Moose, and so the gods smote them for their sins.
