Like how much did the Roman Imperial administration and the commands from an Emperor make a difference in the day to day running of a specific province. a few excecutions here and there to keep corruption at an acceptable level

Copy paste from boomerbook "Meet Bullard a fearsome soldier — and the first Black American fighter pilot. As a Black man born in Georgia in 1895, Eugene Bullard had long felt the weight of American racism. But by the time he was a teenager, he escaped by fleeing to France and relished in the new freedoms he could enjoy. So when WWI broke out, he eagerly signed up to fight for the French Foreign Legion. Bullard became a fearsome soldier — and the first Black American fighter pilot. But when his fellow Americans joined the war, they refused to allow him into their ranks in the U.S. Army. Undeterred, Bullard continued fighting for his adopted country and even emblazoned his plane with the words, "Tout sang que coule est rouge," or "All blood runs red." While Bullard became a war hero in France, his accomplishments were completely ignored in America — until he told his story on TV."

Mandoric posted:New World silver coins often traded at a significant premium in East Asia, since it was purer silver than local and the Chinese preferred to do business entirely in silver. Like, the US specifically minted silver trade dollars not valid in the US for a while after the civil war.
