Hypothetically, could the Roman Empire at it's peak take on Medieval Europe?

I think the Romans would put up a good fight.

It couldn't even take on some tribes in Germany, so I doubt it.

>>2823663
totally depends on which part of the medieval era you're referring to, but early medieval definitely since at that point it was a bunch of small kingdoms with the same technology as the Roman Empire but worse manpower and organization

It did have it in a strange tributary, but not really vassalage way.
>king of serbia gets overthrown by the nobility council in favor of his brother
>swears allegiance to the king of hungary
>gets some complementary lands on the other side of the sava
>now owns macva and srem
These things happened often but were short lived among Serbian and Bosnian nobles, more so in Bosnia because it was less centralized.
Irredentism isn't really about logic, it's slapping your flag over every inch of land that a country "held" for however little time.
Also, due to the geography taking land on either side of the river would only be temporary.

Hey /his/,
In ancient Israel, who enforced the Mosaic laws prior to the monarchy? Was it the priesthood or the Levites? Or the judges? Clan leaders or perhaps elders?

The High Priest, I believe.

>>2822760
The Mosaic law as we know it likely didn't exist before the monarchy

Ultimately Judges, I'd guess. Probably the local priest did at a smaller level.
That's assuming the Israelites were monotheistic before the Kings

Why does philosophical anti-intellectualism have such a bad reputation? Isn't valuing real life experiences and common sense just as legitimate as valuing abstract constructs and dogmatic theories?

Anti-intellectualism is as valid as anti-clericalism was in the XIXth century.
"Intellectuals" are not just "smart people", they are a caste with a political project, and that project can be disastrous, just see the entire history of communism.

If god exists, then why would he reward people for their piety and meekness?
Either god would be indifferent to us, or he would reward the strongest and most powerful.

You're idea of god is that of a 5 year old. If god exists then he loves everything equal because he doesn't discriminate what is his. Therefore, he already rewarded strong people with what? Strength. We're already rewarded with what we have and strive to be.

Can we just have a general discussion about various Iranian states/nations, empires, etc...that are pre-Islamic preferrably? Scythians/Saka, Persians, Sogdians, Bactarians, Tajiks, Zoroastrianism, Mithraism, Mazadakism, types of warfare, famous historical figures, and so on.
What is your favorite favorite Iranian empire/dynasty? People? Figures? I've always been pretty interested in the Scythians and their descendants the Sarmatians as well as the White Huns.

From Indolence and Regeneration: Tropes and Tensions of Risorgimento Patriotism
By the early nineteenth century, these gendered images and metaphors, strengthened as they were by a more than century long process of demilitarization of Italian society,51 profoundly informed all sorts of discourses about the Italians. In French-occupied Italy, the letters of the agents of Napoleon in the peninsula warned that Italians could not be trusted because they had acquired "the same character, the same habits of women, the subjected sex" while at the same time harboring at in their heart some strong male passions - a dangerous combination if seen from the standpoint of an occupying force.52 And in one of the most influential texts of early romanticism, Corinne, or Italy (1807), that fierce oponent of Napoleon, Madame de Stael, while personifying the plight of Italy in the tragic destiny of the eponymous heroine, painted the Italians as an effeminate and indolent people: "In Italy, the men are worth much less than the women, for they have women's faults as well as their own"53 declares the male protatgonist, the Englishman Lord Nelvil. The half-Italian Corinne, while defending her compatriots, states that "Italians are as indolent as orientals in their daily lives.... Life is nothing more than a dream-filed sleep under a beautiful sky."54

In hindsight, what should the USSR have done after WW2 to deny capitalist empires from controlling the world market and be portrayed in a positive light?
IMO some things they should've done differently:
>Don't rig elections in Eastern Europe. Even if the capitalists won they would face significant pro-soviet opposition and the USSR could've funded proxy civil wars across Eastern Europe, like in Greece.
>Fund Greek communist fighters until the end
>Don't send aid to socialist allies except china
>Instigate communist coups in France and Italy
> Fund socialist guerillas in spain
>Provoke western military intervention in Eastern Europe so they could fight a protracted guerilla war
>Purge Khruschev
>Don't alienate Tito
>Fund more consumer products and build a blue water navy instead of a massive army once the USSR got nukes

Thing was that the Soviets were looking inward first and securing their own ambitions before projecting power outward, and it's pretty justifiable seeing as Russia was invaded twice in a span of 30 years.
the first thing on the Soviet's agenda is to make sure another major invasion can never happen again, so the Eastern Bloc was established to shield them from the West.
Next was repairing all the damage done to Eastern Europe during the war, along with making sure the economy didn't bottom out as a result of the now devastated regions in Ukraine and western Russia.
By the time WWII ended, Russia was in little shape to lead a world revolution with 20% of its population killed on the battlefield, the Soviets needed to focus on recovery before provoking another major world conflict, hence the nature of the rather small scale fighting of Korea, a war fought with World War II still fresh in memory and neither side having much will to expand it into a larger conflict.
