To develop the technology necessary for accurate ballistic missiles and demonstrate their accuracy to your enemy in a public show of power. In order to give reason for the massive budget required and encourage support by scientists you tell everyone that it is actually a quest for scientific achievement rather than military advancement.

I have had an itch for the history of the Roman Republic for almost a year now. No YouTube video, 4chan thread, or Reddit post would drive this preoccupation away.

Looks like reading a book about the subject is inescapable. Though I'd rather invest that time in something else. What's the best book about the Republic (especially the last century) would kill this itch once and for all?

I just want a book that would give me a high-school tier knowledge of the Roman Republic up until Augustus. You know, a normie book about Romans.

Aren't diplomatic embassies inherently risky? Has there ever been been a case in history where an entire delegation was killed outright?

>Aren't diplomatic embassies inherently risky?

Yes, definitely.

>Has there ever been been a case in history where an entire delegation was killed outright?

Yup. Although not as often as you think. Almost every culture has deeply ingrained protections for messengers and diplomats, for obvious reasons, even from enemy states.

So when a major power's leader goes on an embassy does the armed forces of that power go on full alert or what? Are they attached to a mobile nuke with a dead man's switch or what?

I am writing a paper on Claudius and I want to give the paper a Latin title. I am thinking something like, "Claudio Imperatore Infirmi" for, "Claudius the Infirm Emperor," but I am uncertain about if the Latin is correct as I've only used Google translate. I didn't know where to ask but thought this board would suffice. Is the Latin correct?

Also, any critiques on the title? I suppose you'd have to read the essay to know what I should call it but what are your intuitions about it? The paper is for a history of the Roman empire collegiate class and I am supposed to compare how a modern historian and Suetonius evaluate the emperor.

Cheers.

America briefly experimented with camel cavalry during the Mexican war. However, the war ended before they could be deployed.

It would be about 100 years later when we had another dessert war (WWII), so camels wouldn't be useful.

He isn't called The Philosopher for nothing.

But I thought philosoniggers didn't believe in objective truth so what does it matter what he fields pioneered? He would have been better shitting in the street like Diogenes.

>>2617895
Plato

also protip: aristotle is a meme, just because he cast a wide net doesn't mean much. epictetus, plato, diogenes, pythagoras, tons of other greeks at least as interesting and intelligent, all with their own wide nets and idiosyncrasies and baffling qualities.

aristotle just happened to be the best preserved and widely read in europe after the fall of rome and the ensuing social structural reorganization, and thus his ideologies have permeated up to today as the best ones - not necessarily because they are best, but because they are the most historically discussed and reinforced due in large part to circumstances unrelated to his philosophy or the philosophy of others.

"Green army" was a catch-all for groups that weren't "red" or "white", thus it included anarchists, Ukrainian separatists, etc.

k*rds are in fact the original Homo erectus. They still are, even today, which is a testament to their determination to never evolve beyond basic animal behavior.
