Why was the Sassanian Empire so different to the Parthian one it replaced? Within a year or two, Persia went from being an occasional annoying pest to a very serious, almost existential threat to Rome.

Am I still the same as 15 years ago or am I a mere copy of this guy?
Same, with added footnotes.
Well you were probably just a little kiddo back then so certainly you've changed a lot
Anyway, I get your point. I stress about the same issue every now and then but in the end your most rooted characteristics remain, so you shouldn't be to worried about it. Your brain is simply adapting to the world around you, a world that is constantly changing, so it's only natural that you change with it.
What we call "life" is constant movement so there's no way you or anybody else would be completely the same for more than mere moments

It always seems like the romans in any form of fiction are portrayed as typical white (Im American so that's what I mean by that) men, yet they began in Italy. Is this just a result of American film and they actually looked like modern day Italians, or were the races mixed in a different way then that looked similar to modern day white men?
Did the romans look more like modern day Italians or the more white, slightly taller individuals they're always portrayed as?
I know that Rome was so large that there were people of every race in the region that belonged to it, center more on the Italy born men in my question. Thanks for the help!

Sorry, but Americans are not white.
>>3359728
You probably think of Italian as swarthy manlet which is an American misconception as not all Italians are terr*ni.
The "Germanic girl" Eirene in the HBO serie Rome is an ethnic Italian for example.
Taking in consideration human history and natural behaviour, we'll never achieve it, right?
We will achieve it, only to end up in a war for our survival against the wretched zerg.
It'll never happen. Humanity has chosen equality over progress, and it's become starkly apparent that it's easier to hobble our best, than to try to enlighten our worst

Hebrews, much like the ancient Greeks and Romans, didn't have numbers as such, instead they used letters of their alphabet as numbers when doing accounting. For the Greeks and Romans this was just a way to write numbers, a matter of convenience, but the Hebrews made the leap of idiocy to assuming that just as the words mean things, so too must the numbers each word "counts as" mean something. Cue centuries of converting words into numbers, doing simple math of the numbers, then trying to find a new word that fits the new numbers that has some correlation with the original word,and since humans are extremely good at spotting patterns even when they don't exist, the Kabbalists have accumulated vast reams of coincidences of this sort and have used them to elaborate on their mumbo-jumbo in new and yet more retarded ways.

How old does something have to be to be considered ancient?
1,000 years?
2,000 years?
3,000?
And is ancient really the appropriate term for civilizations like "ancient" Egypt, and "ancient" rome.
Despite the fact that there was a roughly 2,000 year difference between them?
It has to be older than classical civilization, typically.
You've got ancient, then classical, then medieval (there may be the dark ages in between classical and medieval depending on who you ask) then renaissance, early modern, and modern.
None of these have definite dates, but you don't really see Hellenic Greeks and Romans as much in ancient times.
>>3359126
But that still means ancient is roughly 2,000 years, when the rest don't even have half of that. Are those all truly ancient?
And what about before the ancient-era, assuming that started with the unification of upper and lower Egypt in 3,000 BC.
What would upper and lower egypt be called pre-3000 BC?
>>3359136
The ancient era would begin with writing.
Before that it's prehistoric.
Also, the first like two thousand years of written word are kind of sparse compared to the thousand years after that.
