>There are five known illustrations of American flags with tri-color stripes. Tri-colored stripes appeared in various European almanacs into the 19th century, featuring stars with 4, 5, or 6 points and arranged in various patterns. The Serapis flag is distinctive because of the four, irregularly placed blue stripes and 8-pointed stars. Although it was flown as a U.S. Ensign and was recognized as such by a foreign nation, it did not meet the Congressional description of U.S. flags under the Flag Resolution of 1777, which specified "alternate red and white" stripes.

Post interesting flags.

Did he exist?
How much is myth and how much is true?
Where was he from?
When did he die?
How influential was he really?
Was he even a man? Maybe he was a plant that contained DMT or a mushroom, like Jesus.
What do we know about Hermeticism really?

The Code of Ur-Nammu is the oldest known law code surviving today. It is from Mesopotamia and is written on tablets, in the Sumerian language c. 2100–2050 BC.

1. If a man commits a murder, that man must be killed.

This is in effect today in many Sharia Law enforced countries and even in the United States where the death penalty is in use to some convicts.

From what I read, Americans didn't have the climate for empires the way the Mediterranean did. America isn't very wide so the same plants can't grow all over. The climate changes a lot going north to south where around the Mediterranean the same types of crops are grown all over.

>characters
They were okay, I guess. Every minor character and the main cast was enjoyable. The show did better than 90% of other roman related Hollywood media in getting the roman spirit right. I can only think of Gladiator, despite the films other huge problems, that accurately represents how roman upper class and lower class acted.

>personalities of major historical figures

Caesar and Mark Antony were spot on. Season 2 was kinda shit, especially how they fucked up Cicero.
Pompey was downright retarded. Instead of a praisejunkie who only wants to be loved we get an feeble old man that somehow becomes Catos puppet.
Cato was way too fucking old.

Atia was probably not a skank but who knows. Patrician women usually fucked around like whores. That didn't change ever, despite the autistic fits of some later historians like livy.

Cicero is in weird spot. Season 1 kinda goofed him but season 2 outright destroyed his character. By the time Caesar was dictator, Cicero was an old fuck who only wrote books with his assistant Tiro and had his son marcus do the political things and Soldiering.

Agrippa was meh. Octavian as a turbo autist was actually pretty funny. I nice spin on a grand character.

Cleopatra was spot on. Maybe a bit too slutty but then again she was greek, so who knows what the fuck she was doing when Caesar and Antony were not around.

The most boner I got were the accurate roman names. No other work of fiction gets them right in Hollywood.
