Probably the Soviet Union.
Next would be Roman empire, but that's for a very big period of time.
Also is that Eliott's dad in the pic?

Well, the Spanish were the first to spread disease to the americas which ended up killing hundreds of millions of Native Americans, so probably them.

Yep thats Peter Rodger
Is François Laruelle's 'non-philosophy' utter hogwash or am I missing something? General thoughts on 'non-philosophy'?
It seems interesting when merely glossed over, but when I get into the detail of Laruelle, I can't help but think it is shallow and lacking in self-awareness.

what would be the best backdrop for a "Seven Samurai but in Medieval times"?
As in, what time period(War of the Roses? One Hundred Years War? ect)?
What location? France, Britain? Italy?
I was thinking sometime during the One Hundred Years War a few hedge knights(abandoned by their lords or otherwise unable to go home or return to their respective armies), both french and english, agree to help a beleaguered village that is being terrorized by a group of rogue mercenaries, in exchange for food and a place to sleep.
They would teach the peasants how to fight, they would learn more about one another, and eventually learn to respect others, be they serf or FUCKING FROG EATING FRENCH FUCKS.
But other than that, it would be very close to the original seven samurai, nearly beat for beat.
Is this not feasible for a story?

Hedge Knights aren't an actual historical concept, they're from A Song of Ice and Fire. A knight isn't going to be "abandoned by his Lord" because they hold massive amount of local influence and are a source of income and manpower.

I was looking for some old pictures, any actually. I'm kind of a collectors of sort.

Also, old pictures thread, historical or not, it really is interesting as hell.

I'm looking for any and all serious books about Celtic history, especially the Britons. Right now, I have Britain Begins by Barry Cunliffe which is fantastic and a very modern book with current info we have on the Celts. I'm wondering if there are any other books out there that are worth reading.
Has anyone read the Celtic from the West Books? I'd be very interested in reviews.

Let's talk about tidbits from the Roman Empire. We all know about the accomplishments of this civilization, the big things, but what about the little-known stuff that very few people know?
Let me start.
>Pyrrhus to his colleague Chius: I grieve because I hear you have died; and so farewell.
In a basilica in Pompeii, Pyrrhus expressed his mourning for Chius by writing it, letting this otherwise seemingly insignificant dialogue known to us almost 2000 years later.
Continue on, /his/.

I read an anecdote about a roman soldier who found a bag of pearls, and not knowing that the contents were worth anything, dumped the pearls and kept the bag

Once a Roman soldier, thinking it'd be funny, farted during a Passover or Seder in jerusalem. People got so enraged that a riot and stampede broke out, killing 15,000 people or so.

lol no.
There is a reason human remains in the medieval period are taller and had more muscle mass than in antiquity.
Food was more available since the population was more spread out and warfare was hilariously limited compared to antiquity.
In the 11th century, 5000 dead on the field was considered an epic catastrophe, for the Romans, it was an average Tuesday.
Not to mention that large scale slavery(apart from some few ports selling captured Muslims ofc) was basically unseen in Europe after the 10th century.

How could Rome control the muslim lands when all they had were spears and shields when in the modern world even guns couldn't keep them under control? What was their trick? Using Crucifictions to scare the rebels into not rebelling?

They didn't control the Muslim lands, the Muslims kicked them out of the middle east and North Africa.
Africa, Anatolia and the Middle East were also the most civilized parts of the Roman empire, but you knew that. You're just shitposting.

I should correct to "among the most" before people crawl out of the woodwork screeching "MUH GREECE". Those people should also remember the Hellenistic world stretched east, not west, of their peninsula.
