Wasn't Italy extremely underrated?
It is the birthplace of Western Civilization, Roman Empire and Renaissance

Post Roman Emperors you feel get no respect.
>Pic related is junior emperor
>Senior Augustus daddy captured and humiliated by Persians
>Collapse of Eastern defences
>Franks invade the Rhine
>Alemani invade Italy
>Goths who recently killed a Roman Emperor invade the Danube
>Plague
>Economic depression
>A billion pretenders starting civil wars
This dude probably got dealt the shittiest hand of all Roman emperors and managed to prevent the shit from hitting the fan.
Sure the Empire split in 3, but it's thanks to this guy that Imperial administration did not dissolve like it did 200 years later. He succeeded where Stilicho failed.
He laid the groundwork for Aurelian's restoration.
Underated as FUCK

Afghan here. It has and always will be Iran. Don't listen to any other butthurt """Afghan""" lies. They're most likely pakis.
Real Afghans love Iran!

Let's be honest. Did the Native Americans originally own America? Did the evil white people steal America from the natives? Did the blacks build America?

You can't really claim something when you can't "officially" write said claim down on some type of paper work.
It was stealing, but that implies it was done in a wrongful way. Might is right, and the stronger community took what it could.
No, because the America we know today was more or less built after slavery. The civil war destroyed tons of America's infrastructure and it was rebuilt by free people.

Is it as painful as I think it is? How were large armies fed and kept alive without collapsing on itself while marching out of the country? How was communication kept intact between distant villages in the middle of nowhere and were made sure they prospered?

When traveling through relatively friendly territory, word would be sent out in advance of a march for supply depots and markets to be made ready for an army. Otherwise, the army would split into several smaller units that could more easily support itself through foraging.
