What is it you want to talk about?
It's definitely a refreshing look at religion, especially as the most major syncretic eastern-western tradition (semitic/hellenic/indic extraction) but every other organized group has pretty roundly stamped them out.

Also, are you a Jung/Eliade fan?

Probably. But you're probably gonna get shitposted to death by the fundie shitposter.

What's the deal with gnosticism? As I understand it it's Christianity with a weird meditative and esoteric tradition and sometimes dualism.

usually tax rate would be between 1-3% on your wealth, but higher in wartime. sometimes there would be an income tax in Urban areas.
in Rural areas where organised tax collection was either impossible or poorly executed Rome would put a levy and lump sum tax on the provincial governor, as long as he paid and supplied the soldiers needed, be basically got free reign over the region.

That's fascinating. I wonder, why was tax collection impossible as you say? Is the issue that people live in very low density areas with little oversight, or is it something else? If, as I imagine is the case, taxation was made impracticable because of a lack of census data (address, income, etc), then how did Roman authorities determine how much to tax provincial governors in their lump sum payments?
Additionally, how would taxes be paid? With cattle? Gold? Was there a Roman equivalent of filling your taxes? If so, what would that process entail?

>>2270902
The individual cities and communities in the provinces usually performed their own census, which could be used as a starting point. Free landowners outside of the cities had to pay taxes based on the size of their property. The tarrifs and tolls could be evaluated by just watching the traffic for some time, calculating the amount of money you would have charged in that time and then calculating it for a whole year.
Taxes were usually paid in roman or local currencies (there were still hundreds, even in the late empire). Filling your taxes: Not really, the closest thing would be the census, where roman officials (or your local magistrate) would make a list of every citizen and non-citizen in town and evaluate their wealth. You would then get assigned to a certain tax class and had to pay taxes based on that (or not, if you were a roman citizen or otherwise privileged).

Probably him to be honest. He was a bloody lunatic and a brutal man.

Luigi Cadorna.

How no one didn't just kill him after his first fuck up is baffling.

No. All tactics and no strategy makes for a decent general at best. There were better guys, even in his own period.

no, because he ultimately lost at the end.

>but but carthage didn't support him right

maybe, but still you can't be the GOAT if all your brilliance comes out to nothing

America
Shit
Just the American suburbs
And I see clueless burgers I ironically spreg out about how devolping countries are destroying everything and need to be "nuked" or "exterminated" all the time. It's like they don't get that they are the ones paying them to devolp.

The U.S. singlehandedly. We've dropped more bombs than every country on Earth combined several times over. Hell hath no fury like the US Air Force.

Why they should?
They are dependant on cental goverment for food and services.

Russian Slavs and Asians are incapable of independence movements or democratic self-rule.

>>Science is the only practical and important knowledge.

science as in natural science or the systematic method?

>>2269941
Science, as in the following process:

1. Observe
2. Measure
3. Experiment
4. Form theory
5. Test theory

... applied to problems to come to a solution that works the same under the same circumstances, and its outcome can be predicted based on these circumstances every time.

There were jet dogfights in Korea

90's MTV have them especially DMX's

>>2269886

Dogfights are romanticised shit that will never happen again.rockets pretty much made machine guns obsolete.

Why Olympic was disguised as Titanic and sunk by a submarine.

Why people think the holocaut happened

Also: why people think that jews existed before 1945.

From what I remember, during the republic the auxiliaries are at best ignored and at worst cowards blamed for routing early on and losing the battle.

Eventually though auxiliaries became the entire army

>>2269806
For purely infantry formations of Auxilia the pay was a fair bit lower than that of a legionary; whereas a cavalry specialist formation would have been paid a bit more depending on quality.

In general the Auxilia seem to have been treated well by their commanders, i think that, due to the support role they played for the legions, if they were ever to abandon a legion or turn traitor the legion could be left vulnerable and as such they were treated reasonably well to avoid this.

>>2270139
Auxiliaries were always at least half of the army from like the 1st century B.C. at the latest. By Augustus 250,000 of the 500,000 strong army was made up of auxiliaries, and 200,000 of the legionaries of non-Italians.
