Until the return of Martin V in 1431, Rome was rather underpopulated, ruled by various noble families and in disrepair. At one point only 25,000 people lived in the city. When Martin V returned, he enacted sweeping infrastructure reforms, cleaned up some of the city and removed many of the ruined buildings which still spread across the Eternal City.

Funnily enough: it wasn't a 100% theocracy.

Sacred matters are handled by the pope, but secular matters in Rome such as everyday governance is handled by the Roman Senate (medieval version, the Signoria) who is headed by the Gonfaloniere. However the pope does have a huge influence in the governance of Rome and the States, making him virtually an elected prince.

Furthermore that is just Rome, it is called the Papal STATES for a reason: many other city states include it. Some are ruled by princes while others are republics. They have a modicum of autonomy but to enjoy the continued direct patronage of the Pope, they must pay the Denarii Sancti Petri (Money owed to St. Peter) a sort of Tax from a given percentage of income of the states.

Some papal states obeyed the pope and are de facto ruled by him, others gave him the finger, particularly Romagna, who used to belong to the Holy Roman Empire. Romagna continued giving the pope the Finger until Rodrigo Borgia assumed office and his warlord of a son destroyed them and made them kiss papal ass for a time anyway.

First decent Severan. It's a shame he was assassinated at such a young age.

Good kid, probably could've gone down as a good emperor if he wasn't such a mama's boy.

Anyone looks good compared to the tranny the preceded him. Anyway I genuinely like these daily threads, you should go full autismo and do Consuls next.

What evidence is there? Like the Norse themselves saying they did it for this reason in particular?

It does seem like a logical explanation, but do expect this discussion to be memed and shitposted to death by Crusader fanboys

They saw their southern kin get forcefully converted and have their way of governing destroyed, the Danes seeing it fit to build one of Northern Europe's biggest fortifications ((DanneVirke)) to ward of the Frankish threat.

I am afraid I don't got any quotes from them right now, but as I get it the Christians wouldn't call them Barbarians but heathens giving this conflict a religious dimension. Aside from that the only thing I can think of right now is that the Viking contact with the Christians had been peaceful up to the Saxon wars, the Viking attack on lindisfarne occurring relatively recently after said wars.

Xerxes was a propagandist. Plus, you can't really trust what Herodotus says; it is meant to signify the hubris, not insanity, of the monarch, in that this act means that not even the gods are superior to the king of kings

Grand conspiracies are literally impossible to maintain for an extended time.

There are mathematical models with very generous parameters that show this:
http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0147905

Good question that shows you're a smart guy.
No, grand conspiracies as imagined by some are almost impossible, because once you involve so many people some are bound to expose you either intentionally or by being careless, and chance of this increases during time.
Clinton and related e-mail scandals, while containing a lot of truth, are probably laced with pure lies for propaganda values. Standard operating procedure of Russian intelligence, the guys who actually acquired them and then used Wikileaks to distribute.
World is a far more chaotic place than people think. That's both scary and kinda relieving at the same time.

now people perceive colors differently but it's closer to khaki if anything

Firstly it's almost khaki, perhaps what you perceive as mustard are heavily worn and faded ones.

Secondly this was the optimal medium color to be used as a single color camoflage for the eastern european steppe flora and vegetation, during spring, summer, and fall

Thirdly the Red Army quickly began to transition into a darker green color for their field blouses/гимнacтёpкa by 43 to 45 in realization that a darker color would be more appropriate for urban fighting, along with the flora and vegetation of the new territories which it began to invade.

Its a serious failure in education that he abdicated to do his own thing over something like a divorced American.

I suppose its a good thing that someone without a serious concept of duty dropped out before ww2.

Dunno if you’re a Brit but as an American, we tend to look at that as not a big deal and would blame the royal family and British government for pushing him out.

> I suppose its a good thing that someone without a serious concept of duty dropped out before ww2.

That’s true, though I don’t think it’s an issue of duty but that Edward VIII was clearly pro-Nazi regardless of what he later claimed.

“Albert Speer quoted Hitler directly: "I am certain through him permanent friendly relations could have been achieved. If he had stayed, everything would have been different. His abdication was a severe loss for us."

>>1974128
I'm American and it was most definitely duty related, and you should at least have a little knowledge of that having seen the show.

To cause scandal over love and fail in his duty as monarch was just that.

The fuck?
Kindly elaborate.

There was a big fundamentalist Christian movement going on in the early 1900's. It's either that or just the general trend of secularism rapidly gaining ground in the 20th century.
