Any and all books welcome. I'm looking specifically books about asset planning and dynastic capital but I'm open to just about anything related to /biz/.

Don't know any books but starting a "philanthropic" foundation/tax shelter is pretty much the key to maintaining dynastic wealth.

Hey 4chan I found this bust at a local thrift shop, I've been trying to figure out who it is modeled after if anybody. The material is clay looking like bronze if anybody knows who this is, any info would be appreciated
Sacajawea perhaps? Or Pocahontas?

This was the best president. You know why?
Here I'll give you a hint: he didn't do much
Because the more you do in office, the worse it usually gets. Prove me wrong, /his/.
>>3244945
Lincoln did "much", and most would say he's one of the best.
Besides, Harrison did a lot, his death and John Tyler subsequent presidency set the precedent for vices to take over if the president died in office (which happened quite a bit after Harrison).
>>3244960
Doing alot is bad, see look this website proves my point and you wrong: http://listverse.com/2013/12/05/10-reasons-lincoln-was-secretly-a-terrible-president/
Did the gods have a religion? Or at least a unified belief system?
Surely, there must be some literature on this.
i don't think theres anything in the myths to suggest they did have any such beliefs
>>3244369
I'm sure plenty of people thought about this sort of thing
"turtles all the way down", and all
im not sure if anyone wrote any of it down though

How could someone trained as a patrician not see the utter pointlesness of this? The axioms are fucking ARBITRARY.

>Analysis of ancient Roman coins has shown that the defeat of the Carthaginian general Hannibal led to a flood of wealth across the Roman Empire from the silver mines of Spain. This finding, which gives us a tangible record of the transition of Rome from a regional power to an Empire, is presented at the Goldschmidt geochemistry conference in Paris.
>The Second Punic War, where Hannibal famously marched his elephants across the Alps in a failed attack on Rome, has been regarded as one of the pivotal events of European history. Rome entered the war as the dominant power in Italy, but emerged an empire1. The war led to the conquest of the Iberian Peninsula, with the Romans gradually gaining control over the lucrative Spanish silver mines from around 211 B.C. Revenues from the rich Spanish silver mines coupled with booty and extensive war reparations from Carthage, helped fund the expansion of its territory.

>>3243787
>Now the application of geochemical analysis techniques has provided proof of the importance of the Spanish silver to the Roman conquest. A group of scientists based in Germany and Denmark and led by Prof Fleur Kemmers and Dr Katrin Westner (Institute for Archaeological Sciences, Goethe University, Frankfurt) analysed 70 Roman coins dating from 310-300 B.C. to 101 B.C., a period which bracketed the Second Punic War. Using Mass Spectrometry, they were able to show that lead in the coins made after 209 B.C. has distinctive isotopic signatures which identified most of the later coins as presumably originating from Spanish sources. The changing origin of the coin bullion is mirrored by differing ratios of the lead isotopes 208Pb, 207Pb, 206Pb and 204Pb, which serve as geological clocks recording the formation age of the ores used to extract the silver. After 209 B.C., the lead isotope signatures mostly correspond to those of deposits in southeast and southwest Spain or to mixtures of metal extracted from these districts.
>"Before the war we find that the Roman coins are made of silver from the same sources as the coinage issued by Greek cities in Italy and Sicily2. In other words the lead isotope signatures of the coins correspond to those of silver ores and metallurgical products from the Aegean region", said Katrin Westner. "But the defeat of Carthage led to huge reparation payments to Rome, as well as Rome gaining high amounts of booty and ownership of the rich Spanish silver mines. From 209 B.C. we see that the majority of Roman coins show geochemical signatures typical for Iberian silver".

>"This massive influx of Iberian silver significantly changed Rome's economy, allowing it to become the superpower of its day. We know this from the histories of Livy and Polybius and others, but our work gives contemporary scientific proof of the rise of Rome. What our work shows is that the defeat of Hannibal and the rise of Rome is written in the coins of the Roman Empire"
>Commenting, Professor Kevin Butcher (Department of Classics and Ancient History, University of Warwick, UK) said: "This research demonstrates how scientific analysis of ancient coins can make a significant contribution to historical research. It allows what was previously speculation about the importance of Spanish silver for the coinage of Rome to be placed on a firm foundation".

I have an assignment on the history of The knights of Templars and I'm want some good information about them. I'm pretty sure the rest of the class will have almost the exact information where you can pretty much easily find but I want my research to be different. Can you give me any links to anything that can be helpful to my research?

>Rage and sorrow are seated in my heart...so firmly that I scarce dare to stay alive. It seems that God wishes to support the Turks to our loss...ah, lord God...alas, the realm of the East has lost so much that it will never be able to rise up again. They will make a Mosque of Holy Mary's convent, and since the theft pleases her Son, who should weep at this, we are forced to comply as well...Anyone who wishes to fight the Turks is mad, for Jesus Christ does not fight them any more. They have conquered, they will conquer. For every day they drive us down, knowing that God, who was awake, sleeps now, and Muhammad waxes powerful.

How different is the interpretations really from the Bible if you ignore any interpretations based on values foreign to the books such as the enlightenment or humanism?
different

any interpretation of the bible is gonna be based on values foreigner to the bible itself by definition. What are you asking?
