A city is well-fortified which has a wall of men instead of brick

To those who proposed to build a wall around Sparta, Lycurgus said: "A wall of men, instead of bricks, is best."

Because, assuming what historical records we do have are even close to accurate, just because you have a hundred thousand men, doesn't mean you have a hundred thousand men on hand.

This is a siege force trying to surround a castle in the middle of some nasty terrain, when most of the bridges and lines of communication are in control of the other side, it's not all that easy to get everyone where you need them.

>it's just a butthurted rant of ad hominem and strawmen

Basically this.

>>1681768
How though? Care to elaborate?

>>1681761
How about you read it and judge it yourself.

To test if it is indeed just:
>butthurted rant of ad hominem and strawmen
You read a few random pages. If not you read it all.

Good enough?

I admire their actions not them

>>1681566
Saint Louis' actions were a mixed bag, but what is truly admirable even in the present day is his moral character. His actions did not happen in isolation, they were an extent of his personality, morals and beliefs. It's not like with Napoleon for example, whose actions were great but morals were questionable (for one he was a serial fornicator).

>How does a republican combine his belief in the ideals of the res publica with his admiration of great historical kings
By admiring kings for their wisdom and competence rather than the position they occupied? Kind of a stupid fucking question.
>How does a republican combine his belief in the ideals of the res publica with his distaste of the weakness and self-destructive nature of modern democracy?
By reminding himself that by virtue of being a republican he ought to despise pure democracy as a concept anyway.

From those three, Menzies. He outright invents shit while Cahill and Zinn just cherrypick and exaggerate things which actually happened.

Honourable mention for Niall Ferguson.

>>1681335
Lol I'm not saying you have to agree with the three listed. I'm actually asking for more suggestions with a short explanation why. Sorry for not making that clear.

However if you do agree with the three a short explanation why would be good as well.

I'd reckonen 5'7 is fairly above average during that time. Average height in 17/18th century europe was around 5'7. It's only recent that people's height grew astoundingly, due to food overproduction.

>>1681147
> due to food overproduction.
food overproduction that caused demographic shifts, none of this malnutrition bullshit

>>1681154
Let me fix that a bit.

Average height in 18th century England/German/Scotland is around 5'5. Average soldier heights for that those countries are 5'6.
