I wonder, was 4 sestertii much?
I know there's Greek contributions to Muslim civilization, as I looked it up on Wikipedia. (Yes I use it). But since the Romans had a wider sphere of influence as they conquered all of the known world back then, it would make sense that they had more prolonged influences on both the West and the East.
So what were some of the contributions that they gave to the Muslims?
>>1580899
I don't really know. I can only assume that it was casual things like medicinal practices, cuisine etc.
>>1580899
>(Yes I use it)
Nothing wrong with that, as long as it is not your only source of information.
ITT : good /his/torical TV shows/movies

Too bad it cost so much to make or we might have had the 6 odd seasons the writers wanted to cover the same period of time
>>1580806
And they barely had any real battle scenes, i wonder why it was so expensive.

>actually believing a Christian God
There's a God, but it certainly isn't Christian.
How do we measure what is the most correct religion? Is it by the amount of followers? European flavors of paganism have been usurped by Christianity, so now Christianity is the most true religion. If Islam were to supplant Christianity then would Islam be the most correct?
It's all spooks, anon
Don't get spooked
>>1580669
Mine is True, don't listen to other, they're all heretic and pagan who believe in lie.
Every religion is the most correct because they are all 0% plausible

Why is it that radical leftists accept hierarchies like parent-child, student-teacher, patient-doctor, etc, yet completely reject the laborer-manager and civilian-politician hierarchies?
What makes one hierarchy legitimate yet another exploitation?
>>1580485
By "radical leftists", I'll assume you mean Anarcho-Communists and Anarcho-Syndicalists. The idea is that the laborer-manager relationship is inherently exploitative, which hearkens back to the Labor Theory of Value. The argument that politicians and political institutions are oppressive rests on the belief that these political institutions are of the exploitative class, by the exploitative class, and for the exploitative class. Essentially, they believe that the rich pick the politicians, which there is some support for (McKinley v. Bryan), or that those with power will naturally abuse it (see: USSR).
Other relationships are usually seen as mutually beneficial. The doctor receives some compensation, and the patient is no longer sick. The student goes on to learn a trade, and the teacher is compensated. The sticking point is parent-child relationships. Some would say that a single, monogamous couple will oppress their children (Aldous Huxley argues the point in Island), while others see it as another mutually beneficial relationship.

Every time I hear someone whining about how someone telling blue collar workers what to do is unfair I wonder if that person has ever even met a blue collar worker.
Do Northern Mexicans have anything to do with lands north of the Rio Grande and in the American southwest? Historically and culturally.
>>1580356
>Republica del Norte
>Aztlan
Literally no Mexican wants this, not even the ones living in the states.
>California leaving the Union
I would cheer like a motherfucker, provided the people who live there stay there.
Does the common citizen actually care about the political system he is being ruled by?
>>1580251
Honest answer, not really. Average people are completely utilitarian, most people would prefer having a full belly and living in a safe home over political freedoms and all those other spooks.
When it doesn't appear to be working, yes.
Contrary to popular belief, the French Revolution didn't go down because a bunch of pretentious cloistered academics wrote a bunch of letters to each other until the common folk felt inspired to put their ideas into action. France's economy had been mangled by a war with England, and much more crucially, the cost of food in Paris was through the roof.
I think most people do care about the political process, but are discouraged by the fact the media's so obscurantist that no one ever knows what's going on
But I guess at the end of the day, it's the individual's responsibility to find out the news
How did Romance and Love died, /his/?
Apparently youths today have less sex than any generation since the 1930s. The cause is young people today have no money, and no one wants to take chicks back to their parents' basement
Can't confirm though, I've never had sex and I'm poor
>>1580258
I'm broke and I fuck like there's no tomorrow.
Also sex =/= love
How did Manchus go from the rulers of China to an irrelevant people with an extinct language?
They started speaking Chinese
>>1580028
Sinicization. Also many of the Manchu Generals were Hans who were dissatisfied with the Ming to begin with
Communism is a hell of a drug.
He was the hero the Empire needed, but that it did not deserve.
There's literally no reason to convert back to paganism other than a butthurt resentment towards Christianity
>>1580232
>not wanting sacred temple prostitutes to make a comeback
>not wanting a religion that is actually more in tune with how people are then focused on making them into something they can never actually be
Don't get me wrong, polytheism is ultimately as unverifiable as monotheism is; but frankly the abrahamic faiths have little to offer me that actually interests me.
>>1580232
Julian had more to offer beyond his return to paganism. His administrative reforms, his prudence in financial and legal matters - he was honestly on par with Marcus Aurelius.
Julian was an honorable man. Among many things, he:
-Fired all the useless courtiers and eunuchs and intriguers from the Imperial court to prevent them from enriching themselves from state funds
-Opened up inquiries in order to purge the Imperial bureaucracy of corruption and incompetence
-Attempted to steer urban centers away from the Imperial teat and to make the local governments much more self-sufficient (at this time, the Imperial government was wasting an incredible amount of money on subsidizing food for the entire Empire); attempted to devolve power back to the local governments (wise move, since many local governments were now so reliant on the Imperial government that they could not even respond to local matters)
-Attempted the return to paganism and to steer the Empire back to its tradition of philosophy and art, which the growth of Christianity - with its rejection of everything and anything remotely associated with the pagans - had stopped
10/10, husbando material.
Were people more barbaric in earlier times than now? As in, do you think people would still rape, kill babies, torture people if they could get away with it. If so do you think its because people are "better educated" now?
>>1579856
Back then, barbarians survived. Nowadays you don't need to be a barbarian to survive.
>>1579858
>implying all of these cuck genes didnt come from somewhere.
> because people are "better educated" now
More like because they got easier access to the cheap entertainment. It is way easy to watch an another porn video than trying to rape someone, why bother with torture if you can troll anons, or shit on youtube comments.
Was Augustus the single greatest leader of all time?
>He turned Rome into what it was always meant to be.
>Found Rome a city of brick and left it a city of marble.
>Consolidated power while keeping the peace.
>Ended a brutal civil war.
>Loved by the people.
If not him then who?
>>1579681
he also spawned a shitty dynasty of inept degenerates. Also, who's to say that Mark Antony wouldn't have made a better Rome?
>>1579689
He was pussy wiped by Cleopatra. His loyalty by then belonged to Egypt and not Rome.
