Why is Turkey so triggered by the existence of Kurds?
Do Iranians react the same way to Kurds?

How were the Roman patricians/emperors referred to in their private life by people? Was Brutus called Brutus or was he Marcus or Marcus Junius Brutus? Was Octavian Octavian or Augustus? Tiberius? Caligula?

Judging by the texts we can assume that Brutus was referred to as Brutus, for example, but that could simply be a formality, i.e. how he would be addressed in text or in the senate.
We simply have no idea about many Roman colloquial mannerisms.

>The praenomen was a true personal name, chosen by a child's parents,
>Roman men were usually known by their praenomina to members of their family and household, clientes and close friends; but outside of this circle, they might be called by their nomen, cognomen, or any combination of praenomen, nomen, and cognomen that was sufficient to distinguish them from other men with similar names

I don't know if this is the right place, but why not a thread for (anti) war songs?
https://youtu.be/Vzdh0fv8RMk
This song has different versions (this seems to be a shorter one), but it's basically about Death in war. From what I know it's a song composed in WWI that was also sung in WWIi

Great song. The Dardanelles campaign is specially pointless in WWI, I don't get why most generals had no idea what they were doing in early war
Is Hades the most misunderstood god in history? He is always demonized but he just does his job it's not like he sends every single soul to Tartarus or that the guys who are in Tartarus are innocent to begin with and as for Cerberus (at least in the version I've read) he is actually nice to the guys who enter Hades he just goes pitbull mode if someone tries to escape.
Also why is Grim Reaper demonized as well? He is another figure that does nothing wrong yet everyone treats him like shit.

And the Grim Reaper figure only got invented during the Black Death when people thought they were seeing a skellington with a scythe behind the town just before the plague struck.

>In October 1599, the parlement of Paris officially petitioned that Henry marry a princess worthy of his dignity. Henry took note and began considering candidates from several foreign states. According to Sully, however, he ruled out a German wife, on the grounds that it would feel like going to bed with a wine-barrel.

How did monarchs from the past and today get money? Did the royal treasury just give it to them? Did they rent royal lands? Did they just say "fuck it, I own the treasury, all moeny is mine"?

Well, yeah. They physically owned the state.

Alright, I'm the way below shit-tier pleb when it comes to arguing philosophy. But, I know that semantics can give way to many arguments being made. And right now, nobody off or online would give me convincing arguments as to why one definition is right, and why the other is wrong. So, please, tell me, /his/ which of the two is the right one? I wanted to post this on a more intelligent board, but fuck it, I love the shitflinging in this board even more.

See, the problem is that, until we've clearly established that the "atheism is a lack of belief" argument is moot, we're still going to get this argument being thrown, again and again and again. Much like the Shroud of Turin.

How important was tin towards the formation of long distance trade routes. I have heard it relative scarcity to bronze age societies created a demand that allowed for the formation of many trade routes.

Supposedly tin trade routes stretched as far as Afghanistan during the bronze age.

It almost begs the question how bronze was discovered in the first place.

How are there no green dots on Sardinia if it had the biggest amount of copper mines in the Med next to Cyprus?
Either way most swords in Scandinavia were made of mainly Sardinian copper during the bronze Age according to a recent study, but I don't know about tin.

Periodization is a pretty Eurocentric thing, so I started thinking about ways to better divide the ages of human history according to human world-wide discoveries and real life-changing events.
So far I came up with:
The discovery of fire.
Agriculture based societies.
Discovery of intercontinental sea routes.
Industrialization.
I feel that there's a considerable age gap between 3 of them, and I feel that perhaps the discovery of intercontinental sea routes is just a stage of a process that started with the first trade routes and continues now as space exploration and therefore souldn't be considered as a defining moment of human history like the other 3.
What do you gues think?

OK discovery of fire is so far back I think it kinda stupid to include it.
I think my division would be
>Homo Sapien expansion from Africa
>Farming/Domestication
>Metallurgy
>Industrial Revolution.
All those funded tally changed humans I was not sure whether to include large trade routes like you.

Except it's fucking not. Periodization has always been relative and serious historians do not use terms like "Medieval China" or some shit.
They tend to use the LOCAL TERMS for such periods.

>T'ang China.

Why is it that saying "Anon is Jewish" is less rude than saying "Anon is a Jew"?

Because saying "Anon is Jewish" is just stating a fact.
Saying "Anon is a Jew" focuses more on the individuality and seriousness of being Jew.
It's sort of like someone saying
"I like black people"
vs
"I like blacks"
It ends on what they are Jewish/Black, so the emphasis is on that, rather than the person or ethnicity.

Old Bolsheviks are frequently accused of antisemitism...
But Trotsky probably killed the most Jews, right? His operations against Makhnovite peasants happened in heavily Jewish areas of Ukraine. It's possibly that up to 20% of the anarchist peasantry was Jewish.

That's what happens in any civil war.
Exterminating people isn't just a racial thing.
It can also be political, religious and social.
If people unironically think this prof of "antisemitism" they should hang themselves.
