The only ones I hear about are usually Athens and Sparta, and occasionally Corinth. Were there other Greek citystates besides these? And did they have kingships like Sparta or a democracy like Athens?

Thebes is probably number 3. Phocis is interesting as well. You should read up on the Third Sacred War. Shit is crazy yo

There were about a dozen Greek cities along the coast of Anatolia, Miletus being the greatest of these. However, they were usually ruled by despots in the thrall of whoever was the regional power - Lydia, Persia, Alexander.
My dad sold my great-grandfathers German coin collection, that I was due to inherit, for 10$ How much was it actually worth so I can charge him the difference for being a dumb fuck.

You can exchange the "west" german money at any german Bank at the ratio 1€/2 Mark so in your case 65 Pfennige for 32 (33 if you're lucky) ct. The Rest is worthless old shit @

So I've been reading about Ostsiedlung. Tell me something, /his/, why wasn't the region modernly known as Czechia also colonized? It kinda feels like German migrants randomly stop wandering to that region in particular, but everywhere else nearby.

i apologize for question that may be stupid or unanswerable. i really have no clue.
how did the difference between the wealthiest and some generic middle/lower class dude change through/before/after ancient hegemonies? where did they get the actual value output at "ground" level, where did it go and how did the amount change per person? was there a generalizable trend for value of types of goods based on world situation?
TL;DR what was the world employed in and where did the income go during different eras

Sorry, but I need a decent excuse to read more than a sentence in a post that that has had zero grammatical effort put into it. If you don't care about your post then why should I?

I'm not so sure since I didn't take the effort to read your the OP. But feel free to spend a post pointing out how I put the effort into suggesting you improve your post quality as if that is somehow ironic instead taking an iota of pride in your prose by looking down and discovering wearing the shift key is.

Nothing can beat the Emperor of Battlefield, a Mighty Whip Sword. Whips are literally super sonic weapons, combine that with a sharpest blade known to man and you got The Weapon worth of being wield by The Jesus Christ himself.

With the Statehood day today, Slovenia celebrates its 25th birthday and is part of history according to /his/'s rules. Therefore, I've decided to create this thread where I will once again dump maps, but only those related to Slovenia. I will also try and answer any question related to Slovenia and its history all the way back to settling in the East Alps.
Unfortunately, I haven't yet had the time to translate all of my maps so if anyone has any question, ask away.
I'm starting off with a modern map of (purely geographical, not historical) regions and macroregions.

They had a borderline atheist, genderequality promoting, feudaldenying uprising in the 9th century that spooked the rulers so much that they allied with muslims to crush it.

Anyone else find Middle English far more pleasing to ear, heart and tongue than Modern or Early Modern English?

Sure, but only because of the "older languages always sound better because they're old" effect

Yes. Modern Englsih seems like Spanish in the way it's simplified, for example there being no distinction between plural 'you' or singular 'you' makes it seem so.

This is a bit of a request, please delete if inappropriate.
I don't come often on 4chan... what I'm looking for is one or more decent documentaries on what happened in Jugoslavia in the 90s.
I was too young to remember the details and would like to fill the gap.
I can understand:
>English (good)
>French (good)
>Italian (okay)
>Spanish (okay)
>Portuguese (kinda)
So I would appreciate if it wasn't the usual "history channel" thing or "discovery channel" documentary that is all about action and sensationalism.
I'd rather have something well-researched than something entertaining.
Ideally, I would watch more than one.
Anyway, to keep the thread open, we can discuss Jugoslavia, the war, etc.
While I wait for responses, I'll do my own research and post links when I find them.

Okay man... but I am curious about the unfolding. Who did what. How things collapsed. How the international community reacted.
How the strategy of the different armies unfolded... I don't feel I am asking for the Moon... but neither it's a 5 minutes thing.
I read some diaries of people who got caught up in sieges. But frankly I am missing the big picture and the military/political one in particular.
Please forgive my ignorance.

When we look back at the history of Northern Africa, Egypt is almost always the topic of conversation. But what about the surrounding nations? What were they up to?
