Probably all sorts of titles depending on the time frame. Princeps, imperator, augustus in antiquity and in the ERE basileus, sebastos, autokrator.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_emperor#Titles_and_positions

Augustus is probably the best.

Caesar became the title of the emperor-designate.

>>1289247
In the East, Basileus, the most popular or Sebastos, the Greek version of Augustus.

Hero.

Fuck the incoming /pol/ short-bus.

>>1289224
He didn't fly so good! Who's next?

I'm actually drawing a manga about his assassination. Technically he shot himself with an assault rifle, but close enough.

>Main characters have magic plot armor like in the movies

Great was a title used by all Persian kings, even Darius III who got btfo by the same guy who took the title when he became king of Persia.

It's the same idea with Shahanshah and the last Shah. What other kings was he king of? It's just a title.

tl;dr Fuck off John Green

There was only one great, its not a coincidence every one else stealing that title was a loser I could take in a fight with bad government policy

the Word of God is not a metaphor. why do you people still buy into NASA's lies that the world is round?

That view of the cosmos is still perfectly valid if you think of the "world" as being this entire level of reality. The ancient Jews, like the ancient Norse, viewed their 'world' as being their own concrete land because their imaginations didn't extend further. They were right about the categories, they just got the scope and scale of those categories wrong.

>>1288892
>he thinks the world is flat

Clearly OP's image indicates it IS round, it's just that the land is flat. When will flatearthers give it up and admit we're surrounded by firmamental waters?

>If Hitler only listened to his generals he would have won the war

I can't beleive people post that shit

A rudimentary reading into WWII will show you that most of Hitlers tactical decisions with the exception of attacking Russia and then Stalingrad, were pretty sound.

>>1288738
and it was actual the generals who ignored the logisticians and tried to invade russia in the first place lmao

Yes it is, but is also just so happens that sometimes those men who involve themselves in shit like that happen to hold power in some way. People with power grouped together are always planning and plotting shit.

It's not necessarily them who control the world, but rather the uber powerful and hyper rich who conglomerate with others like themselves.

>>1288588
It's a philosophical and scientific research organisation, but due to a huge influx of shitty members post-WW2, it's largely an alms-giving group. But there are still good lodges out there true to the purpose.

>>1288588
Aren't they just a long-running worker's guild for stone masons or something? All the secrecy and odd rituals don't really mean anything.

The original meme president.

Not because of his achievements or lack thereof, but because he was obssessed with his dick.

Hah! Yes, how could I forget to mention "Jumbo"? A true Texan--obsessed with size.

>>1288485
I actually don't believe he was a racist. While he used very racially charged language, he was white trash from Texas. It was just the way he talked.

I don't know why people on here will shit on Johnson. For some reason they think he was a proto-SJW, when in reality he was a raging misogynist with a massive dick obsession. I admire him not just for realizing that endemic poverty is the cause of the majority of society's ills but also for his brilliant political maneuvering. Even if you hate him, there's something admirable about the way he was able to get some of the Dixiecrats behind the Civil Rights Act despite the fact that it was political suicide to them. He literally would tell them that black enfranchisement would save their jobs, despite knowing that their constituencies were mostly white anyway.

And yes, he was involved in the Kennedy assassination, but Kennedy was a shitty president and he had to be removed.

>>1288392
Well, it didn't really have an application at the time.

Slave labour was cheap and plentiful.

>>1288412
Is that the only reason or are there others? I'm also not saying that this isn't a good reason, but just curious if there were other factors.

>>1288437
In order for steam power to be reliable for large scale mechanics (such as transportation, mechanised industry etc.) you need very VERY high pressure boilers and pistons. This necessitates the ability to produce high quality wrought iron in very large quantities, something that was not really possible before the 18th century. Without the metals and metalworking technology needed to make use of it, primitive steam power couldn't be anything more than a curiosity, as it wouldn't produce enough energy to drive anything of any great scale.

The other main problem was that the Romans had no way of making the connection between steam power and the need to drive wheels with it, as they lacked the single most important invention of the industrial revolution, the automatic spinning machine, the spinning jenny being what ignited the industrial revolution in Britain. Having automatic spinning machines gives you the ability to produce vast amounts of cloth insanely cheaply and quickly, these machines were driven by wheels connected to water mills, and unless you live next to a large and fast flowing river, you need some other way of driving these giant wheels, this is where steam power comes in. Without this technological and economic chain going all the way from production of goods to powering of machines, there is simply no need to have steam power, because it only forms one link in the industrial chain.

Even if the Romans had had the metal-working technology to take advantage of steam power on a significant scale, there would have been to reason to, as they did not have a technology to which they could apply steam power to vastly increase productivity, and to allow for productivity autonomous of natural conditions (i.e. the building of factories in cities as happened in the industrial revolution).

There were of course other issues such as the lack of large scale coal production, large scale textile crop production, and a large enough market to make it feasible.

>>1288239
That is one lazy fucking map considering the Romans knew damn well where to place the Hadrian and Antonine walls by determining the thinnest part of Britain with accuracy.

But you gotta be fucking kidding me about southern Italy though. That there has simply NO excuse to fuck up, while getting southern Greece somewhat correct.

First map to show the Americas as a separate continent from Asia (1507)

Why were the Chinese so hated in America during the 19th century /his/?

Typical fear of foreign influence trope which led to the entire treasure fleet getting scuttled.

>>1288213
It wasn't just the chinese. It was anyone who wasn't Anglo-Saxon.

>>1288152
ah yes this i didn't think many people knew about this

>>1288152
Do you have any source to back up your claims?
Also, Muslims do not believe in Muhammad, they believe in his message.

If you start to look in any direction with abrahamics you're always gonna' see a spiderweb of this sort of thing.
