>it was considered offensive to touch someone on the head, to the point where violence often erupted

Indonesian here, this is actually still a thing in certain parts of Sumatra Island

>>1009866
Really? Can you explain the reasoning?

>Touching someone on the head
That's only something you do to small children and maybe your girlfriend.

Yes, they were up and coming powers. But it was each would serve to be the stepping stone into much greater glory. It just so happened that Rome won.

Also I'd say Carthage was a greater threat to Rome because of proximity, influence on surrounding entities (Iberians, Islanders etc) and economic power. The other Greek sons were fucking around with each other anyway and weren't an active threat to Rome as much as Carthage was.

Had Hannibal stormed Romes wall during his siege, he could have won the war, and Rome would have been a detail in history.

As a Hispanic and cultural heir to Rome and the latins I resent your cultural appropriation. IT'S 2016!! MAKE YOUR OWN ALPHABET GERMANIC LANGUAGES!

Not surprisingly the followers of Marxism fit one of those cathegories even today

I didn't know that young Marx was such a hottie.

It's not a serious problem in nature, it's just a result of hang-ups created by our own observations.

There are none.
Either infinite regresses are possible or they aren't and you can't argue your way towards one or the other.

>>1009070

Why not?

The idea should be easy enough to establish one way or the other.

Universe tells us localism is wrong for the last 50 years.

Well there's evidence that some quantum events are truly random, that is, not determined in advance.

But that hardly proves free will. Instead of your will being controlled by an inevitable chain of causality, your will is being controlled by a chain of causality with several random elements.

Same difference.

Could they not just follow a pattern we don't understand?

taro isn't productive enough for massive cities, also disease in the tropics, also the land hunter gatherers were on was worthless for agriculture

Genetics between human beings are phenotypical faggot. Separation of 100k years would be required at a mean if genotypes were to be differentiated.

Idiots like you are the shit the scientific method was invented to combat. Don't let the greatest mental software debugger in the history of humanity go the way of Logic just because you hate people of a different color from you.

>what happens? what kind of trial would they have for him?

they kill him.

a fast one.

>>1008764

He'd get executed. duh

A more interesting question:

Hitler doesn't shoot himself, instead he gets frozen in carbonite and thawed 500 years later by the fascist world government, who put on a Comedy Central Roast of Hitler.

What happens?

>>1008764
A very public trial that ends with him being publicly hanged.

Unless of course the Soviets who get to him first choose to take him in a live and torture him to death for a very long time, all while telling the rest of the world that he died and was burned to ash in the process.

Tell him it is merely his own reason that is inadequate.

No clue, but the exact same thing happened in the West as well. Medieval art generally looks like a retard drew it.

The trend had begun during the Roman Empire:

>The figures are stout and blocky, far from the verisimilitude or the idealism of earlier Greco-Roman art. The figures are stiff and rigid, the attire being patterned and stylized. Their faces are repetitive and they seem to stare in a kind of trance. Comparing them to the slightly later reliefs on the Arch of Constantine in Rome, Ernst Kitzinger finds the same "stubby proportions, angular movements, an ordering of parts through symmetry and repetition and a rendering of features and drapery folds through incisions rather than modelling". Noting other examples, he continues "The hallmark of the style wherever it appears consists of an emphatic hardness, heaviness and angularity — in short, an almost complete rejection of the classical tradition".[3]
>The question of how to account for what may seem a decline in both style and execution in Late Antique art has generated a vast amount of discussion. Factors introduced into the discussion include: a breakdown of the transmission in artistic skills due to the political and economic disruption of the Crisis of the Third Century,[4] influence from Eastern and other pre-classical regional styles from around the Empire (a view promoted by Josef Strzygowski (1862–1941), and now mostly discounted),[5] the emergence into high-status public art of a simpler "popular" or "Italic" style that had been used by the less wealthy throughout the reign of Greek models, an active ideological turning against what classical styles had come to represent, and a deliberate preference for seeing the world simply and exploiting the expressive possibilities that a simpler style gave.[6] One factor that cannot be responsible, as the date and origin of the Portrait of the Four Tetrarchs show, is the rise of Christianity to official support, as the changes predated that.[7] This shift in artistic style points towards the style of the Middle Ages.[8]

>>1008107
It really is bad. My friend is a proffessional artist and he said something to the effect "Roman art is inspiring. Dark Age art is worst than Jim Davis."

I think part of it might have been Christianity. At this time period the accepted theology emphasized man's weakness, frailty, and failures. Everyone was born with original sin, people were told pain and suffering is everyone and it's because of man's evil (ie you became sick because God is punishing you, everything bad that ever happened is because of man). This demoralizes artists and makes them shun greatness.
