Because they have literally nothing to do with Rome other than saying "We Roman nao".

>>606014

Because the Byzantines themselves were barely even Roman anymore by 1453. The senate (the S in SPQR) had ceased to exist even in name for over a century by the time the Turks knocked down the door.

Because they weren't Romans.

Is there anything particularly wrong with it? They suffered major setbacks in the 80s but have partially recovered. They're not gonna be as powerful as in the 70s but they are still a force.

2 or 3 generations into the whole "familia" and kissing an old greasy Wap's hand for one iota of 'respect' (fake mind you),

>pic related

decided he would literally shoot your dumb fucking greasy face off, live in the mansion himself, deal the drugs himself, and defend the drugs himself. the mafia's retarded as all fuck stratification, and 'respect' culture of 'knowing your place" did you in.

fucking organized criminals have to be the largest source of cultural aids ever devised.. They infect entire families of people who would have otherwise probably been decent.

Im glad little shit head Tony Montana's and Chief-Keefs have taken over these old fat fucks way of life. its the natural progression

Now the wetbacks control what the guineas had; and I have to say, the guineas were better at it

Augustine seemed to think sexual decadence induces decline. But I don't know how decadent Christian Rome was.

I always liked this one. The priest didn't care who he was, only that the man asked for his last rites in his final moments.

>>607556
I always saw it as a soldier running to the priest, overwhelmed by something. I say that because of his position, kneeling and clutching him, it almost looks like he's just having a breakdown. the priest, to me, just looks like he isn't sure what to do, like he's looking around for some other soldiers or something.

I'd love to read a book, just tell me which one.

Because the Medes are ethnically and culturally distinct from the Persians despite controlling roughly the same territory. That's like asking why the Seleucid Empire isn't considered the second Persian Empire, or why the Ottoman Empire isn't considered the Third Rome.

>>605597
But they were Iranic. Cyrus the Great's grandfather was an emperor of the Median empire.

>>605617
Again, saying they were both Iranic means very little in the Ancient world; that's like calling Thracians and Hittites the same because they were both Anatolian. The Medes were ethnically distinct from the Parsua, spoke a different language, had a different religion, and predominantly lived in a different section of Iran. That really makes them a different people.

the Aryans were the conquering nordic races that subjugated the more beast-like races of the Indian peninsula. They did not exterminate all the scum, but instead installed a caste system. Even today the Hindu brahmins are much whiter, almost European looking, when in contrast to those castes that collect shit, trash and feces etc.

This is all buckshot bait made by OP to start a conversation.


Stop.

Solipsism. It's essentially projecting yourself onto an inanimate picture and then claiming to fall in love with it.

Don't know what this style is called, but I've seen some Romanian icons using it

They more certainly should. They're a human subspecies after all.

All modern humans are descended from African Homo Sapiens, while Homo Neanderthalis evolved independently in Eurasia.
Under the One Drop Principle, Neanderthals were the only real white people in existence.

They killed less Christians than other Christians did in late antiquity/early middle ages

Just like there were American/British/Roman/Greek/Chinese warmongers and American/British/Roman/Greek/Chinese peacemakers, there were also Ottoman warmongers and Ottoman peacemakers.

Whoa, ruling class behaves differently when given 400 years to evolve. Shocking!
