Let's discuss this great empire.
It was overshadowed by Roman state, but it was pretty interesting.

I'm the middle of studying it actually (casually studying it I should add). My main focus at the moment is the Cuban Revolution. I'm reading a book on modern revolutions, and one thing that is sticking out to me is how prevalent communism and socialism is in unifying the revolutionaries, and to be quite honest, I really don't understand what those words mean.

>>7569
I'm also studying Cuba, but my focus is in the XIX century revolutions.
Btw, IIRC the 1959 revolution wasn't initially communist/socialist, but meant to restore the old constitution,

Now we have a board, can we improve the resources document, add resources to any historical topics such as books, videos or podcasts. Hopefully we can catalogue a lot of resources so it could be stickied.

Brief History of Ancient Rome (Oxford)
The Annals by Tacitus
Revolutions and Revolutionary Movements, Fifth Edition
The Cultures of the West, Volume One: To 1750: A History (Oxford)
Out of these, I'd say I like Revolutions the best. It manages to be very concise and really opens up your views of both modern and even some ancient times. The others I don't care too much for, especially Cultures of the West. Ancient Rome is decent, but I think I'm going to get "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" by Edward Gibbon and "Rubicon: The Last Years of the Roman Republic" soon. Tacitus I haven't actually started, but I'll probably begin tomorrow once I've finished my current book (the Aeneid by Virgil).
Also, thoughts on pic related? Is it worth a read from a historian's perspective?

I've never found a single thing appealing about studying modern black history. How did you get into it?

Let's talk Greek mythology, modern pop culture uses assets of it freely and most of the time, inaccurately. What are your favorite Greek myths? What good life lessons can one learn from them?

Honestly, I've always like the Odyssey the most. Read a bastardised kids version when I was younger (called him Ulysses but still used the other Greek names) and it always stuck with me.
I guess lessons from it could be hubris considering Odysseus fucked him and his crew over all to get some kleos.

>Hercules (the film of Disney)
>Troy
Absolutely disgusting.
I like a lot of story but didn't not really learned stuff.

These were taken by Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii in pre-revolution Russia. Will give back story on some if anyone is interested.

one is a direct successor to that state, that for long periods of time held most of the former empire.
The other was set up over 400 years after the fall of the empire.

>one is a direct successor to that state
Only by a fluke of imperial succession laws. The Byzantine state had just as much resemblance to the old Roman one as any of the successor states in the west
