Enrico Dandolo was blind when he rammed his ship into the walls of Constantinople knowing that his men would be motivated to protect him and would rush into the fight with high morale. It worked too. Just thought that was worth a mention.

See those chains attached to John's horse? He ordered two bodyguards to chain their horses to his so that they could guide him into the melee.

I never knew that, pretty cool actually. You always hear how Venice was ruled by these filthy rich shady merchants, it seems strange for someone like that to take part in a battle

So Islam became fundamental because of it's unpopularity?. Also why did Egypt and Turkey (which were controlled by the Ottoman Empire till it's dissolution) turn out to be relatively secular countries while Saudi Arabia (also Ottoman) became fundamentalist as hell?

A cultural mix of all of these plus Illyrians likely.

>>3069411
The Original people who lived in the area were Illyrian tribes which were conquered and romanized culturally while retaining their native languages in some rural areas. Which is why the Proto-Albanian language survived

Caligula, Nero, or Commodus?
I've been learning about Roman history lately and these three stand out to me as the worst Emperors. They were all paranoid, narcissistic, unrepentant assholes whose said flaws did nothing to serve the state and two of them ended great dynasties.
But of the three, which is the worst?
24 posts and 3 images submitted.
>>
I think commodus was the worst. his shit seems even more rude and terrible than even nero and caligula.

I heard in this podcast (http://thehistoryofrome.typepad.com/) that he would travel to places, force them to spend their entire treasuries to build monuments, and then not even see them. He'd have dinners where he would force a inland town to import fish at great expense, or force a coastal town to import something from the mountains that was expensive, and then not even show up to the dinner. just RUDE.
>>
>>3069481
not to mention what he represents as the beginning of the end after a golden age
>>
It's not at all historically accurate, but the (great) movie The Fall of the Roman Empire made me really hate ngs never really get better after his rule the way they did with Caligula or Nero, so I'd go with him.
