Hitler, he trolled Germans so hard they're still feeling the effects of his prank.

when titus or homer or someone said about romans visiting a house in some country each night and they all had amazing silverware and how rich they must appear but was in fact being moved house to hosue every day to show how much money they had and little they needed outsiders.

Pretty sure those girls would need veils irl. Nice painting regardless.

Greeks didn't really do full faced veils, and these vases from about the same time ~5th century BC show women with bound up hair.

Earlier Greek art shows women with long, unveiled hair.

The most recent leader of Boko Haram. They have this long running prank going on where the Nigerian government kills the leader then a few weeks later they wheel out a body double of the leader and claim the Nigerian gov is a bunch of incompetent retards, then they kidnap more school children to marry off to their soldiers. This has happened 4 or 5 times now and it only gets funnier with each iteration.

Are you sure? So Athenian women during Plato's life didn't need a veil to walk outside?

If I had to wager, I'd say no, but maybe.

It was never like Islam would be. That myth of the Islamic Burqa coming from Byzantium is just complete BS.

>>2329005
Also, Greek women didn't do a lot of walking around outside

Brutus. He literally pretended to be retarded and ended up driving off the King.

>mfw people are trying to Historically Revise Elagabalus' reign because they interpret him as trans

Even if the dude hadn't been nuts, he still only ruled for like 2 years, doing basically nothing other than being crazy.
