STOP ROME POSTING

I enjoy Rome threads, fuck you. The endless WW2/commie/nazi garbage is far worse.

>DUDE WWII LOL
nty

Post your shit instead of telling other people what they should post.

8 of the 14 threads that were on my first page, before I came to this thread, were Hitler/Commie/Nigger threads and I feel like it only gets worse every day. I feel like the mods/janitors for this board are a bit too lax with repetitious threads. Tell me again why generals are discouraged? It would prevent this flood of ass

I'm okay with Rome posting, we just need more posts about post-Diocletian Rome.

Everyone can create five threads at once. If you are that angry about cancer discussions just start your own good threads or support ones that aren't totally shit ones.

The Dominate era is the best era of Roman history.
What are some good books about post-Constantine Rome?

>>2760335
This. I'm so sick of ww2 threads.

The Byzantium series by John Julius Norwich are all really good and cover Constantine I to Constantine XI. I haven't read any other books on Byzantium yet, but those books are really detailed and have great anecdotes about the Emperors.

Fuck off Varg, you salty ass whiteboy.
Stop pretending to be French.

>>2760379
I mean something more immediate, covering constantius ii and the Valentinian and theodosian dynasties

>>2760413

There are three books in the Series that cover early, middle, and late Byzantium. Byzantium the Early Centuries is what you're looking for.

Agreed. Rome posting is overrated and gay. I propose Carthage posting.

>>2760452
Carthage posting is a subset of Rome posting though, seen as Rome is the only reason Carthage is known.

All the years of /pol/ have created a mass of world war enthusiasts. It'll be years before any other topics gain popularity.

It had its moment,s but let's not get ahead of ourselves here.

>>2760299
I agree that Rome gets talked about too much but enthusiasts of cultures outside of Europe are less common and they have their own special name, orientalists.

It is. It's fascinating as fuck if you know anything about the period. People are far too obsessed with the "muh great men" period of niggers like Trajan and Vespasian, who were lucky as fuck and started off with it all. Great men in the later Roman Antiquity tended to have to fight worse odds with smaller armies. Men like Stilicho, Aetius, and Majorian were god tier by comparison.

Late Antiquity was a time of spirituality, constant warfare, brutal usurpations, societal tremors that racked the known world and the few that tried to hold it all together, or retrieve what they could from the blazing, heap of shit edifice.

The problem with /his/ is that people here don't really care about discussing history, its more of a LARP board for /pol/ users.

>>2762450
Eh...not as good as the early late Republic (130 to 79 BC, I'd say). When shit got real, real fast, but Rome was still kicking ass and expanding instead of stagnating and bending over for Persians and barbarians.

>>2762489
That's just the view of a literal pleb. I'm sorry. You're the mainstream view because people really don't know their shit about Roman history.

>stagnating and bending over for Persians and barbarians.

Yeah because obviously that's all the Late Roman Empire was. The Romans beat the shit out of the Persians a dozen times and the barbarians were so shitter shattered by constant Roman punitive raids and espionage that they united into forming larger tribes. Even then they never destroyed Rome, but instead tried to emigrate into it and get employment and wealth. Rome killed itself, it was not assassinated.

>being contrarian is patrician
Yeah no. Also diocletian was a moron and there's only a handful of emperors past heraclius worthy of note.

>>2762549
>diocletian was a moron

He was literally the only emperor with the vision to even try and reform the economy.

>>2762553
>who is aurelian

>>2762622
Aurelian did almost nothing for the economy
Diocletian understood that just winning some battles would never be enough to re-stabilize Rome. He knew that the entire state had to be remade
