He didn't kill Darius or Xerxes, you mong

Also, he looted and burned Persepolis while drunk.

So we can agree that he was at least half nigger.

Not denying they lost.

Just saying that any respected historian should have considerable doubt that Alexander won his "battles" against impossible odds.

Also, he died of a fever LOL

Funny, I don't remember reading about their annihilation after the Iran-Iraq War.
>>
>>3364279
So are you saying that all the umbrians and picentes, samnites, etruscans etc weren't Roman?
>>
>>3364295
Their king got deposed during that war or right before so they literally destroyed their empire
>>
>>3364286
You're outright illiterate if you don't understand that Roman citizens were composed of every imaginable western ethnicity, very very much including Germanic groups. You're also retarded if you don't understand that Germanic generals and armies were the de facto power of the empire for hundreds of years

But by all means keep the memes coming
>>
>>3364296
no they weren't, they lived in the empire
are you saying egyptians were actually roman?
>>
>>3364282
All it lead to was Greek enmity which was answered with conquest
>>
>>3364294
German refers to the nationality and Jew refers to the ethnicity (in this case it can refer to their religion)
>>
>>3364308
Obviously they were

Good.

Nobody liked him anyway.

no not when being a roman citizen meant something at least.

Alright kids gather round and listen up before you make complete fools of yourselves in public.

A Roman is a citizen of the Roman Empire (am I going to fast?). Now, the Roman Empire, as the name suggests, consisted of many different ethnic groups. This was the case even during it's early Kingdom phase.

Germanic groups, especially in Gaul, we're Roman citizens for hundreds of years (over a thousand if we're including the Byzantines). What makes ignorance of this fact even more cringe worthy is the fact that the military (the actual source of power after and even kind of during Augustus) was massively Germanic. If ever there was an ethnicity to stereotype/ generalize the empire with, it would be Germanic.
>>
>>3364380
Gauls were Celtic you absolute moron
>>
>>3364380
the orignial city of Rome was populated by Greeks fleeing Troy's destruction so you're dumb as shit you filthy wehraboo
>>
>>3364338
>>3364353
There was no point whatsoever in the history of Rome where the populous could be generalized as a single ethnic group. It was heavily mixed right from it's founding, and subsumed other ethnicites right from the getgo
>>
>>3364403
so the civnats were right all along?
>>
>>3364397
>Actually falling for ancient Roman propaganda (which even THEN it was revisionist)
>Not understanding that you're legitamately retarded

Civnat?

>the military (the actual source of power after and even kind of during Augustus) was massively Germanic. If ever there was an ethnicity to stereotype/ generalize the empire with, it would be Germanic.
bullshit
germanics werent in gaul, they move there later
>>
>>3364424
civic nationalism
an idea that a country's foundations and culture don't need to be attached to an ethnic group. instead, immigrants and new citizens should be welcome as long as they are competent and respect the traditions and culture of that nation
>>
>>3364397
Is this bait?
>>
>>3364439
Oh cool. Yeah I guess that worked out pretty well for the Romans. I'm sure there are times/ contexts where that's not ideal tho but Id imagine theyd be the exeptions
>>
>>3364447
>not accepting the trojan war as a peer reviewed academic journal article
>>
The original Romans were nomadic, hence why they're called Romans
Because they "roam", y'geddit?

Countless Germanic groups migrated throughout Gaul during its Roman history. Also, way to complete dodge the argument.

Lurk more, really tho, it's a bit embarrassing

>died of basically a cold like a bitch

>Iranians become another regional superpower for basically the next nearly 1000 years
>and this is all due to Alexander
Yeah he showed them. Alex's 10 minutes of fame is probably the biggest trigger in resurgent Iranian nationalism in Antiquity following the fall of the Achaemenid dynasty.

Germanics weren't in Gaul in the 1st century BC, you mook.
