>>48342353
I mean the dungeons and dragons part. I kind of figured most people here have seen the old roman graffiti stuff before

>>48342296
>not knowing that Pompeii graffiti is incredibly vulgar

It's basically all stuff like "Maxiumus has a small cock" or "For a good time ask for Julius".

I don't know mang, I mean look at this:
>II.3.10 (Pottery Shop or Bar of Nicanor; right of the door); 10070: Lesbianus, you defecate and you write, ‘Hello, everyone!’

Literal shitposting from millenia ago.

>>48342353

Pompeii was well known, in it's time, for having as many brothels as it did bakeries.


Despite Pompeii's good condition, it's not a very good way to learn about stereotypical Roman towns.
Among other thing's, it /wasn't/ a stereotypical Roman town. It was a tourist trap.

Literally half the town was summer homes for nobility.

I assume they translated the dating system to make it easier to read as well.

>>48359033
Presumably dates too are translated, as they likely either counted dates from some legendary foundation of Rome, or the years of their current king's reign, which basically meant nothing to most people outside the culture.

Anyhow, I've always loved the idea of conveying story with graffiti. I once considered trying to add graffiti related to the uniques in Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup (examples I can remember: some long string of shiposting banter between Pikel and Sonja and "A man sized etching of a scythe with a grin beneath the blade and the words 'Sigmund Sees")

Not true, the culture just evolved. That shit took time to get cancerous and forced. When a joke gets played out, you move on.

This is pretty much reason number 1 why reddit is so awful, as soon as a joke is introduced, it's immediately and completely fucked to death, and those comic necrophiles continue fucking it for years afterwards.

You can credit them with forcing jokes past their expiration date but it's not like we're much better. There are multiple 4chan boards that are basically just jokes past their expiration date.

I've actually mulled over the idea of a tv series(probably mini-series) about the Punic Wars

It would play heavily with the "One Shall Stand; One Shall Fall" sort of motif. The Punic Wars were literally the watershed moment in human history. Rome's victory in the Punic Wars shaped the rest of history.

>Billboard in Times Square
>Map of the Mediterranean
>Two red dots; one in Italy, one in North Africa
>They're both captioned as 'Roma' and 'Carthage' respectively
>Bottom of the billboard says:
>"The world is not big enough for the both of them".
>The Punic Wars

honestly, why are people not interested in historical epics? Even way back when they were still being made it seems like no one cares about anything more than two hundred years 'go.

The mediums, perhaps, but not the people or the humanity behind them. So long as there has been the sentiment, and the language to express it, there has been shitposting.

We are simply the latest and most technologically advanced in this great legacy of shitposting that stretches so far across the horizon of time that the mind can scarcely comprehend its breadth. A human inheritance that has outlasted even the strongest of man's monuments save for that which he carries in his very DNA. We might glimpse the fortunate splinters and shards of shitposting that survive the ages that we might also glimpse the eons that stretch our legacy stretches across, but let us find comfort in that humility that we might find camaraderie in the spirits of our shitposting predecessors.

>>48365365
>save for that which he carries in his very DNA.

>>48365193
Probably a fair amount of cheap ones (though probably no more than like three or four).
People really partying today blow like two or three grand for a wild weekend in Vegas (though that's somewhat artificially inflated by vice control laws, of which probably didn't exist for at least hookers in the ancient world, also probably expensive boutique drug formulations rather than getting wasted on wine).
So probably two dudes got two girls each and had a pretty nice night.

Receiving was unmanly as fuck, and if you do you're clearly not fit to lead a family or fight for Mother Rome.

But giving? If you're fucking a Greek slave boy in his boipussy, you can high-five your bros on either side of you doing the same thing to different slaves, then Hell yeah, nigga.

>>48371354
They didn't consider fucking something to be gay ever, but being fucked was considered almost as gay as giving oral to a woman, which was considered so far below the dignity of a man as to be inconceivable.

Caligula was heavily condemned for taking it up the ass, for example, even in a climate where he could quite realistically kill anyone who called him a homo.

I guess that makes sense, in retrospect.

>>48371354
The Byzantines by Averil Cameron briefly touches on the subject on page 121 to 123, and contrasts it with Christian social norms.

John Julius Norwich touches upon it a bit too.

The Fall of Rome and the End of Civilization by Bryan Ward-Perkins compares Roman sexual morality to German and Greek sexual morality and has the same conclusion as I.

The Roman Republic by Mike Duncan also briefly touches on the subject.

There are more scholarly works, and works which deal with the subject more directly, but these all provide a really good read.

Julius Caesar had to deal with accusations all his life that he had gotten buttfucked by Nicomedes (Being taunted with cries of "Caesar may have conquered Gaul, but Nicomedes conquered Caesar")

I wouldn't say that. There's a sliding scale of awfulness, from Normies (Chad/Stacy, facebook moms, etc.) To Cancer (furries, emos, bronies), interspersed with the right and left. It's like a graph.

Reddit is Leftist-Moderate Cancer, while 4chan is Rightist Cancer.

>Reddit is Leftist-Moderate Cancer, while 4chan is Rightist Cancer.
I hope you don't mean "right" and "left" in political terms. You shouldn't forget that 4chan, being 4chan, also has some pretty nasty perverted "degenerates" out there that other people on 4chan would burn at the stake if they had the chance

>>48374585

>>48374091
In theory but they don't store much data and are incredibly fragile, as opposed to something like stone.
The US military will use floppy disks until the end of 2017 because they can't be touched by hackers.
In all honesty, the best way to preserve shitposting in a digital age is through song. Back in the day, you could write programs to a magnetic cassette tape and play it in your stereo. It sounded like shit but it was playing the program, I feel like you could do something similar and inscribe it on something like stone that would then be translated into code in the future and shit.

The whole idea that stormfags infiltrated the site is ridiculous. They came to /pol/ to preach and either got triggered and left or started believing much crazier shit and turned into something else. Much like how 4chan's SJW faggots are a different breed of SJW faggots than anyone else's SJW faggots.

you new ass faggots know literally nothing, pre-2010 4chan would have been considered stormweenie central according to the faggot logic of 2016 4chan users. I'm not trying to sound cool for using 4chan for a long time because how gay/retarded is that to be conceited about, but you really have the facts wrong. this place really HAS become *relatively* leftist friendly in the past few years, enough that a significant group of people have understandably migrated to another chan that must not be named. every other goddamn post is "le go back to >>>/pol/", /tg/ + /co/ + /lit/ especially have really fell off the deep end of tumblr tier politics

>but early 4chan was left-leaning in the early 2000s when it was edgy to be anti-christian/liberal on the internet

true, but that's a relatively old phase of this community's existence compared to the 2007-2011-ish span of non-faggotry, and I don't look forward to returning full force into social justice retard mode. even then, nigger jokes didn't trigger the negative reactions they do now because the weebs didn't give a shit. this new leftist paradigm is the worst this website has ever been, so it's quite ironic for you to be complaining about some kind of "stormfag invasion"

I've been here since '05, God help me.

There are two things /tg/ has never given a fuck about: the topic of the thread and anything else going on on this site.

Remember when being gay was something 4chan hated? I mean, everything used to be about faggots. Then it was about autism. Now it's about SJWs. In a year or two, it might be about, I don't know, musicians or people who wear knee-socks.

Even the drawthreads don't call artists drawfags anymore.

I can't say I miss it. I broke those rose-tinted glasses a long time ago. Old 4chan was shit. New 4chan is shit. It's shit in the summer and shit in the winter. It will always, and forever be shit. To hope for anything else is idiotic, and to remember better days is delusional.

>the rose colored glasses meme

I never said old 4chan was "good", whatever that means. It was certainly cringeworthy in its own way, in the sense that people were a bit self-congratulatory and reposted bullshit over and over again giving birth to maymays in ways that aren't unlike front page reddit is now. If I miss anything from then it's the complete disregard for politics, but that has more to do with larger society. The worse problem is that the average person has become familiar enough with the internet to be an activist, now literally every retard on the street has strong political convictions and this dumbocracy is shitting up every corner of the web.

I looked it up, Latin was the official language, what they did all the documents and legal stuff in, but most of the troops and citizenry either spoke a kind of bastard latin or Greek.

>>48371774
>>48371803

That was only the high society, and strictly among themselves or when they wanted to ostracize a non-aristocrat. The battle-language and language of the commoner was still Latin, as always.

That being said though, an Equestrian Roman who couldn't speak Greek was considered to be uneducated by his peers.

>>48377876
Yeah, just looked it up *again* and being able to speak some kind of Latin was a hallmark of being a proper Roman. Apparently.

"Cuck" actually came out of /tv/'s Louisposting, in which people posted from the perspective of Louis CK if Louis was some radical anti-white. It then eventually morphed into BIG posting and then grew a quick permutation into BBC and then cuckposting. Cuck was also used a lot by /sp/ when taunting moot, as moot was acting like a beta cuckold at the time. It caught on on /pol/ and became ingrained in the board culture.

This sounds like I am joking, but it's pretty much the case. The bottom was a pariah, but the top not much at all. Bisexuals were basically the epitome of manliness.

>>48385578
I seem to recall that they didn't respect blowjobs either. There was an anecdote with a roman man who was confused over the blowjob (or something) he got from his wife because it was such a contradiction in his head and then his wife was basically a gay man to him.

They took the view that the person doing the action was the dominant (i.e, manly one). Kind of weird when you apply it to blowjobs, but that's apparently how they saw things. So yeah, receiving a blowjob would make you a pussy bitch it seems. Unless, you know, you took charge of the blowjob and skullfucked her. Then I guess it would all be kosher.

Moral of the story: when in Rome, always be the skullfucker, not the skullfuckee.

Necessary for his verses to be so.

If they are delicate and a little shameless,
And because they can incite an itch,
And I don't mean in boys, but in
