"loving Romans and their loving coins loving everywhere" is an actual agricultural expenditure around my hometown, to the point of people needing a metal detector sweep in some places.

my dad posted:"loving Romans and their loving coins loving everywhere" is an actual agricultural expenditure around my hometown, to the point of people needing a metal detector sweep in some places. well most of those don’t have recognizable markings anymore so they’re probably from some other real (ie, not made up by the church) civilization. anything with roman markings was planted there by medieval priests.

Zodium posted:i'm a rome truther now This is pretty clear evidence that Rome is a meme purposefully built to twist the mind into accepting the logic of fascism and imperialism, an imagined virtuous past whose values we should all venerate today. my dad posted:"loving Romans and their loving coins loving everywhere" is an actual agricultural expenditure around my hometown, to the point of people needing a metal detector sweep in some places.

if Rome didn't exist, what does she think was happening in the geographical area now known as Europe and the Mediterranean for a thousand years? Where does she think the Church even came from?

Rome definitely existed but the real pill is that it was on the extreme periphery of a world system that centered around Chinese silk exports.

I’m really thankful for the nerds who figured out where minor events like construction of a minor temple in upper Egypt during the 3rd dynasty happened on the timeline of history. seems like a really annoying and thankless job But I Appreciate It

Where does she think the Church even came from? Where do you think the church came from? The bishopric of Rome wasn't a particularly important patriarchate for the first half of the medieval period. It's probably not too hard to dismiss the fairly scant earlier evidence of it's primacy as either ancient propaganda or inaccurate interpretations through a modern lense.

A Buttery Pastry posted:Her last point really sealed the deal for me. whenever you get people talking about things like a potential EU capital, there's always some Italian/Romance-language speaker suggesting Rome, as if it not being the capital of Europe is an offense against God. drat right! Only other options are Paris or Aachen. Anything else would be obscene.

There was the other time when the family dog got sick and when it was becoming clear that it wouldn’t last much longer Howard left home and stayed at a hotel for a week until he was sure the dog had passed, then came back home and pretended like nothing had happened. Pretty sad really
