@matthewlaurence3121 you were supposed to, because he was a bit of a pretentious dandy irl

I was once in the office of an Italian manager while he was on the phone, it was brilliant because he didn’t stop gesticulating with his hands the entire conversation in an every animated way, even though the caller couldn’t see him. I understood how ingrained it was as part of the culture then. He used to keep his hands in his heart when giving presentations to European audiences, and I was told by my Italian friend that it was to prevent him using his hands as it was understood that Northern Europeans don’t understand them!

Keep all mockery of the Jews to an appropriate minimum

Zoomer Stasi in fact it is, paraphrased

@mondaysinsanity8193 a Russian empire run by Georgians and Ukrainians for almost 60 years? You’ll be telling us Yugoslavia was a Serbian empire next 😂 good old American’s and your rudimentary grasp of geography and history never ceases to amuse the rest of the world

@rsync9490 the north is the whole north of Britain, the wall is Hadrian’s wall and so beyond it is Scotland, the wildlings are the Scots, before it is Yorkshire, Northumberland etc. winterfell is York. Riverlands and Westerlands is Lancashire etc, Dorne is Wessex. The Andals are the Angles, the reach is Wales and the West Midlands.

@عليياسر-ذ5ب not a fan of history are you? Never heard of Boudica? What about Holy Roman Empress Matilda, Countess of Anjou and Lady of the English, named Queen by her father, Henry I of England, as his successor in 1141 and who then went on to fight a war of succession with her cousin? Lady Jane Gray who was queen in 1553? Queen Mary I, otherwise known as Mary Tudor or Bloody Mary, who deposed her? Queen Elizabeth the first, who succeeded Mary in 1558 and ruled for 45 years? Queen Mary II, Queen Anne, Queen Victoria perhaps? Maybe you’ve heard of Queen Elizabeth II, she had quite a long reign.

@RexGalilae apart from drugs? They are drugs and are far worse than all the others

@harveywallbanger3123 why do you think so few right wingers go into education and academia?

@xergiok2322 the real Cicero was gay and this character came across that way too without making it obvious, I thought he played him really well. He wasn’t comfortable with violence, and that was apparent

@rsync9490 Germany and Denmark, there was no such thing as Germany then
3
@pedroavellarcosta9389 queen Matilda, the holy Roman empress is who you’re talking about, you’re quite correct. Her father Henry I named her as his successor

@petebondurant58 apparently no one in North Africa was at the time, or anywhere that’s regarded as historically significant by American gatekeepers of European history

Which is ironic since the Soviet Union was run by Ukrainians for longer than it was run by Russians

@jacksondurie2704 you forgot Wales and the rest of the brush isles, and the terms cannot be used interchangeably

@barrankobama4840 like William the conqueror is office considered part of the English national identity, despite the fact he and his barons were french Normans and not English in the slightest

Of course alcohol is a drug, it’s the gateway drug. Every drug addict started out by drinking, and the vast majority get introduced to drugs while drunk

@zacharybowles4740 that’s a belter!

@doublep1980 in dune?

@rsync9490 and Saxons and Jutes weren’t the same as Angles

@عليياسر-ذ5ب 1141 wasn’t the Middle Ages? You said “that’s a lie, kings of England did not let their daughters rule”. You didn’t say anything about Middle Ages or the renaissance. You were wrong, you don’t know English history and have probably got some medieval notions on the roles of women

Most romans and people from what is now known as Italy didn’t speak Classical Latin, anymore than most British speak the queens English. Senators and the most senior officers yes, the common soldier definitely not

@Pan_Z Americans always mention that and for most of them their ancestors hadn’t even traveled to the USA by that time
1
@TrueNativeScot because native American Indians aren’t American?
1
@soddinnutter5633 probably on purpose so they could cancel it. Ironically if it had gone to 5 seasons or more the dvd and streaming revenue would have been a lot now
1
In fact in Ancient Rome and throughout the Italy most Italians didn’t speak Classical Latin and could barely understand each other when they travelled, so the body language was vital for communicating within Italy and natives, never mind those from the wider Roman Empire and further afield

And most of their meanings are still well known in Italy

@barrankobama4840 the Kievan Rus isn’t a myth, it’s a historical fact from the history books I read, founded by the descend of Vikings I believe. It’s ironic calling Russians Soviets since the ussr and it’s politburo was led and dominated by Georgians and Ukrainians for far longer than it was by Russians, but it’s good for modern propaganda to pretend it was all and only Russian so we can paint them as the perennial bad guys, anything else would be far too complicated for the general American public

@henrykkeszenowicz4664 Jesus is Joffrey Jack Gleeson? Brendan Gleeson’s son who was in ex machina and Dredd?

@Chris-qn8bm *Macedonia

@airsir9559 oh really am I? Are they related? Fabulous actor

@sahq distinction between what, Macedonia and Greece? I would say if the people who live there say there is then is, who are we to restrict freedom? Personally I’d take a leaf out of the actors from in Bruges, who were absolutely excellent
1
@sahq and btw, Tito told me nothing but I notice that Yugoslavia was remarkably peaceful while he was in charge, and also had a very successful economy. Plus he told Stalin to fcuk off, and independently freed his nation from Nazi Germany
1
@airsir9559 he was superb in ex Machina and Dredd and completely different in each to the extent you would have no idea they were the same actor, I’d go as far as to say he is Dustin Hoffman like
1
@sahq Tito was a rude boy, told Stalin to do one and got away with it plus kept Yugoslavia in peace for over 50 years which since Americans took over is a monumental achievements
1
@airsir9559 aha ok thanks, are they related?

Instead we’re inundated with adverts from every angle. Working class women still seem to shout very loud but it’s rarely offering you something you’d want. Mind you, Middle class Karen’s are even worse

@RomabooRamblings What’s trepenations? I’d be interested in finding out whether the diet depicted is accurate, especially the street food

@shaggycan I thought he was very similar to Stephen fry

@Trazynn out was the same people who made GoT

@RomabooRamblings how about a video on Roman trade with China? There are first hand accounts from both sides and I think it would be fascinating to learn what was traded and why and what wa knowledge was transferred between the two cultures. Did the Chinese ever pay for Roman mercenaries or ask Rome to help them military?

The rich and powerful are still having drug fuelled orgies, and still perpetrating child trafficking for them
