  1. Nice one! No wonder the Romans were so aggressive on the world stage - they were constantly struggling with everyone around them. Throwing out the last king was just the beginning. The conquest of the Latin League, the sacking of Rome by the Gauls, the fight against the Samnites and then Magna Grecia, Pyrrhus, the Carthaginians, Hannibal, and then the path to Sulla, Julius Caesar, Mark Anthony, Augustus - civil wars - whew out of breath.

  2. If western Christendom was overrun by the Arabs in the 8th -9th century or by the Mongol in the 12 - 13th then Ethiopia might have been the last refuge of the religion

  4. There was a colony of Christians that settled in Ethiopia - they created churches built like crosses directly into the ground. Had the Mongols taken over Europe - or the Arabs taken Constantinople and moved on to take out the rest of Europe - this tiny bastion would have been the only remaining free Christinian community left.

  5. As Pyrrhus left Sicily for the last time, he turned back and said, “ what’s field we have left for the Romans and the Cathaginians!” - as a tear came to his eye.

  9. By the time of reconquista - which was well until the late 11th and early 12th century (4-500 years later), Europe had changed dramatically. The descendants of many of the Germanic tribes had taken up residence in England, France, Germany etc and had adopted Christianity. The Holy Roman Empire, Charlemagne, the Crusades were all galvanizing forces that united western Christendom. Then you had the more belligerent popes like Urban II and Innocent III that fully endorsed armed pilgrimages.
