A Roman poet named Sidonius Apollinaris wrote something quite interesting.>Happy is a nose that has never smelt a barbarian.The reason behind this is that the Germanic barbarians used to, for some retarded reason (?), apply rancid butter to their long hair, which naturally had a repugnant smell of sweaty butts. For the Greeks and Romans, northern Europeans were always strangers, people beyond the civilized borders of the Roman Empire. Yes, the Romans, with the fall of the empire, recruited a group of barbarians to expel an even worse tribe of barbarians. But there was a distance in relation to those Germanic barbarians who had a strange appearance, smell, speech, and even a funny manner. How strange, right?
>>18219090>Why — even supposing I had the skill do you bid me compose a song dedicated to Venus the lover of Fescennine mirth, placed as I am among long-haired hordes, having to endure German speech, praising often with wry face the song of the gluttonous Burgundian, who spreads rancid butter on his hair? Do you want me to tell you what wrecks all poetry? Driven away by barbarian thrumming, the Muse has spurned the six-footed exercise ever since she beheld these patrons seven feet high. I am fain to call your eyes and ears happy, happy too your nose, for you don’t have a reek of garlic and foul onions discharged upon you at early morn from ten breakfasts, and you are not invaded even before dawn, like an old grandfather or a foster-father, by a crowd of giants so many and so big that not even the kitchen of Alcinous could support them.Imagine the smell... imagine the smell, maybe living in those houses with barns was really difficult, right?
>>18219090Those pants are ugly, man. I work as security for establishments in Phoenix, and sometimes homeless people show up wearing pants that are very similar to these, even the color and everything
>>18219107they look comfy, i like the built in socks
>>18219102Romans are vampires confirmed. The italic fears the spear leek
>>18219107Everyone before indoor plumbing smelled like a sweaty homeless retard. This is a TRVKE that most people don't want to accept. Especially on this board.

>>18219132>Will never experience the scent of village maiden who I am betrothed to and who hasn't bathed in 6 months ± 10 yearsWhy even go on
>>18219132Not "everyone". Just most people. If you had access to fresh water to bathe in, you would do so. But most people did not have that. And therefore, most people had no means by which to bathe on a regular basis.Even most primitive cultures that live next to rivers had/have regular bathing sessions. Ironically, with cultural advancement and increased urbanization, came less bathing.
>>18219620>>18219621Stop seething, OP
>>18219179>socially acceptable to wear comfy pajamas in public back then>now it's infantile and unprofessionalGrim.
>>18219107Because they a 2000 years old you smooth "brained" monkey
>>18219620>>18219621More absolute bullshit from the Brazilian monkey Hitler was ignorant and didn't know those stone axes were from the fucking chalcolithic corded ware culture and were actually impressive in regards to the carving skill kys. I'm tired of these memes and tropes, they are blatant lies. What kind of smooth "brained" retard actually takes memes seriously? basing their world views on them? embarrassing you have the maturity of a 6 year old and the intelligence of a monkey.
>>18219090>For the Greeks and Romans, northern Europeans were always strangers, people beyond the civilized borders of the Roman EmpireFor real Europeans hispanic injun mutt monkeys like you are seen the same way.
>>18219107Because they are 2000 years old and have been sitting in mud for the whole time. Why are "people" on this board so painfully stupid?
>>18219620>>18219621Provide sources and archaeological evidence that the Germanics used stone axes in the iron age.
>>18219090In Iceland they would make pants out of the flayed skin of their enemies and wear them into battle and other ritual occasions. As for Meds complaining about garlic....well, that's just silly. This is just typical Medtard, manlet, MEGA-COPE!W-w-w-w-who wants to be t-t-t-tall any way, r-r-r-r-right, Mario? Sure, we prefer fucking each other in the ass, but when we bang our hairy-lipped """women""" they love the fact that we're also short, brown and hairy just like them! They're totally NOT lusting after "7 foot tall" blonde, muscle-bound conquerors that treat women 10x better than any Medtard """culture""" ever devised. Yeah, they DO NOT want that. They really do want us, r-r-r-right, Mario?
>>18220393>flayed skin of their enemiesVery subhuman if you ask me
>>18220422 No wearing the pelts of those beasts that you have hunted is and has always been a trophy and sign of status, no different from taking ears, noses, or heads. Now, EATING FORESKINS of helpless babies.....Now, THAT is very subhuman, isn't it Ira?
>>18220393Necropants werent for battle and they didnt need to be made from an enemy. It just had to be taken from a dead man on a new moon. Dont ask me how I know these things.

>>18219621romans literally learned how to make proper iron from the rhaetians who were celtic and not medshits
>>18219621The kingdom of Noricum was a major provider of weaponry for the Roman army from the mid-Republic onwards. Roman swords were made of the best-quality steel then available from this region, the chalybs Noricus. The strength of steel is determined by its composition and heat treatment. The wrought iron produced in the Greco-Roman world was too soft for tools and weapons. Ore from Noricum, by contrast, could yield a superior product. The ore needed to be rich in manganese (an element which remains essential in modern steelmaking processes), and contain little or no phosphorus, which weakens steel.[10] The ore mined in Carinthia (S. Noricum) fulfilled both criteria particularly well.[11] The Noricum discovered their ore made superior steel around 500 BC and built a major steel industry.[12] accept it meds were superceded by germanics you guys are the primitive ones living in the past larping as romans
>>18219621Why do /his/tards take what Hitler who wasn't an archeologist and didn't know anything about iron age Europe seriously?
