teach me everything about rome and its history.
because i want to have at least one interest in life.
but at the same time, being a zoom zoom, i can't focus beyond 1 or 2min.
so don't tell me to read a book or give me an article.
besides, its history is so lengthy that no single book could summarise it.
even wiki page on roman history is too long for me to read beginning to an end.

okay /his/torians educate me.

>venus has a thing for little boys and adored her own son
>aeneas escaped troy alive and dumped either andromeda or dido the later i think who was an ancestress to Carthaginians
>aeneas begot romulus and the other moid who tried but got killed. something to do with birds as an omen or some shit. or maybe i got things mixed up
>something about tarquins and overthrowing etruscan monarchy
>sons of romulus abducted lolis from sabine and bred them like you neckbeards do in your vidya.
>romans do white ppl thing and subjugate other white ppl in the peninsular
>something about samnites
>then plebs and senates keep bitching about the other so they make spqr and tribunes
>something about never ending wars with neighbours over and over again
>Brennus rapes rome at some point in the middle
>they subjugate the whole italian peninsula
>get raped by hannibal twice then do a revenge porn with maximus and scipio double penetration
>they fight the remnants of alexander
>gracchi bros murdered. start of populare vs optimate
>something about marian reform
>sulla does a coup and caesar also shows up
>caesar pompey then augustus
>something about claudian dynasty ending with nero
>5 emperors and crisis of 3rd century then aurelian then diocletian or whatever his name is
then the rest idk
>constantine divides east and west and...
that's all i know
>clovis I or his father allied with romans then fought off huns together just before rome was sacked and it ended.

okay tell me everything about Rome not just the history.
>>
like i want to know things beyond just the history.
like every tiny bit about them.
everyday lives, economics, society, politics,
education, clothing, items, symbols, religions,
cults, foods, demographic relations, their msm,
bureaucracy and administrations, crimes, markets,
beds, bedsheets, pillows, forks, spoons, dentistry,
drugs, border patrols, animals, their version of boomers,
their libshits and far right, their equivalent of nerds and computer geeks,
their version of conspiracy theories and alex jones.
etc etc etc
>>
they were kinda gay but not fags about it like the greeks
>>
teach me senpai

[44.1] He acquired a reputation for still grosser depravities that one can hardly bear to tell or be told, let alone believe. For example, he trained little boys (whom he termed tiddlers) to crawl between his thighs when he went swimming and tease him with their licks and nibbles. Unweaned babies he would put to his organ as though to the breast, being by both nature and age rather fond of this form of satisfaction.

Antoninus Pius was the closest the empire ever got to having a libertarian emperor. He cut taxes, strengthened the currency, and started no wars. He passed several laws designed to protect the rights of individuals and he tried to restrict slavery. His reign was peaceful and safe. Pretty cool guy who often gets overshadowed by Marcus Aurelius

I’ll post a couple cool buildings that are still around today

>The Pyramid of Cestius

It’s a republican era tomb that some rich Egyptaboo had built for his family. The architect fucked up the measurements and it was made too pointy by accident. The later Aurelian walls are built directly into it now.

>Pompeii's Amphitheater

It is the oldest surviving stone Roman Amphitheater and as far as we know it might be the first one ever built. It is far older than the colosseum and is a much more primitive structure.

>The Tower of Hercules in La Coruna Spain

The world’s oldest active lighthouse. It went up in the second century and is still mostly original. There’s an urban legend that on a clear day you can see Ireland from the top.

Get Audible and at least listen to some books.

>>18578519
Read primary sources? I have a book by some roman about cookery in ancient rome. There are probably also historians who wrote books about everyday life and the minutiae you are asking about

please don't

Don’t listen to byzaboo retards screeching about muh “Itz not Byzantium…. It’s… Le Rome!”, “B….but Marcus Aurelius spoke… Le gayreek!”

It was a rump state of Rome, following the state religion, the second high prestige language of the empire, and with many institutions maintained. It's a different stage of the same state only split for historiographical reasons.

that's pretty cool.
was egypt fever a thing?
were there as many egyptaboos as romaboos are today?

too bad we no longer have the alexandria one.

>It was a rump state of Rome
I'm not sure it fits the definition of a rump state, because the main powerbase of the Dominate was always in the Balkans/western Anatolia. Odoacer and Theodoric ruled Italy much like Ricimer, Aetius and Stilicho did, just without some incompetent puppet retard as Augustus
The Nicene Empire would count as a rump state, but I'm not

>was egypt fever a thing?
Yes, the Romans had a strong interest in Egypt-as did the Greeks, Archaic Greek sculpture was heavily influenced by earlier Egyptian art

There are still a bunch of ancient Egyptian obelisks in Rome. The Emperors loved Egypt so much that they stole a bunch of them and put them up all over the city.
>>
>>18579462
Ok, then here is all you need to know. Domition did nothing wrong and didn't deserve to be assassinated. The 5 good emperors are overrated. Julian was a retard that everyone worships.
>>
>>18579509
>Julian was a retard that everyone worships.
He was more of a larper than a retard but yes, the pagans couldn't really mount a decent argument against the christcucks by that point. Nobody really believed in divining the future with chickens any more and even Symmachus couldn't put a strong enough case together to restore the altar of victory to the senate

>Nexum was a debt bondage contract in the early Roman Republic. A debtor pledged his person as collateral if he defaulted on his loan.
>According to the Augustan-era historian Livy, nexum was abolished because of the excessive cruelty and lust of a single usurer, Lucius Papirius. He reports that in 326 BC, a young boy named Gaius Publilius was a guarantor to his father's debt, becoming the nexus of Papirius.
>The boy was noted for his youth and beauty, and Papirius desired him sexually.
>He tried to seduce Publilius; when rejected, Papirius grew impatient and reminded the boy of his position as bondsman and had him stripped and lashed.
>The wounded boy ran into the street, and an outcry among the people led the consuls to pass the lex Poetelia Papiria, which forbade holding debtors in bondage for their debt, and required instead that the debtor's property be used as collateral. All people confined under the nexum contract were released, and nexum as a form of legal contract was forbidden thereafter.
Progressive reform was passed because some faggot couldnt help raping little boys.
>>
>>18579857
were the romans the first to hold property as collateral instead?

it pisses me off every time i learn little bit more about the Western mindset
because i get to compare it with my background.
even when i was very young i admired how the westerners always
sought to challenge the ruling class or try to size up against the established class
if not outright try to live on an equal footing
while god damned slave minded easterners would try to murder their own whoever tried to live against the natural order.
it's demoralizing as a child when you watch your own historical shows and depicts a dude getting summarily executed for merely peaking at the monarch
while when you read a book it shows commanders of Alexander refusing to bow and kiss Alexander citing they are of Greeks not slaves like Persians.

I am going to say in the East there aren't that many ppl who try to live against the given factors.
They hate those who try to live beyond their stations or against the norms.
And it doesn't even have to be about wealth and it's could be as meaningless as personality or life choices.

Whereas virtually all legends, myths, tales of the West
is the individual struggle and acts of heroism often
against the prevailing odds and adversity.

The fuck is wrong with the East?
Even today, the only ppl bothering to put up any resistance to NWO are Western population.

Eastern population happily oblige to everything.
They actually do the work of the govt to ensure themselves to punish those who resist.
Yes, the west also have the normie population who are for restricting all indiviudal rights and freedom like dumb cattle they are
but there are also plenty of ppl who understand the issue
and are aware of the danger and often willing to put up resistance.
but the eastern population don't give a damn like good slaves they have been for thousands of years.

i don't get them. i never got along with them when i was there.
fuck them.

but you are now about the same as them.
