How did the Barbarians manage to steal Rome's legacy
>>18615205because barbarians and romans were extremely closely related, descending from the same 1600-1200BC late Bronze Age Tumulus culture.I'm pretty sure the Tacitus excerpt where he's seething over the Germanians being lazy brutes was exaggerated and the Romans probably pretty quickly realized these guys were their distant relatives.
>>18615205The story of the rape of the Sabine women is actually cope. The Sabines conquered Rome, half of Rome was Sabine, the first kings were Sabine, the Claudian family were Sabines.
>>18615205as it turns out, the inheritance was theirs from the beginning. but calling your rightful kings barbarians will gain you no rewards under their dominion
>>18615325the first kings were etruscan no?
>>18615338The last few of the 7 were Etruscan. Romulus co-ruled for a time with a Sabine just after the supposed rape of the Sabine women. After Romulus is Numa, a Sabine, and then the 2nd king after him was another Sabine. It's Mommsen's theory, not mine. But he makes a good argument. The story itself may just be propaganda to promote peace during the Social War.I made my own connection when researching the Julio- Claudians. The Claudian family was a Sabine family that came to Rome around 5th century BC and brought about 5,000 retainers. This family was highly influential in Rome for 500 years and ultimately became emperors of Rome. The family survived at least until the 2nd century AD.Most don't know it because midwit podcasters don't read Mommsen, and I don't know what modern scholars think of it, they are too busy re-imaging Rome as the evil patriarchy.
