Given that the army of Imperial Germany was basically all of the ground forces of every German-speaking nation-state after the Franco-Prussian War, would the Prussian Musketeer (Musketier) be the Prussian equivalent of a buck private?

>would the Prussian Musketeer (Musketier) be the Prussian equivalent of a buck private?
One equivalent:
Grenadier, Füsilier, Jäger, Musketier, Gardist, Infanterist, Soldat, Pionier
Who are the most important philosophers to read in order to fully understand conservative philosophy, and in what order should I read them?

Start with Burke, go backwards and forwards from there.
I'm looking for a mention in some author, perhaps Thucydides or Herodotus --- although I could be deeply mistaken, and the man in question may range from Lucian to Plutarch ---, speaking of a statue of Venus being worshipped somewhere in Greece, which was nothing but a single column of black stone.

Feel free to use this thread to discuss the theological implications behind the worship of statues in Ancient Greece. Spengler spoke in the deepest manners about the difference between the understanding of statuary, especially divine, from Classical Greece to neoplatonicians. See Porphyr.
Representing heads, --- and busts! --- why not err further and put a goat's head on your gods, too?
The roman plastic arts, by the first century AD, had reached complete deliquescence.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paphos#New_Paphos
>Tacitus (Hist. ii. 2, 3) records a visit of the youthful Titus to Paphos before he acceded to the empire, who inquired with much curiosity into its history and antiquities. (Cf. Suetonius Titus c. 5.) Under this name the historian doubtless included the ancient as well as the more modern city: and among other traits of the worship of the temple he records, with something like surprise, that the only image of the goddess was a pyramidal stone –...

A question for experts on Roman history:
The senate of Rome used the rebellion of Vindex to remove Nero, but was the senate involved in the formation of the rebellion or was it just a lucky chance for the senators ?
Is that a bust of Chris Farley?

What is the secular interpretation of missionaries? Why would you send your most fit and eloquent members of society away from your country to risk being murdered by foreigners, and come home to find the most attractive brides already wed?
To tell people about a 2000 year old Greek fanfiction of a even more ancient Egyptian/Babylonian fanfiction.
Also like Hospitals or something.

>most fit and eloquent
What?
Are you going to claim celibate priests are "most fit and eloquent" next?
ITT: Post interesting history related things you recently found out about.

Peter the Great met with the Archbishop of Canterbury when he was in England. The Archbishop was apparently interested in a possible union of the Anglican and Russian Orthodox Church.
Never could have happened, very interesting, though.

>30 January 1938 in a nationalist "Wilno Journal", Stanisław Cywiński wrote following sentence in a review of Melchior Wańkowicz's book: "Wańkowicz[...] disproves the words of one cabotine, who claimed that Poland is like a bagel - what's only worth, is on the sides". The cabotine, he was reffering to, was obviosly Józef Piłsudski.

Otto Skorzeny worked for the Mossad post-war. Didn't know that,
So /his/,
I've got a 12 page term paper due in 4 weeks.
The class is U.S. History from precolonial up to Reconstruction post civil war.
The research paper can be on any topic so long as it pertains to U.S. History and is in the time frame.
What do you guys think would make the best research topic?
The Atlantic relations during the Napoleonic Wars
More so focused on American-French and American-British relations during that era
Any lingering effects of war from your countries? Any relations between ethnicity, citizen, or minority groups still unrecoverable even after decades?
Why can't people move on, when it wasn't them who experienced shit first-hand /his/?
Literally memes.
Even though a generation completely dies out, they had offspring that they taught. Even if the offspring never directly experienced the war, they were shaped by those that did. A thought can linger for many generations, some for hundreds of years or even millennia.

some people claim there is 'generation memory'
The USA is currently seeing a cultural divide of it's veterans, who are becoming increasingly insular, protectionist to their own, and bitter.
It's forming a counterculture, to say the least.
>I always have a problem liking things that I'm told I should like. This has been the problem with most of the Wonders I have seen so far. The fact that this one is called the 'Great' Wall of China annoys me. I'll decide if it's great or not. It might end up being the 'All Right Wall of China' to me.
Beats Zizek.
