Today i made bread
I have a question
How many citizens' assemblys and councils were there aside from the Senate? I remember patrician families had their own gathering, plebs had popular assemblys led by the tribune, but were there any more, and were they important after the Republic really kicked off?

There were a shit ton of different councils/courts/assemblies depending on the period.
Most important ones in the Republic were the Senate, Plebian Assembly, and the Assembly of the tribes which voted people into office.
>>420340
Honestly though what was the state of Rome at the end of the crisis of the third century? Did they still have a centralized government, working taxes, coinage, a standing army etc etc?
>>421980
Yes.
>>420969
Old style Latin writing was all capitals and no spaces.
>>421978
interesting, so the tribes one was based on the place of living people had in the city, right? like modern voters districts having their own ballots.
i'm wondering what happened to all these democratic gatherings once the Empire proper began, if they dispersed right away or if they still had some pull. The Centuria Comices just kinda stopped being heard of after the military went full Marian.
>>420340
>someone saved my shitty shoop

NEVER go full Marian
It literally paves the way for the end of the republic

The tribes actually included lands outside of Rome. What would typically happen is that politicians would force an election during harvesting season or delay the election by a week or two. The majority of a tribe's population would be plebs from the country side. The plebs would either be unable to attended the election or they could only visit for a few days because any day spent not on the field was a significant loss in income. A delay in election would result in the majority of the plebs leaving the city before the election resume.
So the only people who could consistently vote were the Senators and Equestrians. This would result in many tribal votes being decided by a small minority instead of the majority.
It was a constant political battle of mobilizing the plebs to swing tribal votes and attempts to delay the election to prevent this.
The democratic gatherings were essentially useless or ceased to exist. Consuls were selected by the Emperors, the Emperor gained the Tribunician power which used to be long to the plebs, and the Senate was subservient to final decision of the Emperor. The last avenue for the plebs to voice their opinion during the empire was crowd chants during games attended by the emperor.
>>422382
i thought it was sort of like gentrification, the patricians and rich kept buying the property inside the city where the poor plebs used to live and moved in from their villas
Who /gaul concubine/ here?
I civilized the qt and deflowered her after she passed her exam.

The patricians only lived on the hills though, plebs lived in the lower grounds.

Memes never die, they, like genes, become recessive traits in culture. Romans were the only other people history managed to record that were as dank as the modern internaut man. Their memes resonate with us more than their neoclassical fanboys could ever truly understand.

No, they were not. The Byzantines were an empire of decay.
The Byzantines were terrible at conquering: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GylVIyK6voU. [Embed]
The Byzantine empire was harassed by both the Arabic Caliphate, the Crusaders, and finally the Turks which laid the final blow.
The actual Romans overcame almost all of their military enemies that threatened them in this way, and even pre-emtively conquered and Latinized more land to form allies.
The Volsci. The Etruscans. The Latin League. Italy. Pyrrhus and the Greeks. Carthage and the Phoenicians. 750,000 Germans streaming over the Alps. Numidia. The Gauls. The Egyptians. The Judeans. Mesopotamia. The British Tribes. Numantia. Dacia. Even some of Germania.
The Romans slowly but surely took down the largest empires of the day, all while leaving relative stability and civilization in their wake.
All of this, starting from a small city located on several hills. All of this over the period of 500 years.
Not only this, but they unified most of these areas, Latinized them, stabilized them, and ultimately profited from their taxes and fighting-age men.
It is an insult to compare the Romans to the feeble Byzantines.
Io Saturnalia!

As far as I'm concerned, the Roman empire was destroyed in spirit after the crisis of the 3rd century AD.
>tfw Carthago fucking shits attack you with fucking mumakils
>>429731
You're viewing Byzantium as a new and revitalized Rome but you should really view it as Rome in decline which held out against barbarians for another 1000 years.
>>429772
More like several cycles of decline/revival. 1000 years is a long time, you know.

In the grand scheme of things they were declining since Justinian

Now that would've been an imperial contact worth seeing.
The Han Dynasty in it's peak encountering the Roman Empire around AD 100, when both of these empires were peaked.
Obviously the annihilation/oppression of the Parthians would've been necessary, but once completed, it would be interesting to see Roman legions fighting an organized Chinese force.
