Bunny thinks that to answer that question, Bunny would first need to begin with "What makes the Romans Roman" If Bunny were to assume, for instance, that it was solely a matter of genetics, well, quite a few of the Western Romans wouldn't be Roman. If Bunny asserted that all those who followed a governance which stemmed from Roman traditional rule and followed Roman governmental forms, Bunny would have to conclude that many later European polities were also "Romans" Is it following a certain religion? Character? Mode of architecture?

Ultimately, Bunny would say that the question devolves into either an exercise in political legitimacy, or, since Bunny's personal political opinions tend towards anarchism, of mere opinion. Bunny thinks they were not, as the Eastern Romans always had a profoundly different culture and character to the Western Romans, far more Greek, and for much of their history, far more feudal than the "Classic" Romans ever did; thus branching them off into a separate entity rather than a continuation of the same.

Bunny knows that if you believe your near contemporary sources, they were invited as protection of the local governor from Imperial displeasure.

Bunny is not sure whether or not this is credible; equally plausible seems to be that they were simply migrating on the path of least resistance and most plunder, and that took them to Tunisia. Lacking anywhere else easily plunderable from there, they set up shop.

What sort of sweets did people eat throughout history? I know the Arabs invented cubes of sugar they called Kandi or something and exported them to Europe along the Silk Road and Mediterranean, but I have always been interested in a more in-depth history of sweets.
>>
>>494313

Bunny thinks that it's fairly intuitive that greater access to information, especially if it's indexed easily, will make the sort of longitudinal analysis inherent in Annales historiography easier to do. It will also make such analysis far more precise for future historians studying present day trends than current historians studying events in the past.

Bunny thinks though, that the difference won't truly be profound. Historians have a way of digging up relevant material, and while more is better, the discipline isn't likely to fundamentally change simply because more and better data is available.

Bunny knows that the spread of rabbits into Europe about 40,000 B.C. had profound ecological effects that some credit with the decline of H Neanderthalis.

Bunny also knows that on a smaller scale, bunnies wrecked the first Portuguese colonization attempt of Porto Santo. We iz sowwies.

Bunny does not think anything defines the "White" race, at least not as such that can be agreed upon by all people so trying to define "whiteness" Bunny thinks it's a silly category anyway.

Bunny thinks that a nation is a political organization that exercises a monopoly of legitimate violence over a given geographic area.

Bunny is not sure why you would think that the classical definition of nations, or the nations themselves are deteriorating. What is wrong with the definition Bunny used?

As for what happens, well, from personal experience, there is a lot of hopping around the meadow, digging holes, and nibbling grass and bushes. Bunnies mostly co-operate on an ad-hoc basis, when watches need to be kept or the like.

The closest thing to a formation of rule that is bound to happen is that one bunny starts demanding other bunnies groom him or her. But most of the other bunnies ignore this.

>>494402

Bunny knows that Roman taxation was often subcontracted to private collectors, whom were empowered to take as much as they could get away with, pay a certain cut to their bosses, and kept the rest as profits for their work. There was no set amount to pay, just "as much as you can squeeze out of them". Caused problems.

As for feudal times, if bunny remembers bunny's reading right, it was often spelled out in the contracts that bound a lord to a vassal; often expressed in such terms as given rows of crops, or certain projects to be fulfilled, or services rendered.

By the time of the industrial revolution, more standardized taxes, paid in money were common.

Bunny admits, does not know much about Herr Hitler's personal life, and was never much interested in it.

>>494413

Bunny thinks bunny utopia would have fewer loud humans and more bunnies. Exceptionally disruptive humans might have to be sent to the time-out corner, or even the carrot mines.

>>494416

Bunny has not really looked into the subject, but would hazard a guess that as trade became widespread again, with larger distances that goods were traveling, more frequently, and with subsequently greater capital needs to mount mercantile expeditions, it would increase the need for credit and lending, and the charging of interest would come about as lending becomes less personal and more commercial.

But bunny realizes this is just a guess.

Bunny would hazard a guess that if they were anything like the Khazars some centuries later, they probably only had a monarchy and upper nobility who converted, as opposed to a mass conversion; and it was likely to try to avoid getting entangled in ERE religious wars that were always cropping up.

No, Bunny thinks that Communism is fatally flawed, not only in its assumptions about human behavior, but in its fundamental economic assumptions leading to the conditions necessary to spark popular revolution against something as abstract as an economic system.

Bunny does not know much about them, outside of what he read in Robert Graves's work on Greek mythology. Bunny seems to remember a lot of emphasis on fertility rituals, with the dominant social class more a caste of priestesses rather than a single queen.

>>494535

Bunny is not really sure, as not really beleiving in Christianity at all, bunny is not entirely clear about the different doctrinal and theological differences between the different branches.

Bunny does know, however, that Orthodoxy is mostly practiced in Russia, the various ex-Soviet states, a lot of the Balkan states, Romania, Greece, Bulgaria, and has small followings in Turkey.
