They called themselves roman sure but they didn't speak latin, didn't have an emporer and didn't worship the pagan gods. Hell even the architecture was different. So, roman or their own thing?
They were never Roman.
To be Roman you have to be from Rome. Venice was more Roman than the Byzantines ever were, because they were founded by actual refugees from the City of Rome.

What can you tell me about their battle tactics? How good were they at warfare?
>>950104
They where better at fighting than at warfare. I would attribute much to their religious beliefs as dying in combat was the way to get to vallhall

Tell me about the 7 year war /his/. Why was France on the losing end of another war?

Outnumbered like 50 to 1 in North America
Facing Frederick the Great in Europe
*Funny note: Austria was ruled by an Empress at the time and so was Russia, France was partly ruled by a women too so Frederick called their alliance against him 'The league of the three petticoats'

They were winning.
It was Russia shifting sides that won the war.

Is this the appropriate board to talk about theater? None of the other boards seemed to fit the bill.
I'm an [spoiler]aspiring[/spoiler] actor who has worked for a couple years. Going back to school in the fall for my MFA. How fucked am I bros?
It's probably better to just move to New York and work for a theater company or move to LA and work in TV shows or movies if you want to be a professional actor. Studying drama at university is better if you want to be a professor.
>>954643
I have interned at a theater company in NY, as well as moved to LA briefly where I was an extra for a few well known shows. The sheer number of people who want to be an actor is terrifying, so I figured that any leg up I could get would be beneficial. Plus, I can always teach if/when I don't "make it".
Hey, man. I love theater and go to acts. I'm from Spain but here there's no muchas tradiciĆ³n to see auditions.
>Winter
Freezing cold, constant snowstorms, miserable, deplorable supply lines and mobility because of snow., hypothermia.
>Summer
Wet as fuck, raining all the time, constantly need to protect against water born disease, terribad supply lines and mobility because of mud.
Is there any good time to begin an eastward land invasion of Russia?

Any time of the year is a perfect time to nuke Russia.
What are you looking at? Oh that dead whore on the ground.. Yeah..
She didn't give me a good time. So I gave her a bad time.
Anyways m8, you best not call the bobbies on me or you're next.
Not that I wouldn't enjoy playing with your bodyparts for a few hours but I am rather tired fucking around with this corpse all day.

anyone know anything about the Sellersville radium plants from the early 1900's? otherwise known as the Radium Company of America? Sellersville is in southeast Pennsylvania. Trying to learn more about it. It's supposedly a big cover-up in this tiny town near me. Couldn't think of where else to post this.
>>952301
All I know is that Radium was the Titanium of its time. Everybody put it on their brand, even if it didn't contain radium
t. Theodore Grey
Also, I could barely find anything about it on the internet. Apparently it was a site for mining uranium, and some of said uranium slipped into a a lake around here that turned the water a bright orange during the early 1900's. That's about as much as I was able to find out.
>>952320
That's interesting, considering it's a fairly deadly element.
Do you think that it makes us more anti social or is that just a meme?
Is it possible that it's screwing us up worse than we think or will we just evolve into it?
It's certainly changed YOUR mind because you think the word "meme" is some kind of catch-all term for "myth" and "fad" and "popular but stupid"
Well since communications is so close between people and that means the migration of different cultures clash constantly. Look at muslim traditions vs western influences. You cant revolutionize without being influenced by europeans
>>951894
Literally it made us significantly more social, due to things like this.
Virginia during the Civil War. They were a confederate state, and yet they housed the president, and where the one to raise taxes against the southern states?
I'm confused. Can anyone describe Civil War history in detail?
I still don't understand why Virginia didn't reunite with West Virginia after the war.

Is historical reenactment an actual employment option?
How would one get involved?
>>951129
The government of Japanese provinice Iga-Ueno, the Meme Home of Japanese Ninja Clans, recently put out an ad for full time ninja reenactors.
http://www.newsweek.com/ninjas-wanted-japans-bid-attract-more-tourists-436421
I guess you'd want to get affiliated with a museum or historical society of some kind. I doubt there'd be much prospects for full time work, unless you're basically a living exhibit in a museum, waving an axe and scaring groups of schoolkids.
There are some quite large organisations that handle reenactments though. The Sealed Knot probably has a few full time staff for example:
http://www.thesealedknot.org.uk/
>>951154
Interesting, but not really accessible to most yuropoors.
Is it a viable employment option, anyway? I heard people who do living history are often volunteers and hobbyists.
/his/ do you find it sad that no one will ever know everything that humanity knows? doesn't it feels that no intelligence will ever be truly "complete"?
>no glowing blue cock

you could at least give your opinion about the matter...

We must not regret that which cannot be done.
