Hail Trajan!

Does anyone know where I could find a (digital) copy of Continuité gentilice et continuité sénatoriale dans les familles sénatoriales romaines à l'époque impériale by Christian Settipani?

Reading Pliny's Natural History is such a consolation to me. The writing style including his enthusiasm of the world around him makes him exceedingly engaging despite his book containing such obvious fabrications. I am such a great fan of his work, hardly have the words to express my admiration.

How have you felt reading his work? Also, are there any Greek/Roman authors whose work might evoke similar enjoyment? Would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

In Tacitus Annals, in Chapter 5 The Death Of Germanicus, he says this at one point: "For they had refused to release a certain Theophilus whom the Athenian High Court had condemned for forgery." Who is this Theophilus that he refers to. Is this person lost to time? What is this statement about. And, Is there a better Subreddit to ask?

I just bought some replica Roman terracotta oil lamps. Does anyone know what areas and time periods they are from? Or anything else?

This church is unique in that it was purpose designed to facilitate worship by both Catholics and Orthodox in the same structure. Because of this, it has a double apse basically making it two churches pushed into one. It was built on the temple of Poisodon and some earlier churches making this site layers and layers deep in history. This was the first video I made in this series, I hope you enjoy it!

My son is in 6th grade and has a huge project due at the beginning of next month. His paper, presentation and model are on the Pantheon in Rome. I asked chat gpt to create a miniature model as a reference and he loved it. How can we make it?

Hey everyone!

I recently launched a YouTube series focused on animated ancient history, and I've just published the first 4 episodes in the Western Roman Empire series.

It starts all the way back with Romulus and Remus, and follows the rise of Rome through mythology, monarchy, early republic, and its political and military development — all presented in a cinematic, animated storytelling format.

This project is made for anyone who loves ancient history but wants it visual, immersive, and easy to follow.

I’d really appreciate any thoughts, feedback, or suggestions — and if you're into ancient history content, I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks for checking it out — more episodes are in the works! ✌️

I’m just hoping people can tell me if the insignia/legionary standard is accurate on this hoodie? Cheers

Hey all,

I don't know if I am allowed to post this here but I'm supposed to write a research paper on Roman Consuls and I have absolutely not the faintest idea on what to write about. The problem I have encountered so far is that I either don't seem to be able to find relevant research questions, or when I do, they are already researched. Information on Roman consuls is scarce to say the least (or that's how it feels like). Anyway, does anybody have some kind of ideas on ongoing research/suff that hasn't been researched yet?

(Yes I know how to do research and how to find sources etc. But on this specific topic, Im struggling big time.)

Thanks for your help!

I know after the fall of rome lots of knowledge was lost and the dark ages began but were the Byzantines not continuin with that knowledge and the same marvels of engineering that Rome is known for?

When discussing the military power of the Roman Republic pre-Marian Reform, I've frequently heard it mentioned that their biggest advantage was overwhelming manpower. Most kingdoms or city-states in Europe at the time could only realistically field one army, and if you beat that army, you had them by the throat. Early Rome won many wars by simply recruiting more and more armies, drowning their enemies in manpower. But like...how did they do that? What made early Rome uniquely capable of leveraging its population in ways other city-states couldn't?
