The Roman conquest of Dacia. It was brutal. We can see it in the Ancient DNA. The men are Roman soldiers/colonists, the women are eastern european native. The Dacians fought back. The King committed suicide instead of being taken prisoner. They knew what the Romans wanted. There was large amounts of gold in Dacia, so much it tanked the price of gold in Rome. Silver as well. Slaves too. Rome invested in a lot of building after it conquered it, roads, capital. They wanted it to be a permanent mine. Trajan’s Forum and Column in Rome was built from Dacian wealth.

People are dunking on this politician. And it is silly. But we're entering a future where 30-40 percent of people are perma-single. And their companions are their pets. It's the same reason people aren't having children. Because they are not in couples. Why are they not in couples? Because romantic love is the minimum threshold now. Not tradition, not financial need, not societal stigma. Romantic love. And romantic love is rare. Which is why you see so many pets in cities now. And it will continue to grow.

In representative democracy, a politician introduces a law to be voted on by other politicians. In direct democracy, a certain amount of signatures is needed from the citizen population to get on a ballot to be voted on by the population itself. Two different pathways Anything is possible in direct democracies

What's nice about Pompeii and the Naples bay at that time was it was a luxury zone in the Roman Empire. The richest people had villas. Money gathered there, and with it came patronage. The best painters traveled there to work for them. In this interesting greek fresco continuity style. The results were not matched for over a thousand years
