@JackPosobiec @FrancescaHongWI I've always wondered why it's black and white but not yellow for asians. If you're going to do color reductivism, then stick with the theme. Don't mix your categories.

@cjneuendorf I've enjoyed many a fantasy or science fiction adaptation of the story, but they make no claims to be the story itself, merely adaptions. The same is true for the Iliad, the Arthurian cycle, and many other myths and legends.

Viking long ships instead of Mediterranean galleys.

@cjneuendorf Refusal to allow traditional institutions to use violence in defense of themselves and their people is a Marxist value. Anyone who uses violence to oppose the enemy in a just war, or to defend hearth, home, and family from looters, is a counterrevolutionary and should feel bad.

@BretDevereaux Unless I'm mistaken, the truly excellent miniseries with Armand Assante has a treacherous slave maid open the doors to free her lover Antinous, with Odysseus throwing a spear that impales both Antinous and the maid.

@YALiberty When you have a War Department, every action it takes is consequential. When you have a Defense Department, it can do all manner of things and nobody will blink, because it's all in the name of defense. Far better the former than the latter.

@AndrewCFollett War and preparation for war should be 90% plus of the budget, with the rest paying for the infrastructure to run the limited bureaucracy necessary to manage and control that war-fighting mechanism.

@CoelingAurochs It began in AD 632 and ended in AD 1028 (when the High Middle Ages began). Many people conflate Late Antiquity and the beginning of the Early Middle Ages, but the former was from AD 330 to AD 632.

Save, oh Lord, Your people, and bless Your inheritance.
Grant victory to Your faithful over the barbarians.
Protect Your republic by the power of Your Cross.

@MedievalScholar Rebalance the entire unit roster, with a focus on rationalizing the armor protection values and making composite recurve war bows competitive with longbows. Then play Byzantines.

@bennyjohnson But how many divisions does this judge command?

The order is so blatantly criminal, just ignore the ruling and see if he can enforce it himself.

[Matthew Neuendorf @MattDCreations]

@Timcast I mean, come on.

@pureMetatron Blinding. Surgically blind him and toss him on the street.

@UpdatingOnRome Alas, it's also wildly inaccurate. The pillars should crumble, then be rebuilt, then crumble, then be rebuilt, over and over until the end.

@Timcast My brother and I are watching the B&W version and are half way in. So far, so good.

Where are all the politicians and celebrities posting about the tragedy of Constantinople on this, the anniversary of the fall of the Queen of Cities to the barbarians? God have mercy on the souls of all the martyrs who died with their city and empire.

@The_JBS His monument was just completed when I visited DC in my youth. I walked through it mostly out of morbid curiosity. If I were made dictator-for-a-year, repurposing that monument, perhaps as a "victims of communism" memorial, would be pretty high on my action list.

[Matthew Neuendorf @MattDCreations]

@PopBase Fortunately, the Romans defeated them in the end. Unfortunately, the Goths were so obstinate that it destroyed Italy in the process, effectively handing it to the Lombards and the Franks.

[Matthew Neuendorf @MattDCreations]

@UpdatingOnRome Interesting how they don't mention the Mohammedans, against whom it was first deployed.
