@TheRestHistory If London was the home of men's fashion, and Paris women's, was there any resistance in France to the adoption of the 'English' suit? Any cross-Channel rivalry?

East Germany’s quest to overtake the West ('without catching up'!) prompted some remarkable technological innovations, but some of those also helped expand its mass surveillance apparatus.

Evolution of Roman Soldiers 200BC~300AD

[Tim Briscoe @Septimius_Brisc]

@DrCraig_B Serious answer: JFK?

[Tim Briscoe @Septimius_Brisc]

@DrCraig_B Joke answer: Nixon for the Watergate tapes…

[Tim Briscoe @Septimius_Brisc]

Interesting and possibly quite useful for 11 Modern History...

So here is some news. Tomorrow the fabulous @tweeter_anita & I begin a new podcast- Empire, sister pod to The Rest is History & the Rest is Politics. This week is the 75th anniversary of Indian Independence, so the first season is about British imperialism in India 1600-1947...

@nightlightguy @RomePodcast @DrRhiannonEvans Not intentionally...

@RomePodcast @DrRhiannonEvans @nightlightguy Admittedly, Theodosius was only born in 401, so possibly years as a child emperor don't count...

[Tim Briscoe @Septimius_Brisc]

@RomePodcast @DrRhiannonEvans @nightlightguy Excellent episode, and some great questions/answers (particularly the question on regional dialects).
Question on longest-reigning emperor - I, too, have thought Augustus, but what about Theodosius II (senior Augustus from 408-450)?

[Tim Briscoe @Septimius_Brisc]

@holland_tom @TheRestHistory Fascinating episode - thank you. Question: what are our sources for the late Byzantine inability to recognise/identify classical statues in Constantinople? I'd like to read more on this...

@dr_s_clarke @DrCraig_B “December sun in Hawaii” doesn’t quite have the same ring to it.

Am I a joke to you, Jonathan!?

[Tim Briscoe @Septimius_Brisc]

@dcsandbrook @TheRestHistory @DavidHuntGirt At least one Australian made it past the introduction…

[Tim Briscoe @Septimius_Brisc]

@DrCraig_B Another excellent question. I look forward to seeing the answer!

[Tim Briscoe @Septimius_Brisc]

@DrCraig_B Okay - two last guesses before passing the baton: going backwards, Space Oddity?

[Tim Briscoe @Septimius_Brisc]

@DrCraig_B Interesting. Off the top of my head, Let’s Dance (the album) was Bowie’s best seller (at least until that point).
