Ephesus

Augustus made Ephesus the capital of proconsular Asia instead of Pergamum. It entered an era of prosperity, becoming both the seat of the governor and a major centre of commerce. According to Strabo, it was second in importance and size only to Rome.

There´s something special about Cicero´s death. It was extremely tragic and brutal, yet he knew it would end that way. He knew that if he kept poking Mark Antony he would end up dying, but the lovely thing about it was that he cared more fore Rome´s survival than his own.

@MedievalScholar The crusades were justified and cool

Rome was no imitation. Imitations have no soul nor purpose that could lead them to become such a powerful nation.
You have to understand the richness of Romes history. It was first a monarchy, then a republic and ultimately an empire that lasted almost 1,500 years.
In those ages every single culture mixed and shared traits of on another. Yet each one was different. Greeks even inspired their religion from the egyptians. So by your logic you could say they also were a imitation.

How many times were the jews expelled from Rome?

Rome was literally founded on a bird-watching contest.

Twin brothers Romulus & Remus couldn't agree on which hill to build their city on — so they let the gods decide by counting vultures.

Remus saw 6 first. Romulus claimed he saw 12.
Both declared victory. Neither backed down.

So Romulus started building anyway. Remus jumped over his wall to mock him.

Romulus killed him on the spot.
Named the city after himself.
And that's how Rome was founded. 🦅

Today 753 BC Romulus and Remus found Rome (traditional date). They were the children of Rhea Silvia and Mars. Their story is recorded by many authors including Virgil who claims their birth and adventures were fated in order for Rome to be founded.

Vercingetorix united a divided people against the greatest military mind in history.
Defeated him once. Nearly destroyed him twice.
Came within hours of changing the entire course of Western civilization.
His statue stands in Burgundy to this day, on the exact hill where he surrendered.
Looking toward Rome.

In 52 BC every tribe in Gaul did something they had never done before.
They united.
Under one king. One banner. One mission.
Destroy Julius Caesar.
They came within hours of succeeding.
Caesar was surrounded, starving, and outnumbered on both sides.
What happened next is still studied in every military academy on Earth.
His name was Vercingetorix. And he almost ended Rome's greatest story 🧵

Vercingetorix spent the next 6 years in a Roman dungeon.
Kept alive specifically for one purpose.
Caesar's triumph.
In 46 BC Caesar finally held his victory parade through Rome.
Vercingetorix was dragged through the streets in chains for the crowd to mock.
Then he was taken back to his cell.
And strangled.
He was probably 34 years old.
