What's a common misconception about ancient Rome that really grinds your gears?
2025.01.24 06:01 Goon4128 What's a common misconception about ancient Rome that really grinds your gears?
For me personally it's the idea of the 'Marian' Reforms. Functionally none of what is described as happening in them was new or unique to Marius. Indeed, the most substantial reforms are either things that were already changing (and which Marius seems to have had little role in) or things which had not yet changed but which would, under Augustus.
Cohorts: Experimented with before Marius, especially in Spain. Marius uses cohorts, but there’s no evidence he systematized or standardized this or was particularly new or unusual in doing so. Probably the actual break-point here is the Social War.
Poor Volunteers Instead of Conscripted Assidui: Marius does not represent a break in the normal function of the Roman dilectus but a continuation of the Roman tradition of taking volunteers or dipping into the capite censi in a crisis. The traditional Roman conscription system functions for decades after Marius and a full professional army doesn’t emerge until Augustus.
Discharge bonuses or land as a regular feature of Roman service: Once again, this isn’t Marius but Imperator Caesar Augustus who does this. Rewarding soldiers with loot and using conquered lands to form colonies wasn’t new and Marius doesn’t standardize it, Augustus does.
No More equites and velites: No reason in the source to suppose Marius does this and plenty of reasons to suppose he doesn’t. Both velites and equites seem to continue at least a little bit into the first century. Fully replacing these roles with auxilia is once again a job for our man, Imperator Caesar Augustus, divi filius, pater patriae, reformer of armies, gestae of res, and all the rest.
State-Supplied Equipment: No evidence in the sources. This shift is happening but is not associated with Marius. In any event, the conformity of imperial pay records with Polybius’ system of deductions for the second century BC suggests no major, clean break in the system.
A New Sort of Pilum: No evidence, probably didn’t exist, made up by Plutarch or his sources. Roman pilum design is shifting, but not in the ways Plutarch suggests. If a Marian pilum did exist, the idea didn’t stick.
Aquila Standards: Eagle standards predate Marius and non-eagle standards post-date him, but this may be one thing he actually does do, amplifying the importance of the eagle as the primary standard of the legion.
The sarcina and furca and making Roman soldiers carry things: By no means new to Marius. This is a topos of Roman commanders before and after Marius. There is no reason to suppose he was unusual in this regard.

2025.01.24 06:01 MaintainSpec Emirates City Change in Owner, Rent Increse
Hi,
One of my friend had rented out an apartment in Emirates City, Ajman last year and is due for renewal this year March. In between there has been change in the owner. On renewal will he be able to keep the same rent for another two years, since there is a rule that says for three years there can't be an increase. Will the change in owner increase his rent.
If the agents say that there is an increase what should be his next step and what should he be doing.

I got an "invisible" zipper on accident for a head entrance, but it probably won't zip as easily as a zipper with bigger teeth. Can I still use it? Or should I just go get a new zipper?

I preordered the collector’s edition of Dark Ages for Steam but I’m wondering how I’m supposed to receive my code. I know that they would usually put the code on some sort of card in the package, but I’m wondering how that’s gonna work with the advanced access thing. Is my package supposed to come two days in advance or will I receive an email?

2025.01.24 06:01 BrownTown427 When life gives you lemons…
 | I debated what I wanted my town to look like in its final moments… so many great characters, buildings, and memories from the game dating back nearly a decade for me (with on and off periods of playing, of course) I ended up going with just Homer, Lisa, and the lemon tree. The first two characters, the catalyst for it all… and then the lemon tree representing the entire game itself. The sourness of microtransactions, and this shutdown… but also the beautiful growth. From a small seedling of a game to a towering tree, Tapped Out provided us resources that allowed us to have fun, to be creative… to make lemonade. But as the end approaches, and as the tree continues to fall, I just have one final message: Thank you, Tapped Out, and goodbye… (until I panic last minute and try to backup my server of course!) submitted by BrownTown427 to tappedout [link] [comments] |
