How about no.

Pretty crazy we can actually still read what some guy wrote 2450 years ago. And evern crazier that most of it is much more intelligent and still relevant than what 99% of our population can write.

>>541 yes it gives many such feels and it is kind of cosy how little has really changed in thousands of years. the basic structures of human societies seem to be a constant also it is really neat how much they were able to travel around the mediterranean and how much knowledge the greeks collected and recorded about their world (sadly now lost), that he was able to refer to for writing his writenings

>>543 This My favourite writer is Cato. He is basically a Bernd - Describing autistically with exact measures how to plant a olive tree for example to gain maximum profit. Livius is nice too. All those past happenings he describes are interesting. The greek authors in roman time are bad tho. Polybios for example is very asshurt because Greece is ruled by Rome and it flues through every line he writes about Roman history.

good evening, can OP recommend me a book from Herodotus? Would appreciatre.

>>546 good morning, he only wrote The Histories so I would have to recommend that I guess it is comprised of many "books" but it's hard to recommend just one, maybe the one about Egypt where he tells about Cambyses' trip up the Nile and sending of emissaries to meet the king of Ethiopia >>544 that sounds cool I didn't get up to reading them yet I wonder what they would make of the modern world

forgot to attach my aisloppa

>>549 Do foreign countries have their own way for citing antic sources as well? In the germoney it's teached and common practice to cite antic sources like DNP does. (Der Neue Pauly, a big antic scientist magazine) There's a whole own ruling system about how citing antic sources. I'm studying a social science topic and history is my second topic and it's pretty annoying because social science uses APA-citing and history uses "history-style" citing and when citing antic sources there's even another way to do and special authors like Cicero and Platon have special rules to cite their works.Every book and every authour has it's own short form and you need to use those. >Tac. ann. 11, 26, 1 for example would refer to Tacitus eleventh book, chapter 26, paragraph 1. This is such a fucking annoying thing. I'm glad I did my old history exam already.

Noice. It's a very insightful and introspective reading. I'm currently going through Peter Heather's Fall of the Roman Empire and can recommend for Bernds interested in all the accumulative factors that lead to its fall. It's written in great detail. I'm also looking for pic related. It's not on libgen and I'm not sure if I'm willing to pay around 100 euros for book + shipping. If anyone knows other sites where to possibly get my hands on the material, please tell. I need all the possible sources on Quintus Sertorius, he's a truly fascinating historical figure. Philip Matyszak wrote a good book on him if anyone's interested.
