  1. Ravenna, the midwife of Europe

    That's been a very interesting update. I imagine that part of the the higher social mobility isn't just found in the more decentralised state of the the WRE and the reforms so far, but also in the fact that there is a certain amount of catching up to do after the chaos of the beginning of the...

    May the gospel of the Lord spread far and wide. Also lol at Philippos and Alexios running scared from the papacy. They'd rather life their rest of their lives peacefully and their afterlife in heaven than be pope.XD make the Easterners see reason?

  3. Ravenna, the midwife of Europe

    It‘s sort of a table of ranks?

  4. Ravenna, the midwife of Europe

    The challenges might be greater, but from my reading it looks like the Sassanians are actually reforming for the better while the ERE continues mostly as is.

  5. Ravenna, the midwife of Europe

    Looks like the Sassanians are recovering from that pointless war better than Constantinople.

  6. Ravenna, the midwife of Europe

    The story is very dense in information, which is it distinguishing feature as far as I am concerned. Other than that I am not sure what to suggest. It is fairly obvious that you are trying to touch on every aspect of the Roman world, so there is obviously nothing wrong that I could ask you to...

    Can't let that obvious smear stand, right? Well, at least we can be fairly certain that Theodosius won't be a terrible emperor and Valentinianus will seemingly be a strong political force in the future. In addition with Adericus their family seems to have a firm foot in the power structure of...

    The senate must work. The horror.:rolleyes: Also yes, Attila is becoming the Scourge of God! Duplicated.

  9. Ravenna, the midwife of Europe

    When it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Words to live by. I got to say that I’m curious about Athaulf’s view on the Romans that he imparted on his son. Athaulf was born outside of the Roman Empire, so having a particular “outsider” look on the empire can be expected, no matter how much the Goths have...

  10. Ravenna, the midwife of Europe

    The moment I read the title I knew where this was heading and these greybeards did not disappoint, throwing hands like they were young altar boys. :D That said, all things considered the synod managed to smooth over the big sticking points, even if the last point only flew because people were...

  11. Ravenna, the midwife of Europe

    Funny what people get up to when their world isn’t metaphorically falling apart around them.

  12. Ravenna, the midwife of Europe

    Ensure that everyone can come to the Council, remove anything that can be used as a weapon from the meeting place, lock the clerics in there, throw the keys away, surround the place with soldiers from East and West and do not let them out until they all agreed on the canon. So what if they all...

    So, what did Claudiones do here? A verb is missing. Anway, never easy to have horse mounted nomads as neighbours. At least Latin and Greek is spreading among them, so hopefully the peasants can soon be understood by the Hun(nic nobles) as they scream for mercy.

  14. Ravenna, the midwife of Europe

    Well, that was a pointless side-quest for the Romans. Almost as if Armenia isn't really worth fighting over with the Sassanians.:coldsweat:

  15. Ravenna, the midwife of Europe

    Never a dull moment for Aetius. That's Roman military life for you. :D

  16. Ravenna, the midwife of Europe

    Ah, what would church history be without church disputes?;)

  17. Ravenna, the midwife of Europe

    Fingers crossed that the Huns don't decide to act up now.

  18. Ravenna, the midwife of Europe

    Yeah, 65 million for the first two centuries AD sounds about right and I've seen that number quite often. That said, with a population of 4.5 million Jews would make up nearly 7% of the empire which on its face is just a very substantial part of the population. I'm not saying it's wrong, it's...

  19. Ravenna, the midwife of Europe

    That sounds pretty high. How large would the entire population of the Empire be during that time, you reckon?

  20. Ravenna, the midwife of Europe

    It will be very interesting to watch how the political and religious culture of the two Roman states will diverge due to happenstance and political realities. The West couldn't copy the East even if they wanted to, after having been badly rocked at the start of the century. Even if they are...
