Wait, where was the G*rmanic simping?

She suggested that Marcus Aurelius wasn't a good Emperor for the G*rmanic tribes he slaughtered, acting like they were PEOPLE or something, or like they shouldn't have been grateful for having Roman civilization brought to their barbarian lands! (also it was self-defense, but I get what she was saying and why she didn't meander off into the details)

I also regret that she didn’t go into the sexual norms they did have, or put the guy who was concerned about being black at ease that they wouldn’t have noticed or cared, and would be more concerned about his lack of a “civilised” language. Both sexual free-for-all Rome and racist Rome are common misconceptions that basically come from recent history.

Berber man with citizenship who speaks good Latin: "Make this man one of the most powerful in the Empire!"

G*rmanic 'person' able to phenotypically pass as from any part of Italy: 🤢

Getting your dick sucked by a man = Very manly!

Sucking a man's dick = Effeminate, and probably Gr*ek as well

The past is such an interesting place, in how it challenges our preconceptions about the values in our own societies by demonstrating some... really wild deviations from modernity, lmao
