*Fun fact:* Speaking of chariot factions, even the most important members of Roman society used chariot races for ideological motivation. For example, the green team used to be chosen in chariot races by Agrippina the Elder and her followers, since Emperor Tiberius, who presumebly poisoned Agrippina's husband Germanicus, detested the team and considered a victory for the greens a triumph of his enemies.

Rome's fire brigade was several thousand strong and very effective. It was staffed by slaves who could win their freedom with enough years service, so many were long time professionals.

I agree that would be fascinating. I'm reminded of what happened to HBO's Rome series, though. Making the sets and costumes authentic and immersive was so expensive that they killed it after just a couple seasons. I do wonder whether those costs could've been made more bearable had they prepared for them better or known what they do now after that experience. Sets and costumes can be reused, after all, so their cost should be more bearable the longer the show goes on. That's presumably what they were thinking too.

For those of you interested in the Cult of Bacchus, the Steven Saylor's novel "Roma" dedicates a section of the book to the cult. One of the protagonists, who feels an unrequited sexual attraction to his close friend Scipio Africanus, decides to fill the void caused by such heartbreak by joining the cult of Bacchus and becoming his priest, initiating new members to the cult by anally penetrating them. Once the Cult is banned, the priest commits suicide just as the lictors head to his house to arrest him.

“A People’s History of Ancient Rome” tells a very different version of the fate of Claudius. First he changed his name to “Clodius” because that was the lower-class version of the name. And 2nd, they said that Clodius’s followers were of much smaller number than Milo’s and that Milo deliberately attacked them, with the purpose of assassinating Clodius. Don’t know if they are right, but I always trusted Peoples History to do their homework.

@brianmccarthy55572 жыл бұрын
True but Cosa Nostra is strictly a North American thing developed by Lucky Luciano and his Commission to distinguish themselves from the Sicilian Mafia and its Grand Lodge, the Cupola. Marranzo, who Luciano had first allied with and then killed, was sent from Sicily by the Cupola to organize the Americans in the Sicilian style. The Americans didn't want to be ruled by the Cupola, hence Cosa Nostra "Our Thing" or "This Thing of Ours". Even the Sicilians sent out to be Marranzano's subordinates like Bonnano went along with this, though Bonnano made an unsuccessful attempt to reestablish a Sicilian style Mafia in the early 1960's. The Italian gangs, though they follow the age old traditions of patron and client common to many Indo-European societies, not just the Romans, were offshoots of, and modeled directly on, the Grand Freemasonic Lodges in Italy and the rest of Europe. In Italy the Lodges were behind the Revolutionary and Risorgimento or Reunification Movement. Men like Garibaldi, whom Mussolini's family were closely associated with, were thwir military representatives. The Freemasonic Lodges, with their anticlericalism and anti-Catholicism, are still powerful in Italy, France, the United Kingdom and even Canada. They were a major influence on the early American founders including Washington and Jefferson (look at the symbols on a dollar bill), but not Hamilton. The male members of the English Royal Family, like King Charles III and his father Prince Phillip, and many members if the British Permanent Civil Service (who actually run the country) are Freemasons. So are the Orange Lodges in Northern Ireland who are the opposition to reunification with the still nominally Roman Catholic Irish Republic. American Cosa Nostra induction ceremonies and their hierarchical organization, along with enforced lifelong loyalty, are taken directly from Freemasonry. Freemasonic Lodges are clearly not inspired by Roman examples but have a darker history

Crime in Rome is very interesting. Because Rome, especially of the Republic, had really very few laws and no police force, so 'gangs' were really both the criminals and the police. They were largely composed of crossroads brotherhoods. That's why most powerful senators owned a ludus, because gladiators were also used as personal protection.

1:40 - Watch your neck there, buddy... Might join the animation pantheon just for hilarity factor.
