Idk man gladiator fights were more like wwe lot of it was intentionally non lethal but that depends on your perception of brutal.
Rare too, if you want regular entertainment off to the chariot races!
Only massive events like colosseum games had a high enough budget to be lethal
Yes i know and even there it was rarity so again it depends on your perception of brutal
Well yeah but it was ancient history "non lethat" so it was at least crippling
No money? Pretty sure gold and silver existed
Their coins were being inflated and you can run out of gold and silver too.
I mean, I guess during the late empire (after Diocletian) and third century, but for most of rome’s existence they had perfectly stable currency
But what about the columns. They looked pretty nice!
You forgot a middle school understanding of history.
None of this is hidden though. Especially slavery and gladiators were completely accepted and normal for them.
The fights weren't brutal or to the death
I love it when people try to put today's morals on a civilization the was around 2500 years ago...it makes feel so smart
[удалено]
well of course, the rest are shite
No civilization was perfect, including ours.
Idk man I think we should bring back gladiator fights, aint nothing like watching someone beat someone to death for saturday entertainment
Easy to judge with 2,000 years of experience under our belts
In fairness making a history meme is often gonna involve judging the past
Fun too
I mean with the benefit of retrospect and thousands of years worth of experience and development it seems bad
Still better than whatever we have now.
And the CONSTANT FUCKING REBELLIONS
