Today in 202 BCE, the ultimate battle of Punic War II, The Battle of Zama. Scipio & Massinissa versus Hannibal, Rome versus Carthage. Hannibal had been recalled from Italy after Scipio invaded Africa. Through skillful diplomacy Rome had won over most of Carthage's allies.(Thread)

Virtual tourism of the past is awesome. Our latest history tour explores 9th century Baghdad and the House of Wisdom. It's honestly one of my favorite formats for sharing history.

Good thread proving that stereotypes of military cultures lack explanatory power. Real conflict outcomes don't sync well with these stereotypes.
Worth adding that Sparta is thought of as a militarist society of super-soldiers but saw itself as a society of heroic free citizens.

Statue of Ambiorix in Tongeren, Belgium, unveiled on September 5, 1866 in the main market square.
Tongeren is built on the site Caesar called Atuatuca where the 14th Legion was annihilated in 54 BCE. 🧵

Several recreations of Roman gladiators including a murmillo and a thraex. I saw these today in a special exhibition on gladiators in the Archäologisches Landesmuseum Baden-Württemberg in Konstanz, Germany which runs until October 8th.

You might think about the Roman empire a lot, but there's a lot you don't know
Our first #RomanFact is courtesy of D. Berger
Did you know that the null sign ∅ next to a gladiator meant s/he died in combat? Kalendio died in the match commemorated on this mosaic from Spain

ALT Colorful mosaic with a scene of gladiatorial combat. The bottom panel shows the combat between Astyanax (on the left) and Kalendio (on the right). Kalendio seems to be winning, he's thrown a net on Astyanax. The top panel shows the final scene with Kalendio on the ground bleeding. Astyanax (holding a large shield and sword) is declared the victor

#Roman denarius minted around 48-47 BC, it commemorates the victory of #Caesar in #Gaul. In the reverse a subjected #Vercingetorix and a "tropaeum" are depicted. In the obverse a female head is portrayed, probably Venus. This denarius is part of Roma Numismatics Limited.

Far from being a lonely ruler, Emperor Justinian was in fact assisted by a number of crucial allies. Not just by Belisarius, but also by his wife Theodora, and by the general's wife, Antonina. Read all about how these four accomplished great things: buff.ly/3P6brVD
