      I know you have to pay the bills and advertise but Hero Wars is just as predatory and awful as Raid Shadow Legends. You can play Hero Wars for free but to join a viable Clan and have some success you have to keep pumping money in. Every few months they bring out new hero's which remain the winning meta for a few months until the next batch are released. Started to play during lockdown and furlough but quickly quit after I realised what the set up was.

    Lovely. I would not necessarily agree with the "disappearance" of continental Celts from history. I see it rather as a "blending in" and adding their cultural features to the general landscape of early medieval society (and what followed). We owe to them a vast amount of toponymics, geonymics, foundations of cities (as settlements, not as civitates, of course), dialects and general customs. What was lost was the explicit geo-political victory, and the cultural awareness of the self, as a consequence.
    Think about it as a painting: later societies decided the main themes, but the background colours and general style bore the hallmarks of this great, genuinely European culture.

    Those are not crosses or Christian, they are Egyptian ankhs that are in no way connected to Christianity. The closest thing would be Coptic Christians who adapted the ankh by changing the oval shape to a round one. But the use of the ankh in this video to represent the spread of Christianity is very odd. A minor detail I suppose, but in terms of symbolism, it appears that Egyptian pagan practices spread across the empire.

      @@XxX-vi9if , yes indeed. The interesting thing is that in the bible, it says not to follow or celebrate any of the traditions or worship any other gods, change of seasons, sun, moon, stars or animals above, on or below the earth. It actually states which feasts any bible believer is supposed to follow, like Passover, the feast of unleavened bread, Shavuot etc.. So what I find interesting is that most Christians, who profess to follow or know the bible are actually contradicting what it says with their actions. They celebrate Christmas thinking that they are celebrating Jesus’ birthday, when in fact it’s the Saturnalia, or the Yuletide. So whether they like to admit it or not, they are definitely doing “demonic and pagan” traditions.

Ancient Greece, which Rome always looked at with envy and awe (even made Greek the second state language), at the same time achieved everything primarily through its own efforts and scientific, philosophical achievements. The same "barbarians", Celts and Germans - cause much more respect than Rome. In the end, Rome and the Romans turned to dust, where they all and the road.
