  1. Ravenna, the midwife of Europe

    To be honest, very little changes compared to OTL, in the three types of pagans of the time: the non-Christianized peasants in the countryside, the foederati, especially among the Alans, and the Laeti and the Roman senatorial classes. If for the first two typologies there will be a sort of rush...

  2. Ravenna, the midwife of Europe

    Bear in mind that in this TL, for a series of economic reasons, slavery will have a slightly different evolution compared to our world and that this rule will continue to be valid... Also because like OTL the Jews will essentially have domestic slaves and/or employed in artisanal activities...

  3. Ravenna, the midwife of Europe

    Since it is aimed at lawyers and courts and not at students (who will train directly on a sort of equivalent of the Pandects) there will be no difference between Institutiones and Codex (which will halve the number of professors of Roman Law in Italian Universities :happyblush ) Similarly to...

    Keep in mind that this is the lowest estimate I've found... On average, in the other demographic texts that I have at hand in the university library, they give around 20% more than these tables

    Threadmarks: 42 The Wandering Jew

    42 The Wandering Jew The attention of historians in 429 is concentrated, perhaps too much, on what is improperly known as Bellum Maurum Secondum. [1] As Procopius of Caesarea recounts, Anicius Petronius Maximus kidnapped and raped the betrothed of a rich local landowner, a sympathizer of...

    Threadmarks: 41 A look at Constantinople

    41 A look at Constantinople It is interesting to note how the two branches of the Theodosian dynasty, East and West, were applying a totally opposite approach in managing the part of the Empire that had fallen to their lot. While in Ravenna, first reluctantly, then with growing awareness, the...

    Threadmarks: 40 Censua

    40 Censua Beyond the events of Britain, the interests of Galla Placidia, in 428, were concentrated on a much more important and controversial issue, resuming an old idea of Honorius, that is, carrying out a census populi Romani atque Foederati, [1] which had become increasingly necessary due...

  8. Ravenna, the midwife of Europe

    If you think about it, ignoring the phenomenon of deserters, which compared to OTL we can reasonably consider to be smaller, the discharge for honesta missio was obtained after 20 years of service and that for emerita missio after 24 years... If the age of enlistment it was 18 years old...

    Threadmarks: 39 The Days of Britain

    39 The Days of Britain In the first half of the 4th century, despite the restless neighbors and the resurgences of independence, Britain was now an integral part of the Empire and could boast a population estimated at around 1,500,000 inhabitants and wealth due to flourishing agriculture [1]...

  10. Ravenna, the midwife of Europe

    First of all, he continues to be bishop of the diocese of Aeclanum, he will not be deposed (among other things, Aeclanum will never be abandoned, as a city) and he will continue to dedicate himself to theology: if his controversy with Augustine will be less harsh, however, unlike OTL, he will...

    Threadmarks: 38 The bishop of Arelate

    38 The bishop of Arelate After the crisis of the early 5th century, Arelate was in full economic and urban development, as demonstrated by recent archaeological excavations. [1] The Duplex Arelas [2] as Ausonius calls it, on one side extends along the river towards the South, passing the...

    Threadmarks: 37 Peace in Africa

    37 Peace in Africa The Suebi gold, in addition to giving Galla Placidia the opportunity to return to dedicating herself to her passion for construction, allowed the Empire to finally close the story of the war against the Mauri in Africa. First, funds were sent to pay for Comes Bonifacius's...

    Threadmarks: 36 The Empire is founded on Law

    36 The Empire is founded on Law As highlighted other times, if Honorius was a strongly accentuating personality obsessed with micro management, he was in fact one of the emperors who legislated the most, addressing the disparate aspects of daily life, Galla Placidia was very different. Unlike...

    Threadmarks: 34 De Civitate Dei

    34 De Civitate Dei I don't know if it's true, but they say that in China, if you really hate someone, you curse them like this: [1] May you live in interesting times! [2] The Roman citizens of the 5th century were, despite themselves, forced to live in interesting times... In a few years...

  16. Ravenna, the midwife of Europe

    The main difference between the most ancient Roman Empire and the later one in the Pars Orientis is that the Scandinavian mercenaries did not have a specific unit, but were distributed among the various Alae... It is not said (I'm thinking about it) that ITL things don't change with a Scholae...

  17. Ravenna, the midwife of Europe

    Norway has been the site of several finds of this kind: in 2019, for example, a Roman-made bronze funerary urn, dated to 150-300 AD, was found in a burial mound in Gylland. In 2020, in Ytre Fosse (located along an ancient trade route), 19 pieces of a Roman board game, ludus latrunculorum, were...

  18. Ravenna, the midwife of Europe

    To tell the truth, Julius Caesar had already enlisted a body of auxiliaries from Jutland and we have a series of inscriptions from the necropolis of the Equites Singulares, in which the deceased define themselves as Scandinavian.... Furthermore, in Scandinavian tombs, girdles have been found...

  19. Ravenna, the midwife of Europe

    Given that OTL at the time, due to diplomatic and commercial relations and the fact that there were Norse soldiers in the imperial troops, in Scandinavia there was a smattering of Latin, ITL the knowledge is better, due to the Sueba presence: furthermore the life of Patrick will be slightly...
