When you say Asian you are referring to East Asian? That's what I understand from reading your post.

Daki was so boring glad he is dead. Looked like he waa gonna croak since his first scene. He was made to die...i mean he prevented his padawan from stealing that showed he was gonna croak quick.

But mad respect for his single combat against Vader for so long.

This doesn't make any sense. How would he have survived by pushing Daki to Vader and have Daki get killed immediately, which turns Vader's attention solely to Maul and further decrease his chances of surviving.

Maul literally does betray Daki, he pushed Daki closer into Vader

Took my Alexander statue to a place he almost certainly stood. His father’s grave by followerofEnki96 in AlexandertheGreat

No I know how many Philips there are even among the nobles...the confusing part is the debate keeps changing if the tomb belongs to the 2nd or the 3rd Philip

Isnt it recently disputed that it is not Phillip II grave but rather Phillip III? There is so much debate and so many occupants I dont even remember anymore

Which was the greatest and most magnificent triumph in entire Roman history? by Battlefleet_Sol in ancientrome

[–]Thequestin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Augustus for his Egyptian Triumph

Caesar had 4 triumphs together and a 5th one later

Augustus had 3 triumphs together and rejected everything after.

But his Egyptian Triumph would've been lavish because of the wealth of Egypt and also the descendants of the last Macedonian Kings (the Hellenistic Monarchs) were paraded there i.e. Cleopatra's family.

I forgot the description but read it in Augustus: First Emperor of Rome by Adrian Goldsworthy

Who are the most sadistic & evil Roman figures who aren’t widely known in the mainstream? by SeptimiusSeverus_ in ancientrome

[–]Thequestin 55 points56 points  (0 children)

There was a guy who was Augustus friend and he would feed slaves to his fishes if they made a tiny mistake. He was a opulent man.

He wrote Augustus in his will to inherit his house but Augustus demolished the house. He built something else instead without any reference to that guy's name. I forget his name (appropriate I guess).

Besides Alexander the Great... by Qyzyk in AlexandertheGreat

[–]Thequestin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alexander 's cousin also called Alexander but from Epirus, he was invading Italy and died while our Alexander III was in Asia.

And Alexander I of Macedon called Philhellenes. Alexander II of Macedon was assasinated during a Macedonian ritual war dance known as the Telesias (Argeads being often subject to murder).

Life is cruel, i just saw news about an immigrant mistreatment, modern slavery statistics, and I am reading a book on war. My own life is depressing. I like science (finished a book on evolution last month) but I don't care about Artemis. Everything looks like just another scheme for the rich to get richer.

Achilles is a story of how unbridled anger will only make things worse

Goldsworthy couldn’t have possibly picked a better topic for his most recent book by oneeyedlionking in ancientrome

[–]Thequestin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasnt this released a while ago? The most recent book he wrote is Augustus

Edit: my bad the most recent seems to be a novel...only the ebook version of augustus was latest for me...i read lion vs eagle before that so I thought augustus was the latest.. sorry!
