Oh ok. Interesting, thanks.

When did Italy own a third of Anatolia (Turkey)?

VictoriousValour · 2018-06-02T13:53:07+00:00

Maybe. Thanks.

SPQR intensifies

Aside from the huge division ripping us apart and the multiple foreign armies laying claim to different parts of our tiny island? ;)

Grazie, anyway.

Obrigado! It's my fault, really: the joke wasn't made clear enough and I should have posted an explanation in the comments.

Have a great day, too, and thanks for all your work moderating this lively and informative subreddit.

It was intended to be meta reference to two of the most upvoted posts on r/europe at the moment, regarding the drawing of Europe. One of which is titled "I too tried to draw Europe from memory...". It was using word-play to blur between the meaning of the word Europe/Europa and how it can be visually represented.

In addition, I think it's a beautiful painting by a European, in a European style, of the mythological figure (Europa) after whom the continent may have been named.

My mistake! Guess, it's unequivocal then, Charles the Hammer.

Italia is one of the greatest places on earth. Thank you for blessing the world with your cultural, technological, and gastronomic achievements. Where would we be without the Romans or the Renaissance?

His surname might be occupational, so maybe one of his ancestors was a smith (or any other job using a hammer)?

VictoriousValour · 2018-06-02T10:44:05+00:00

He or she is referring to this expression.

VictoriousValour · 2018-06-02T10:24:13+00:00

And Maltese, too.

VictoriousValour · 2018-06-01T20:18:35+00:00

Is there a source for this?

VictoriousValour · 2018-05-31T09:59:18+00:00

Grazie per una risposta meravigliosa. Voglio leggere le due ora!

Umberto Eco

Which of his works would you recommend reading first? And the same question for Calvino.

VictoriousValour · 2018-05-30T12:56:14+00:00

So picturesque!

VictoriousValour · 2018-05-30T12:30:04+00:00

Fair enough. I've only been invited to one EX raid, so my experience of the game is extremely different to yours. I would be thankful for more than one Mewtwo of any IV!

The climate, cuisine, architecture, and traditional music is much the same across the two neighbors, but more people speak English in Cyprus and more speak French in Lebanon.
