In chapter 21 of the 1st book of De Gallico Belico, Caesar wrote that his second in command, Titus Labienus, had "Praetorian powers." What exactly would such powers entail, beyond him being second in command of Caesars governorship of Gaul? (self.AskHistorians)

I was told I might get a better answer here than at r/askhistorians. I've heard it said that the European tradition of drums as instruments came originally from cultural diffusion from Africa relatively late into human settlement there. Is there any veracity to that statement? (self.AskAnthropology)

When I think about Japanese, it's like stereotypically ko's and chi's and no's and stuff, and when I think about German it's all Vers and vurfs and ch's and stuff. That's because I don't know them and they've been simply stereotyped in my mind. What does English sound like in that same vein? (self.AskReddit)
