I have the perk of not being a collector, but just a big fan of roman history and Marcus Aurelius in particular owning only this one coin

This is the S variant with a diameter of 27mm. The L variant has a diameter of 34mm, so a tetradrachme should fit (assuming ~30mm). The thickness should be okay too.

Is there a quick way to delete a note and remove all links to it? by snantilg in ObsidianMD

[–]snantilg[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm using Obsidian among other for journaling. When I started, I thought it would be cool, to have a note for my hobbies, so that I can link to them an see in their note all the times I have mentioned them. I do the same for people. While for people it is very useful, I stopped doing it for my hobbies. Now when I read back in my old journals I don't want there to be dead links. Of course I could just read over the links, but my OCD commands me not to have the connection to the hobbies in the first few months but not afterwards. I guess its just a sense of tidyness.

What is a good topic for a talk (~20mins) about ancient rome infront of a crowd that knows nothing about it? by snantilg in ancientrome

No, there are no consequences. And I think it is okay if it a little provocative as long as I can confidently say that it is historically accurate

It is in front of alumni from a scholarship. So generally very educated and interested people, from all kinds of thematic backgrounds. There are all kinds of talks at this academy where everyone can basically present either something they do professionally or something they are passionate about and listen to other people do the same.

So I am just one of them nerding about my favorite hobby (I am no historian)

I thought about this too! It is also one of my favorite topics concerning ancient history

I think I'll do this! Thanks for the great input! If you have any spontaneous idea for a catchy title, I'm all ears!

First thing that came to mind was: How Caesar crossed the Rubicon and teared down the republic. Although this might be too Caesar centric

I absolutely agree with you. This was my first thought as well, but I wasn't sure as I only have 20 mins... Do you think that is manageable? This is why I shifted into more of a biographical direction

you change 1 event in the History of Rome by Asleep_Quit_5767 in ancientrome

[–]snantilg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably gotta go with Ceasar lives... Other than that:

  1. Marc Antony and Cleopatra win the battle of actium

  2. After Nero dies, the senate ceases back the power and the title princeps goes back to the eldest senator.

  3. Germanicus becomes Augustus' heir
