Scots made them not want to come to visit, much less stay.

But that map is from our modern perspective. May I introduce you to a map from that time from a Roman perspective when the Mediterranean Sea was the center of the universe?

The cartograph peutinger is a series of maps of the important part of the Roman Empire.



This is section 6

Section 6: parts of Romania, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Greece, Libya, Mali and Nige

Probably not. Most of the people posting on this board are from germantic tribes. We have been on a roll since the Romans fell to the end of WW2 . If Napoleon hadn't been short sided and planned for the future, we'd all be speaking French.

Well, a few select families have been on a roll. It was called Feudalism.

My people probably farmed land in Fiefdoms.

And would you like to know why the mighty Roman Empire collapsed? Because in a nutshell they too had an over abundance of woke, far Left, mentally ill fricks.

You don't have to wager, it's already been proven. It is pretty much a statistical guarantee that at one time or another everyone's ancestors were slaves and slave owners at some point in history.

Well, if you want to get technical, we all can trace our roots to a few tribes in western Africa. Claiming everyone was a slave isn't a ground breaking statement. But you are looking for an argument vs talking about the Roman empire.

Shut your mouth. Only one place in the world has ever used slave labor, and those slaves were all African/African descent.

Wait, was one of Napoleon's sides shorter than the other? Was he a hunchback or something? Which side was shorter, his left or his right???
