@LorgoJibby @yaqobhyndes The vast majority of hoplites were citizen soldūers and not really well trained
English
@yaqobhyndes A bunch of untrained randos can’t be expected to act like an actual hoplite would. This seems useless.

This group of French researchers (Sur le champ) trained about 200 re-enactors to test the crowd dynamics of hoplite warfare and routing more generally. It's really interesting how the often frustratingly vague statements of ancient writers become clear with this footage

The biggest national labor union in the US in the 19th century was officially called the Noble and Holy Order of the Knights of Labor. Leaders were referred to as Grand Master Workmen and Grand Worthy Foremen. Those guys must've been huge fantasy nerds

@soteropolotario @IvarsLipskis @GoodAmericanMan Old patriarchal reasons basically. But as it was mentioned it is declining
English
@IvarsLipskis @GoodAmericanMan Interesting. Is it to signal that a woman is married at a glance? Like, without the need for the "are you married" social interaction?

@postoctobrist @PinstripeBungle This is a guillotineable offence there
