Vándalos

Los vándalos fueron una tribu germana que se menciona por primera vez en la historia romana de Plinio el Viejo (77 d.C.), Historia natural. El historiador romano Tácito también los menciona en su Germania (en torno a 98 d.C.), aunque también se refiere a ellos como los "lugi". Su nombre significa "los merodeadores" y tanto Plinio como Tácito lo escriben como "Vandilii". En la actualidad, el nombre de "vándalo" se ha convertido en un sinónimo de la destrucción indiscriminada debido a las historias contadas por los historiadores romanos, que describieron su comportamiento violento en general y su saqueo de Roma específicamente en 455 d.C.

Stilicho is my absolute favorite historical figure in Roman history. Born half Vandal, Half-Barbarian to Romans, and did all he could to keep Western Rome afloat during constant invasions. Then Roman politicians sabotage him and have him executed along with his family. They couldn't stand the idea that a half-barbarian might be leading Western Rome.

Thing is while leading the military he served alongside Alaric who led the other barbarians hired by Romans until Alaric decided he was owed glory by the Romans, he raided the country side until Stilicho drove him out, but once Stilicho dies, guess who returns? Alaric, and he leads the barbarian army to sack Rome for the second time in its history at that point. Alaric dies not long after, but Rome will continue to be invaded repeatedly after until its hardly a shadow of its former self.

Stilicon

Flavius Stilicon (365-408) était un commandant de l'armée romaine qui gravit tous les échelons de la hiérarchie militaire sous le règne de l'empereur romain Théodose Ier (r. de 378 à 395) avant de finalement devenir le régent de son fils Honorius (r. de 395 à 423). Stilicon se distingua dans de nombreuses campagnes militaires, de l'Illyrie à la Grande-Bretagne, mais son adversaire le plus célèbre fut Alaric, roi des Wisigoths (r. de 394 à 410), que Stilicon ne parvint pas à vaincre et dont le sac de Rome, en 410, allait conduire à la chute de l'Empire romain d'Occident.

Galla Placidia

Galla Placidia was the daughter of the Byzantine emperor, Theodosios the Great. Theodosios had two sons, Arkadios and Honorius who were born to his first wife Aelia Flaccilla in 377 and 384. In 383, Theodosios made Arkadios co-ruler in the East and, in 393 or 394, made Honorius emperor in the West. Galla was probably born in 388 or 389, or perhaps as late as 392, to Theodosios’ second wife, also called Galla (Flavia Galla), who was a daughter of Valentinian I (364–75). Galla Placidia was given estates by her father when she was very young and honoured with the title nobilissima puella. Her mother died in 394, when she was about six, and her father a year later in Milan, where he had a palace. After her father’s death, Galla was brought up by Serena, Theodosios’ niece, and her husband Stilicho, a Vandal, who had been greatly favoured by Theodosios. Galla was intended at least for some time to marry their son, Eucherius. However, both Stilicho, in 408, and Serena also, in the following year, were suspected of treason and put to death by Honorius.

Galla was in Rome from 408 and, when it was besieged by Alaric the Visigoth in 410, she was taken hostage. In 414 she married Alaric’s successor, Ataulph. She soon after bore a son, Theodosios, who died as an infant, and in the same year, 415, Ataulph also died. Honorius brought her back to Ravenna and forced her in 417 to marry a Roman general, Constantius, who was made co-emperor in 421 (Constantius III), but he died seven months later. Galla had two children with him: in 417 or 418 a girl, Honoria and, in 419, a boy, Valentinian. On the death of Constantius, Galla fled with her children from Ravenna to Constantinople, but, after the death of Honorius in 423, she returned to Ravenna and assumed rule in the name of her son, Valentinian III, then aged six, who was made emperor in the West.

Galla led a powerful but complex life, in terms of both family and political connections. She was at the heart of the power struggles between the eastern and the western parts of the Roman empire, the ongoing strategies between the various tribes on the borders of the empire, such as the Vandals and the Visigoths, the balance between the authority of the military and the emperors, the divisions in the church between Orthodoxy and Arianism, and above all the elaborate power balance of the Theodosian dynasty with the complications of young boys elevated to power and intricate interfamilial and diplomatic marriages. She was a central player in these dynamics, as a child the only daughter of a celebrated Roman emperor and his imperially born wife, and as an adult, a strong mother assuming political power.

A Diptych with Stilicho to the right (c. 359-408)

This diptych depicts Stilicho (c. 359–408), a renowned and influential military commander during the late Roman Empire. The son of a Vandal officer and a Roman provincial woman, Stilicho rose to become the most powerful figure in the Western Roman Empire. He married Serena, the niece of Emperor Theodosius I, solidifying his ties to the imperial family. Upon Theodosius' death in 395, Stilicho became the legal guardian of the underaged Western Roman Emperor Honorius. Throughout his career, Stilicho defended the Roman Empire against its many enemies. However, a series of defeats ultimately led to his downfall, and he was removed from power and executed in 408.

Stilicho : The Half-Barbarian Savior of Rome

from History Dose

[barbariankingdom]

“When the general Stilicho and the young Emperor Honorius (395-423) decided to move his capital to Ravenna, Alaric, the feared chieftain of Gothic forces, had recently broken through the Alpine frontiers of Italy and was about to threaten the imperial government based in Milan. Milan's walls were too extensive to defend effectively, while Ravenna's position among the marshes, lakes and tributaries of the Po estuary provided a natural protection, reinforced by strong walls; it also had direct access, via its nearby port of Classis (modern Classe), to Constantinople, as well as to supplies of the trading centres of the East Mediterranean. This was an inspired strategic redeployment. Laws issued in Ravenna in December 402 record the initial stages of this relocation, which made it the new capital city.”

Saqueo de Roma en 410 d.C.

En agosto del año 410, Alarico, el rey godo, logró algo que no se había hecho en más de ocho siglos: él y su ejército entraron por las puertas de la Roma imperial y saquearon la ciudad. Aunque la ciudad y, durante un tiempo, el Imperio romano sobrevivirían, el saqueo dejó una huella indeleble que no pudo borrarse. Alarico y su ejército marcharon a través de la Porta Salaria y saquearon una ciudad que anteriormente ya había sufrido hambruna y privaciones. Aunque dejaron intactas iglesias como las de San Pedro y San Pablo, el ejército destruyó templos paganos, quemó el antiguo Senado e incluso secuestró a Gala Placidia, la hermana del emperador Honorio.

Alaric

Alaric Ier (r. de 394 à 410) était un chef militaire goth célèbre pour son sac de Rome en 410. C'était la première fois que la ville était mise à sac depuis plus de 800 ans. Bien que l'on ne sache pas grand-chose de sa famille, on sait qu'il devint le chef des tribus Tervinges et Greuthunges (connues plus tard sous le nom de Wisigoths et d'Ostrogoths, respectivement). À la tête de ses combattants Goths, il mit les Balkans et l'Italie sous coupe réglée, mettant à sac la capitale romaine, avant de s'enfoncer plus au sud et de mourir peu après, en l'an 410. Après la mort d'Alaric, son beau-frère Athaulf conduisit les Goths en Gaule.

The generational test

The cycle of earth is very noticeable, if you pay attention, ever heard the term (History repeats itself), it’s simply a repetition of test made to mirror the human experience and the individuals beliefs, morals, actions, and thoughts.

I introduce the SAT exam of earth, I call it the

“What do you stand for test”

What are the the questions you may ask simple

A major leader with an unique set of believes rises to power, these can be in any area of the spectrum. It’s how you respond and compartmentalize the believes presented to you.

Notable leaders include hitler, Castro, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Flavius Stilicho, Abraham Lincoln, Francis of Assisi, Emperor Asoka Maurya, George Washington, Ghengis khan, Nelson Mandela, Meiji-Tenno, Cincinnatus, Lycurgus, Pericles, Alcibiades, Alexander the great, Cyrus the Great, Julius Caesar, Domitian, Fabius, Scipio, Brasidas, Lysander, Wat Tyler, Gandhi, Joan of Arc, Winston Churchill, Gorbachev, Deng Xiaoping, Ho Chi Minh, Võ Nguyên Giáp, Nehru, Konrad Adenauer, Bismarck, Muhamad, Atilla, Sun Tzu, Leonidas, Simon Bolivar, Confucious, Charlemagne, Machiavelli, Tamerlane, Skanderberg, Lenin, Rommel, Gustavus Adolphus, Aurelius, Buddha, Charles XII, Oliver Cromwell, Suleiman, Martin Luther, Martin Luther King, Ataturk, Frederick the great, Catherine the great, Mc Arthur, FD Rooservelt, Teddy Rooservelt, Justinian, Kosoro, Saladin, Napoleon, George Washington, Cleopatra, and Stalin to name a few.

These leaders should make you question where you stand and point a direct mirror to who you are, due to their divisive nature it will spark movements, new ideas and/ or re introduce new ideas.

These can be anything from civil rights, humanitarian believes, philosophy, religious insight, spirituality, true generational core believes will rise and fall.

How can we tell we are beginning the cycle, the first tell us the rise of a new generation, the fall of a previous one, new beauty ideals( back to skinny rn) , a shift in presentation( the rise of medieval core happening rn), new movements rising, and many more.

What to do with this information:

It is important to be aware of history and it’s patters as the famous saying goes

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it”

- philosopher George Santayana.

We often question those who came before us for their wrong doings and believes that seem so far from us today, but how much of it is the same meaning just new words and who do you want to be when the history book comes out.

What do you stand for?

Thank you for reading, once again remember you are so loved and look inside to your core believes and how the new leaders of today effect them.

XOXO

Milano - Largo Augusto

Hier sind symbolische Ereignisse zum Untergang der Römischen Republik und zum Fall des Römischen Reiches.

133 v. Chr.: Tiberius Gracchus wollte eine Agrarreform, um Land gerechter zu verteilen. Die Aristokraten sahen ihn als Bedrohung und ließen ihn töten.

107 v. Chr.: Gaius Marius reformierte die Armee, indem er Besitzlose aufnahm. Soldaten waren nicht mehr Rom, sondern ihren Feldherren treu. Dies führte zu Bürgerkriegen zwischen Generälen wie Marius, Sulla, Pompeius und Cäsar.

91–88 v. Chr.: Bundesgenossenkrieg. Rom musste nach einem blutigen Krieg allen Italikern das Bürgerrecht geben.

88 v. Chr.: Sulla marschiert auf Rom.

73–71 v. Chr.: Spartacus-Aufstand

60 v. Chr.: Erstes Triumvirat (Cäsar, Pompeius, Crassus) zeigt, dass die Republik nicht mehr von Institutionen, sondern von Einzelpersonen regiert wurde.

49 v. Chr.: Cäsar überquert den Rubikon.

44 v. Chr.: Ermordung Cäsars.

31 v. Chr.: Schlacht bei Actium.

27 v. Chr.: Augustus gründet das Prinzipat.

165 - 180 n. Chr.: Antoninische Pest. Das fall des Reiches hatte auch wirtschaftlische ursache: die römische Wirtschaft beruhte stark auf Sklavenarbeit, aber durch den Rückgang der Eroberungen gab es weniger neue Sklaven. In den späteren Jahrhunderten wurde versucht, dies durch Kolonensysteme zu ersetzen, doch diese waren weniger produktiv. Die Latifundien (große Landgüter) wurden von Kolonen (halbfreien Bauern) bewirtschaftet, die an das Land gebunden waren. Diese Entwicklung war der Vorläufer des mittelalterlichen Feudalismus. Die landwirtschaftliche Produktivität sank, während die Zahl der Armen wuchs.

212 n. Chr.: Kaiser Caracalla verlieh allen freien Männern im Reich das römische Bürgerrecht, aber verwässerte die römische Identität.

235–284 n. Chr.: Krise des 3. Jahrhunderts. Mehr als 20 Kaiser in 50 Jahren. Militärische Macht entschied über die Herrschaft, was zu ständigem Kaiserwechsel durch Putsch führte (Dominatus).

260 n. Chr.: Kaiser Valerian wurde von den Sassaniden (Persern) unter König Schapur I. in der Schlacht von Edessa besiegt und gefangen genommen. Die römische Armee war in den ersten Jahrhunderten eine professionelle Truppe, doch mit der Zeit stiegen die Kosten. Immer mehr barbarische Söldner (Foederati) wurden in die Armee aufgenommen. Der römische Staat verschuldete sich, um Armee und Bürokratie zu finanzieren. Silbergehalt des Denars sank von 90 % auf unter 5 %. Dies führte zu starker Inflation, da die Preise für Waren in die Höhe schossen.

275 n. Chr.: Aurelian ließ die Stadtmauer Roms bauen.

303–311 n. Chr.: Diokletianische Christenverfolgung.

312 n. Chr.: Konstantin gewinnt die Schlacht an der Milvischen Brücke.

325 n. Chr.: Konzil von Nicäa.

330: Konstantinopel neue Rom. Konstantin marschierte nach Osten, sowohl spirituell als auch politisch, und ließ den Westen stärker den Barbaren ausgesetzt.

375 n. Chr.: Hunnen dringen nach Europa vor. Völkerwanderung beginnt.

378 n. Chr.: Schlacht von Adrianopel. Die Goten begannen, im Reich als separates Volk zu leben, ohne sich zu integrieren.

380 n. Chr.: Edikt von Theodosius I: die Kirche ersetzt schrittweise die schwächelnde römische Bürokratie.

390 n. Chr.: Ambrosius von Mailand zwang Kaiser Theodosius I. zur Buße, ein Zeichen, dass die Kirche nun mächtiger war als der Kaiser. Das Christentum könnte zum Niedergang beigetragen haben, weil es die ideologische Einheit zerstörte und den Kaiserkult untergrub, wirtschaftliche Ressourcen für Kirchen statt Militär umleitete, die römische Kampfmentalität veränderte und Es eine Machtverschiebung zugunsten der Kirche verursachte.

410 n. Chr.: Plünderung Roms durch die Westgoten nachdem Stilicho in Ravenna auf Befehl des jungen Kaisers Honorius hingerichtet worden war.

425 n. Chr.: Galla Placidia, Tochter von Theodosius, wurde Regentin des Weströmischen Reiches für ihren minderjährigen Sohn Valentinian III.

454 n. Chr.: der römische Feldherr Flavius Aëtius wurde in Ravenna von Kaiser Valentinian III. eigenhändig ermordet nachdem er war bekannt für seinen Sieg über Attila (451).

476 n. Chr.: Absetzung von Romulus Augustulus → Ende des Weströmischen Reiches.
