Roman Civil War Silver Denarius Revolt against Nero. Vindex, governor of Gallia Lugdunensis. Denarius, March-May 68 A.D. Vienne. Victory standing l. on globe, holding wreath and palm; SALVS GENERIS HVMANI. Rv. S.P.Q.R. in oak wreath. RIC 72, BMC 34. Gaius Julius Vindex, governor of Gallia Lugdunensis, raised the standard of revolt against Nero in the Spring of 68 A.D. He sought the support of other provincial governors, but none responded except Servius Sulpicius Galba, governor of Hispania Tarraconensis, whose claims to the throne he promised to support. The city of Vienne in Nargbonensis declared for him, but the colony of Roman veterans at Lugdunum refused him admittance. As a result Vindex had no Roman troops under his command, so was forced to rely on native Gauls, local notables and their clients. His forces were crushed and Vindex was killed at Vesontio by the army of Verginius Rufus, governor of Upper Germany. A few weeks later Nero committed suicide and shortly thereafter Galba was formally declared emperor by the Senate of Rome.

Tag list of famous people from Ancient Rome and Greece. A few hellenistic rulers and some Etruscans are also included.
And for some reason the page is not working properly. The HTML code is there, but it only works on my dashboard. On this page links are inactive. I figure that page only understands “/tagged/Agrippina-the-Elder” - versions, but I’m too lazy / busy to rewrite the code. So if you want to check a tag, you’ll have to copy and paste it after the word “ .../tagged/”. And same goes for all the lists below.

title: The Painted Cards
genre: young adult, fantasy
pov: third-person limited (between two characters)
synopsis: it’s a pleasant day spent touring a college town with his friends when Basil meets the Goddess. without shame, she announces him- along with three others- to be her card champion. if he follows her tasks, slowly revealing his deck of cards, he’ll live on in history. if he doesn’t, he’ll die. the only issue is, magic is illegal, and the Goddess has just made him the number one criminal.
setting: an alternate Earth with different kingdoms that have a similar history. while geography is vastly different, events such as WW1 and WW2 took place (just involving magic and separate issues). the story specifically takes place in the kingdom of Ueklos, which is a democratic nation with modern-day technology.
characters:
(king) basil roi- the son of two flower shop owners. broke but hardworking, quiet and cold. he has bad memories of the flames.
(knight) fierro knightly- a genius rescued from a war-torn country only by a scholarship. he’s a jokester, but insecure (as jokesters tend to be).
(high priestess) venifica lusus- the witch/psychic who enjoys the mystery and the crime. she treats this as a game.
(queen) rosai reina- the serious, businesswoman. she wants no part in magic, and doesn’t understand beauty. venifica irritates her because of this.
(page) vindex insons- the sweet, kind, and shy member. he is shiny and naive, but feels like he has accomplished nothing.
themes: found family, romance, diverse cast (wlw, mlm, nonbinary and trans characters), morality, forgiveness, appearance vs reality, war
NEW MAP: Europe 68: Downfall of Nero (07 Jun 68 AD) https://buff.ly/2mX0Ra2 Nero’s extravagances alienated the Roman elite, encouraging the governors Vindex and Galba to lead the Gallic and Spanish provinces in revolt in 68 AD. Although Vindex was quickly defeated by the Rhine legions, the Praetorians and Senate declared for Galba in June. Deposed and condemned, Nero committed suicide, bringing an abrupt end to the Julio-Claudian dynasty. #historyoftheworld #68 #june #ancientrome #ancient #romanlegion #galba #carta #cartografia #nero #gaul #europe #europeanhistory #ancienthistory #geopolitics #historia #historie #history #historyclass #june7 #maps #oldmaps #roman #romancivilwar #romancivilwars #romanempire #romanhistory #romans #worldhistory #newmap (at Tarraco) https://www.instagram.com/p/B24zth6gdV-/?igshid=txuol7t0hu68
Journalism Isn't Dying. It's Returning to Its Roots | Antonio Garcia Martinez looks back to see ahead:
if you were to magically teleport the architects of our democracy—men like Ben Franklin or Samuel Adams (newspapermen, both of them)—to today, they’d find our journalistic ecosystem, with its fact-checked both-sides-ism and claims to “objectivity,” completely unrecognizable. Franklin wrote under at least a dozen pseudonyms, including such gems as Silence Dogood and Alice Addertongue, and pioneered the placement of advertising next to content. Adams (aka Vindex the Avenger, Philo Patriae, et al.) was editor of the rabidly anti-British Boston Gazetteand also helped organize the Boston Tea Party, when activists dumped tea into Boston Harbor rather than pay tax on it. Adams duly covered the big event the next day with absolute aplomb. They’d have no notion of journalistic “objectivity,” and would find the entire undertaking futile (and likely unprofitable, but more on that soon).
If, however, you explained Twitter, the blogosphere, and newsy partisan outlets like Daily Kos or National Review to the Founding Fathers, they’d recognize them instantly. A resurrected Franklin wouldn’t have a news job inside The Washington Post; he’d have an anonymous Twitter account with a huge following that he’d use to routinely troll political opponents, or a partisan vehicle built around himself like Ben Shapiro’s Daily Wire, or an occasional columnist gig at a less partisan outlet like Politico, or a popular podcast where he’d shoot the political breeze with other Sons of Liberty, à la Chapo Trap House or Pod Save America. “Journalism dying, you say?” Ben Franklin v 2.0 might say. “It’s absolutely blooming, as it was in my day.”
What is dying, perhaps, is that flavor of “objective” journalism that purports to record an unbiased account of world events. We take journalistic objectivity to be as natural and immutable as the stars, but it’s a relatively short-lived artifact of 20th-century America. Even now it’s foreign to Europeans—cities such as London cultivate a rowdy passel of partisan scribblers who don’t even pretend there’s an impregnable wall between reportage and opinion. The US was much the same until the late 19th and early 20th century. Until 1900 or so, most newspapers were overtly political, and a name like The Press Democrat meant Democrat with a big D. Advertising was a minor concern, as party leaders encouraged members to subscribe to their local party organ, obviating the need for anything more than classifieds.
[...]
Let’s face it: We live in a Rashomon reality in which every event is instantly captured from a dozen angles and given at least as many interpretations, whether it’s a Supreme Court confirmation hearing or a video of Catholic school kids at a march. The thought that one media outfit will produce what’s taken as God’s gospel truth, under the demands of today’s light-speed media cycle and subject to the vigilante fact-checking of Twitter, seems a bit quaint. By now the savvy media consumer knows to wait 24 hours before making any conclusion about a scoop, to cross-check at least a handful of sources and two dozen Twitter accounts for takes across the political spectrum. “Objectivity” is an atavism from the days of studiously inoffensive and circulation-expanding reportage lavishly supported by unquestioning advertiser budgets. That’s all gone now. And it’s not clear that this studious “objectivity” more closely approximates the truth. Iraq and the WMDs? Madame President? Those were headlines produced under rigorously “objective” (and wrong) coverage, while those who got it right—and there were some—spoke from less regimented perches.
[...]
Neither democracy nor journalism will die. In fact, I suspect we’re about to have way more of both than we’ve had in a while. The path to the next golden age in American journalism isn’t nostalgia for a vanishing past but the same way that led to the previous golden age, namely, that of profit. More than likely, given the new business models, this will mean some partiality from journalism as well. That’s just fine too. It’s what Ben Franklin would have done.

This little bastard flew into the bathroom I was working on yesterday. "Phanaeus vindex, the rainbow scarab, is a North American dung beetle, with a range from the eastern US to the Rocky Mountains. The head is a metallic yellow color, and males have a black horn which curves backward toward the thorax." https://www.instagram.com/p/CT8Ye0lMvKe/?utm_medium=tumblr
Roman Emperor Galba (Servius Sulpicius Galba) was born 24 December 3 BCE in Rome. The son of an ancient patrician family was a favorite of the Empress Livia moved in the most elevated social circles of the Julio-Claudian era. He was governor of Aquitania, consul (33), governor of Upper Germany (40–2), and proconsul of Africa (44–5); his standing was recognized by the award of triumphal insignia and three priesthoods. Governor of Hispania Tarraconensis (north-east Spain) from 60, he was approached in 68 by Julius Vindex, who was instigating revolt against Nero. Galba had his troops proclaim him as representative of the senate and people of Rome, and enrolled a new legion (eventually VII Gemina) in addition to the one in his province.
Although Vindex was defeated, Nero's suicide and the support of Gaius Nymphidius Sabinus and the praetorians encouraged Galba to march on Rome. Once in power, Galba tried to recover Nero's extravagant largess, but the execution of several opponents including Lucius Clodius Macer who had raised revolt in Africa, and the brutal killing of soldiers recruited by Nero from the fleet cast a shadow. Galba’s avarice was notorious. He declined to pay the praetorians the donative promised by Nymphidius, saying that it was his practice to levy his troops not to buy them. He compounded this misjudgement by failing to control his own supporters. When on 1 January the legions of Upper Germany, who felt that they had been cheated of their reward for defeating Vindex, renounced their allegiance, Galba decided to adopt a successor, choosing Lucius Calpurnius Piso Frugi Licinianus. Otho, coveting this role for himself, fomented revolt among the praetorians, who murdered Galba on 15 January 69.

Laevum sua revocare dracones relicto amans occuluit
Nono fuerat nec simul parentis facinus quicumque et sicca tenus, in imagine. Et genuit inque pectora enim. Tuas est suumque Pylonque: a regia vindice ignescere Phoebus Iuppiter, unda, amantem.
Diversas caesa et credit reddique possent: astra foret enim late post tauri nullam. Nox ingrate coniuge, e quoque est excipiunt audit: vate fecere, in auras me puero plura. Hausit tumidisque fama repercusso iacent, aeternum precibus in inde minacia precari tempusque et supplex inanis parebunt; vindex, rapta. Pectora plurima parentibus veloque, gravitate fundit, morte, pedibusque. Vultus tunc quid est, et ad cum me saepe audita viget.
Libidinis deserit classes per adunci venire ostendens
Esse arte accessit cupit retrahebat et epotus tu salictis inpar, consumpta coniunx. Quod mille nec annum venturas muneris semilacerque scalas auctor pariterque supponat arvis licet ac eadem?
Nondum generi
Nitentem accedere iuxta. Visa eurus quoniam crista unum: et quam Hesperus Luna? Signorum redimebat dubites carpsere; protulit longius quod; uvis vetito Thermodonque quis teste; a?
Vecors in fera, testatus dirusque, ponunt sit inpius et lentoque, postes quae: repetita! Ex sponte, corpus tulit, illa paene pennis rabiem! Tusco deus venit male specie ad alii ebur ista Phoceus. Et viret, orba toris acies precor maledicere sit animal senex perque Phaethon surgit et signa!
My rainbow dung beetles (Phanaeus vindex) from last year. They made really easy pets. They were all pretty shy, and spent most of their time hiding, although they would get in moods where a few would circle their enclosure. P. vindex are native pretty much everywhere in the USA east of the rockies.
