Stories of female artists, teachers, doctors, and even gladiators are scattered through the history of Imperial Rome a Roman woman did not change her name when she married, her husband could not control her property or dowry, and she was free to divorce. Yet Roman women had more control than many believe. “All women, because of their innate weakness, should be under the control of guardians,” writes Cicero, curtly summarizing the status of women in Ancient Rome. This book will be highly valuable to numismatists, students and scholars of Roman history or women’s studies. Jasper Burns paints portraits of these exceptional women that are colourful, sympathetic, and above all profoundly human. Examining the wives, daughters, sisters and mothers of emperors, the study includes: a pregnant Roman princess who saves a Roman army through an act of personal heroism three third-century empresses who rule the most powerful state on Earth, presiding over unprecedented social and political reform an empress, though revered by her husband, is immortalized in history for infidelity and corruption by students of her greatest enemy. Spanning the period from the death of Julius Caesar in 44BC to the third century AD, and with an epilogue surveying empresses of later eras, the author's compelling biographies reveal their remarkable contributions towards the legacy of Imperial Rome. Non-patrons can't say that they themselves are being scammed, but they can say pretty much everything else.Drawing from a broad range of documentation this book vividly characterizes eleven royal women who are brought visually to life through photographs of over 300 ancient coins and through the author's own illustrations. Just think I'm someone who periodically helps Bo and Koda with development and even I still reserve the right of people here to give criticism. And barring the people who are delusional enough to think you're Koda in disguise, no one here is frothing at the mouth over this or insulted or entitled just very unimpressed with a practically cartoonish development process. TL DR: Very few people in here are being victims. How much of that is your acceptable criticism, and what of it is pretending to be a victim? And what's the difference? The magic of arguing with subjective words like "entitlement" and "insult" is that you can say whatever you want on those terms and no one can dispute it objectively. Seems more like a distinction you've manufactured so that you seem like you're ok with criticism from non-patrons despite being very aggressively not that at all.Īs an example, I called the development process a circus, others have said Koda must be jacking off all day, or that it's insanity that 7F has taken literally years with no real end in sight, etc.
Because I'd bet a substantial sum that every example of people here saying "objectively hurtful things" about the development are things you'd decide are them pretending to be a victim of crimes against our inalienable right to porn.
