I’ve developed an obsession with Ancient Rome and Byzantium.
I can’t stop looking up Scipio Africanus, Justinian the 1st and Belisarius.

I’ve developed an obsession about 17th century milling, corn, and the pilgrims.
It’s totally not because that’s what I talk about all day for my job.

I wouldn’t say it’s bad, since Ancient Rome is quite fascinating. It’s actually climbing up as one of my favorite historical eras to learn about.

Ugh, everytime I post a comment on a video about Rome, some guy comes and says “Huns beat Romans you suck XD” Then I reply with “No, the Romans beat the Huns. Look at the battle of Chalons” Then they repeat the first comment.
Iv’e begun to avoid YouTube when looking for historical discussion.

Nah but seriously, what makes you like Herodotus better? Thucydides doesn’t have all that mythology junk.
Because Herodotus has all that mythology junk 
but what about when you want actual history, not an account of Zeus’ love life?
