You made some very good points and hope this mod doesn’t pull your post #178. There is something very wrong with this mod.

We were instructed early on to not post on this thread.

Many posts have been removed because of the rules of the Religion Forum which were not adhered to.

Repeating pulled posts is against the rules also.

Sorry to post on the thread again, but we felt it was necessary because of the many misconceptions.

This was a good article which we decided to leave in the Religion Forum, which we do on occasion.

I hope this answers your questions because we don’t want to get up from the floor with the dogs to post again.

:-)

THIS ANSWERS NOTHING. THIS EVADES THE POINT.

Well that sucks. I was looking for the guy to get ZOT’d.

We were trying to work with him and the AM made our work harder.

That’s too bad. Might have turned into a decent poster.

Domitian sealed the fall of Rome by subdividing the empire. At the time the policy was greatly beneficial, but the end result was disastrous.

‘We were instructed early on to not post on this thread.

I don’t understand. You say it is in the Religion Forum, but the thread is classified as Bloggers/Personal. If it is Bloggers/Personal why are Religion Forum rules being used? If it is in the Religion Forum, why does it say Bloggers/Personal. If it has been moved to Bloggers/Personal, shouldn’t Religion Forum deletions be put back?
Im any case thios seems to be history and culture far more than Religious, whatever the intent of the OP.

‘A united Rome under Domitian and Constantine were able to provide a formidable resistance, but Constantine didn’t follow Domitian’s perfect succession rule’

I wouldn’t call the Tetrarchy perfect since it was not self enforcing and failed at the first succession. Otherwise a good summary of Romes’s decline EXCEPT that the Emperor Domitian was a tyrannical Emperor of the later first century AD. The Emperor who set up the Tetrarchy was Diocletian, who also set up the system used in the middle ages to bind folks to their employment and their parent’s employment, which led to serfdom.

Oops.

I meant to say:
I “wasn’t” looking for the guy to get ZOT’d.

Hail Sulla. Moritori te salutant ;-p

Dammit -- I keep mixing up Domitian and Diocletian (the Ds!). As a nerd I used to remember the dates and reigns of the Emperors until Septimus Severus to try to sleep! Now I think I can remember some reigns but should be able to remember the names

  1. Augustus - 27 Bc to 14 AD
  2. Tiberius 14 AD to 37
  3. Caligula 37-41
  4. Claudius 41-54
  5. Nero (last of the Julio-Claudian emperors) 54-68
  6. year of the 4 emperors: Otho 68
  7. Galba 68
  8. Vitellius 68-69
  9. Vespasian 69-79 (founder of the Flavian dynasty)
  10. Titus 79-81
  11. Domitian 81-93 (end of the Flavian dynasty)
  12. Nerva (first of the 5 good emperors) 93-94
  13. Trajan (and a personal hero -- this Spanish Emperor conquered Iraq!) 94-..?
  14. Hadrian
  15. Antoninus Pius
  16. Marcus Aurelius
  17. Commodius (until 193)
  18. Pertinax
  19. Dido Julianus
  20. Septimus Severus
  21. Caracalla (until 220 AD)
  22. Geta
Ok, I do remember until Geta. Beyond that, there are just too many conflicting emperors until it comes to Diocletian and whatsisname his co-emperor. Post Constantine too, I never looked in much detail except for Justinian who nearly recreated the entire Roman Empire
