The Bizarre Ancient Reputation Of Serifos - The Historian's Hut

Seriphus (or Serifos) is one of the Cyclades islands scattered around the sacred island of Delos in the southern regions of the Aegean Sea. Whereas Delos was venerated and famous in ancient times as the alleged birthplace of Apollo and Artemis, the nearby island of Seriphus was contrastingly well-known in the Greco-Roman world for less flattering reasons. Unfortunately, in the public consciousness of ancient Greece and Rome, the inhabitants of S…Read Article

War-torn Armenia In The 7th Century And The Tale Of Bloody Sabinos - The Historian's Hut

Armenia was often a focal point in the struggle between the emperors of Constantinople and Arab warlords in the 7th century. The timeline is convoluted, but Armenia was largely wrested out of Constantinople’s sphere of influence and brought under the sway of the Arabs due to successive attacks and invasions that occurred around 640, 643, and 650. By that point, despite remaining strongholds of resistance, the Arabs considered the region to be ge…Armenia · ArmeniaRead Article

Virgil - The Historian's Hut

Virgil (c. 70-19 BCE) “[R]ight and wrong are mixed up here, there’s so much warring everywhere, evil has so many faces, and there is no regard for the labours of the plough.

The Unfortunate Raw Meat Folk Remedy To Reduce Swelling - The Historian's Hut

In old movies, cartoons, books, and television shows, viewers may spot a recurring trope of characters pressing slices of raw meat to painful black eyes and other swollen injuries. This, presumably, was a way to cool down the injury and reduce swelling, similar to the common practice of applying ice to a wound. Historically, this raw meat folk remedy is thought to have originated before the advent of modern refrigeration and freezing technology.…Read Article

Roman Ambassador Asks The Sabine Numa Pompilius to Reign over Rome, By Felice Giani (c. 1758–1823) - The Historian's Hut

This drawing, by the Italian artist Felice Giani (c. 1758–1823), was inspired by ancient Roman myths and legends about Numa Pompilius. According to Rome’s origin tales and tradition, the city’s founder, Romulus (reign traditionally dated to 753-717 BCE), obscurely disappeared, died, or transcended to the heavens following his founding of Rome. After about a year of coming to terms with Romulus’ sudden departure, the Romans reportedly decided to …Rome · RomeRead Article
