ℹ "As a scholar of classical #antiquity and #history of political thought, I believe I am well positioned to situate the current debacle in #America with the eventual unraveling of the Roman #Republic which was once the greatest #Democracy on Mother Earth before the #Visigoths intruded upon their realm
Once, the greatest boast on #Earth was “Civis Romanus I“: I am a Roman Citizen. Such was the dignity and reverence of Roman citizenship"

VisiCalc for the Apple II computer was the first spreadsheet program. It turned 8-bit microcomputers from toys into serious business tools, and it ruled the spreadsheet market from 1979 to 1983 when Lotus introduced 1-2-3.
But if there's VisiCalc, is there also OstroCalc?

Per #IsaacAsimov in #DarkAges, European #antiSemitism began in earnest with the #Visigoths as a result of post-#Arian conversion politics on the Iberian peninsula.
The extremism they developed remained a Spanish heritage right down into modern times.
Religious tolerance, once established, was usually extended to Jewish people, as well.
Visigothic kings initiated a policy of brutal anti-Semitism, which has stained #Christian Europe ever since.

A friend asks, "What is Neo-Gothic?"
The #Goths were a major geopolitical force from about 200 AD on, ruling much of the territory northeast of the #Roman #Empire, with a powerful and reasonably centralized government. Indeed, it was one of the few military-political entities in the world which could negotiate with #Rome on roughly equal terms. Today we know these people as the "elder Goths."
But around 375 AD, the #Huns crashed into the eastern edge of the #Gothic polity, bringing down their governmental and economic structure and driving uncounted refugees west. The Goths could at that point have been wiped away as so many other peoples had been in the Huns' ruthless march of conquest. Fortunately for them, the Eastern Roman #Emperor at the time, #Valens, gave them permission to settle along the Roman side of the #Danube, and they survived as a culture, albeit in a weakened state. Some commentators of the time claimed they were no longer truly Goths at all, but a new and lesser people, the "#Emos."
Of course they spent a lot of time being gloomy about this. Still, their fundamental nature was not to accept their fate passively: their cities may have lain in dust, but not for nothing was the refrain of one of their traditional songs, "I want more." So they rose, clad in leather and steel, and headed farther west ... conquering the Western Roman Empire in the process during the 5th Century. We divide them into #Visigoths and #Ostrogoths, but "neo-Goths" is a good catch-all phrase.
I hope this clears things up.

However, even the tunic (toga for posh wear) loving Romans had a trouser influx. Partly from extensions to the empire, and partly due to legions fighting abroad adopting local modes of dress.
It became so bad that joint emperors Honorius & Arcadius, in 397, issued decrees banning trousers. The penalty was perpetual exile.
Not that the trouser ban did the Romans much good, thirteen years later King Alaric of the Visigoths sacked the city. The Visigoths wore trousers.
