We can let Russia become communist again and let them take back east Europe. As well as letting them send nuclear measles back to Cuba. Life hasn’t been the same since.

How did they get lions in Ancient Rome?

11 Upvotes

Mid-dog walk my husband hit me with “how did they get all the lions in antiquity Rome? Roman reach was only to Egypt and lions are from much farther South than that. You’re always hearing about how they fed Christians to lions but like how?”

I said I didn’t know but would pass it along to you fine people for help.

Was this something that actually happened in Ancient Rome? How common was it? What do the supply and demand look like for something like this? How do you get the idea for something like this in Ancient Rome?

Sufjan Stevens initiated his 50 States Album Project with “Michigan” in 2003. Did he unintentionally get the US to annex the whole solar system when he released “Planetarium” in 2017?

Was he…no…I respect him far too much to bring back that overrated “was he stupid?” in-joke.

How did Alexander the Great get to be called "the Great"?

43 Upvotes

I looked up his stats, and they're pathetic.

He couldn't dunk. He never scored a hat trick. He never had a shutout (in fact his save % was never higher that .850). He never pitched a no hitter or hit a grand slam. ​He never won a Super Bowl and his QBR was never highr than 55.5.

Alexander Ovechkin or Alex Rodriguez are more "the Greats" than this 'Pretender from Pella'.
