How come Caesar seems to have lost his personal name?

Read the other day that real air traffic control was only really introduced in the 50s, but the beginning of commercial and private flying pre-dates that by a good 30 years. So what was it like before that? Did everyone just kinda fly by eye and hope they don’t crash into anyone else?

Here's the text, emphasis mine:

Nor is this all. Those who withhold capital constantly reduce the output by restraining production. We need not speak of the cartloads of oysters thrown into the sea to prevent a dainty, hitherto reserved for the rich, from becoming a food for the people. We need not speak of the thousand and one luxuries --stuffs, foods, etc.--treated after the same fashion as the oysters. It is enough to remember the way in which the production of the most necessary things is limited. Legions of miners are ready and willing to dig out coal every day, and send it to those who are shivering with cold; but too often a third, or even two-thirds, of their number are forbidden to work more than three days a week, because, forsooth, the price of coal must be kept up? Thousands of weavers are forbidden to work the looms, though their wives and children go in rags, and though three-quarters of the population of Europe have no clothing worthy the name."

In truth, I have no doubt this occurred but I'm wondering if there's any other sources to support it.

Also, if it is true, does that fact tell historians anything interesting and/or significant about life in Greece in that period?

I am not talking about justice being served in a trial. I read a bit about the Brehon laws, that capital punishment was extremely rare, and I am curious what happened if a person of higher standing (a king, for example) killed someone (a commoner) impulsively, let's say for revenge. What would his punishment be in this case? Would he be punished at all?
And what if the victim was his kin, a brother or a nephew, so someone (fairly) important?

I hope my question makes sense, I'm not really familiar with this time period and/or the legal background.

"North American whaling communities" is a pretty broad swath but I'm interested both in indigenous communities and European communities connected to commercial whaling. I guess my curiosity is both about career training for roles in the whaling industry (including young sailors) and the social significance of whaling as expressed in play, religion, community events, the family, etc. -- how were children socially and practically prepared for their roles in an economy oriented around maritime life and whale fishery?

If it wasn't him who said it?

I heard a Muslim historian attribute these words to Urban II during the 1st crusade as an indication to the gross violence of the crusaders that even the pope found shocking.

In high school I learned that at the hight of dutch naval power we owned half of the fleets of the known world is this true?

They count the ships from the voc and wic which would be confescatef for war and made into warships.

I'm a writer and have read various books on how to write fiction. But I'm curious about historical guides, partly through having recently looked into James Joyce's early efforts. When one reads one of Joyce's earliest attempts at writing creatively--the early essay, 'A Portrait of the Artist' (not the later novel with a similar title)--it is surprisingly poor. The prose is littered with ill-digested rhetorical devices. However, only a short time later Joyce was writing with a knowledge and mastery of fictional technique. It seems to me that during this interval Joyce probably read some books on how to write fiction. I'm sure such historical primers existed; I'm curious as to what they were.

In regards to the territorial changes between the Christian and Muslim medieval worlds, who got the better deal in this ""trade""? (As seen at the time and/or in retrospect).

A follow up: If Iberia was more valuable, did the Ottomans ever use their power to respond to the reconquista? And inversely was there desire for another crusade after Constantinoples fall since protecting the Byzantines was the cause of the first one?

Sorry for cramming 3 questions in, just reading about the rise of the Ottomans and this piqued my interest.

Up until America's Declaration of Independence in 1776, it was protected by British Treaties from Barbary corsairs. After the Declaration, it took Morocco eight years before becoming the first Barbary power to seize an American vessel in 1784.

From what I understand, corsairs would seize the ship, and hold its crew for ransom. However, America's lack of funds caused by the Revolutionary War stopped them from even paying the ransoms of its sailors.

Do we know what happened to those sailors left stranded? Is it as simple as getting killed by the corsairs? Or could there be a more romantic ending where a sailor assimilates into society and maybe becomes a person of influence?

I've been getting really interested in Greek theatre, and saw that there are only a small handful of shows that have survived throughout history. Are there any books or other sources that go into how they've been preserved over time, or discoveries that historians have made about them? I'd love to dive deeper, and learn more about this.

Since Jesus was a carpenter, are there any records or remnants of his work that we know of?
