I've been trying to find more info on the crimes the Optimates were accusing Caesar of, and they must have been big or else he wouldn't have been scared to lose immunity. If Caesar hadn't openly rebelled against the republic and stepped down from the position of Governor of Gaul to run for Consul what might have happened to Caesar?

Just thought about it. If not, I'm sure they would be deaf by 30.

Was the historical text of the Bible really written in Aramaic originally or was it originally written in the Koine Greek?

I'm asking from a historical perspective--what evidence is there that the Bible was written in Aramaic?

Edit: meant to ask only about the New Testament per the Greek. Sorry!

I have read several places that Leon Blum's Popular Front govt coalition declared neutrality because it was afraid that it might spark civil war inside France. Where was the justification for this belief, and how real was it?

I'm finding it quite difficult to navigate the alphabet soup of parties, personalities, and conflicts existing within France during the late Third Republic. I'm familiar with the broad narrative...formation and fall of the PF, appeasement, Daladier...but looking for further help. Thanks.

I recently just realized that there were shield that were made of wicker.

Besides the fact that making or repairing such a shield must have been a big hassle, I was wondering how did it actually hold up.

Would you say that it was as tough, less or tougher than wooden shields?

Despite being a country of some four million, becoming independent in 1991, and fighting a major war from 1991 to 1995, Croatia came in third in the 1998 FIFA World Cup, and has made an appearance in all subsequent World Cups, bar 2010. And they seem to be doing quite well right now!

Why is a small, newly independent, postwar country so good at football/soccer? If this is a product of Yugoslavian sports policy, why hasn't it rubbed off on any of the other successor states' national teams?

First of all, Thank you for taking the time to read and hopefully answer this question.

I'm working on a board game that is trying to simulate 17th century age of sail combat,but I was wondering how the wind effects the sails of one of these types of ships and if it like little sailboats of modern day. Going to ask this in a specific way which might seem strange but it has been what I was thinking for the game mechanic so please bear with me: A Carrack is facing True north. How much would the wind hurt or hinder a ships movement at every 8 point of rose compass in it's attempt to head true north?

I ask this question this way as it is the core mechanic behind the game, as being able to move against or with the wind is important for being able to maneuver.

Thank you for your consideration.

The title says it all, I’m working on a board game modeled around this time period but I can’t represent every valuable commodity in game, so I’m focusing on the six most significant ones!
