It seems like such a main staple, I was wondering what the Romans and previous civilizations in that region ate?

state structure, rise and fall, historical significance, etc.

In Seize the Time, Bobby Seale talks about reading Mao and Frantz Fanon. He frequently refers to the Party and its programs as revolutionary, socialist, and communist, and denies that the programs are reformist. However, when he sets out the programs, they don't sound very "revolutionary" in the usual Marxist sense of seizing the state and establishing a dictator of the proletariat. How much did the Panthers really subscribe to a revolutionary socialist ideology? Were they adapting Marxist thought to the social conditions of black Americans, or pursuing a social-democratic reform program which they called Marxist? I know they got into fights with the police, but did they attempt any organized violent revolutionary action?

Bonus question: is there a consensus on whether Bobby Seale was involved in the killing of Alex Rackley?

Pretty straight forward, claims from early church history seems to point to them being killed for their beliefs. True or False?

This may seem like a weird question, sorry about the hard to understand title.

What I'm asking is, did people see-/know about abandoned cities and towns in the past (before 1000CE) and how common were they?

I hear a lot about how Tokaj (or Tokay) wines were considered quite highly by European royalty beginning in the 17th century, but how did it stack up in terms of esteem and reputation compared to other highly regarded wines?

Edit: Follow up question - how accessible would a Tokaj have been to the middle and lower class wine drinkers in Europe? Was it more or less exclusively a wine for the upper classes, or were there varieties that were more affordable?

When Allied troops began liberating concentration camps during the final days of the war, many of them were shocked by what they encountered. Today, the popular narrative regarding U.S. involvement in World War II alleges in part that we fought to stop Hitler's murderous campaign against the Jews. How can we reconcile this discrepancy? What is the earliest plausible point at which one could say the Allies had good intelligence about the Holocaust and what was their response?

Also for slaves from ships that were intercepted before reaching the Americas- what would happen to someone stepping off the boat in Liberia in the mid-nineteenth century?

At any point in American history before the Civil War, were there any municipalities or states that directly owned slaves, the way that they would own roads or other public works?

for example, the first polish king was crowned by the holy roman emperor, while in france the kings were crowned by the pope. was there some sort of power struggle going on?

I know early on, everyone was British but by independence, there were significant German and French populations. Why did these people come over, to a territory of another country? Who else came over and for what reasons?

How was the economy of the Soviet Union? I heard it was very successful before spending all their money on nuclear weapons.

Did ancient languages like Hebrew, Latin, Greek, Aramaic even have pronouns which differentiate between formal and informal?

German and English are two languages I know which address God using informal pronouns in the Bible. Do we have bible translations which didn't go that way? Has there ever been a sort of official ruling on the matter?

How come none of his surviving officers achieved the fame of completing the circumnavigation instead of him?

Given the fact that Magellan died in the Philippines and his initial plan was to find out a west route to the East Indies and not complete circumnavigation.

Looking at a gallery of soviet painting, it seemed that impressionism dominated the scene at least until the 1960s. Was this just a bias of the collection or was impressionism actually that big in the USSR?

My class was having a discussion in a Comparative Genocide course about how genocides are not so strictly defined by the outright killing of a certain group of people, but should also include regimes that oppress a certain group of people as well. With North Korea's extreme oppression that has happened under the Kim dynasty since the 1950's, would you actually consider them a genocidal dynasty or just an aggressive dictatorship?

What similarities and differences do you see with the more prototypical genocidal rulers like Hitler's Nazis', Stalin's Soviet Union, or even Pot's Khmer Rouge? Also why did these different genocides, including North Korea, target their victims?

What similarities and differences do you see with the prototypical genocidal rulers and their followers like Hitler's Nazis', Stalin's Soviet Union, or even Pot's Khmer Rouge?

Edit: Because I guess I'm a fucking idiot.
