Today:
Welcome to this week's instalment of /r/AskHistorians' Day of Reflection. Nobody can read everything that appears here each day, so in this thread we invite you to share anything you'd like to highlight from the last week - an interesting discussion, an informative answer, an insightful question that was overlooked, or anything else.
This has been a good week for quality answers from unflaired (for now) users, so let me highlight some of those:
/u/Manethon decided to stop lurking recently to tell us about the relations between various religious groups and the state in pre-Constantine Rome and returned today to talk about how the ruling class in Seleucid or Egyptian territory reacted to the conquest of the Greek peninsula.
/u/Jazz-Cigarettes arrived to tell us why reactions to the deaths of Charles I and Louis XVI were so different
/u/MrBigHouse stepped into the India gap to explain the causes of the 1857 Sepoy rebellion
/u/Ruire explained, in detail, the effects of the American and French revolutions on Ireland and
/u/DieMensch-Maschine answers how Poland remained Catholic
As usual, this is just a smattering of the quality posts I've seen this week and which were featured on the AskHistorians Twitter account.
Take heed and read!
/u/XenophonTheAthenian on What were considered to be the "ancient times" back in the days of Ancient Rome and other ancient civilizations?
/u/otherhypatia on Why has men's formal wear remained largely the same for the past 125 years?
/u/restricteddata on I'm Joseph Stalin, on August 6th, 1945. How long does it take me to find out about Hiroshima, and how do I find out about it? (and a bevy of follow-ups).
