Aha, caught this one early! I wanted to call out an unflaired user who's posted some really brilliant posts this week! /u/edXcitizen87539319 (talk about a crazy name, eh?) in:

• Is there a book or set of books out there that accurately depict the way warfare has developed over the centuries? I'm talking about from the time people were using spears, swords, and chariots to now where we use guns, armored vehicles, and drones.

• Were Roman wars (Latin war, Samnite wars etc.) justified by a need for security?
• What destroyed the Minoan civilization on Crete, and why did the island never come back into power?
• How did ancient empires/kingdom (Roman Empire, Warring States) equip their armies?

Also, a quick thanks to /u/Tiako who gave me a nice fact check in this thread!

This week I realized /u/TheGreenReaper7 has started posting recently about medieval chivalry and the sub is better for it. With 'Is the notion/ideal of honor that is portrayed in movies and TV of Middle Ages knights/others a modern construct or a unique/defining aspect of the times?' he dealt with the inevitable Game of Thrones questions that came with the new season.

These led me to find a few from the week before which are excellent as well:

Where kings/emperors honest/open about cheating on their wives or were they just as scared of the social ramifications ?

How many people could a knight kill in battle?

How would a medieval noble do the deed if they wanted a rival dead?

/u/telkanuru gave some fine close reading in response to Was homosexuality really "openly tolerated" by church and state in the early Middle Ages?

I enjoyed this week:

• /u/400-Rabbits in *How were the borders arranged in pre-colonized Americas? *

• some excellent contributions in Monday Mysteries | Disease and Medicine

• /u/Qweniden in Has beer always tasted pretty much how it tastes today, or would early beers be unrecognizable to us? What about wine?

• /u/Talleyrayand in How would a young woman travel alone by train in late 19 century Europe? Were there women-only passenger cars? Or was it socially acceptable to travel in the same compartment as strange man might also be in?

• /u/depanneur in What is Fascism?

• /u/geleybou in How did the banjo, an instrument of African descent, become a staple of Anglo folk music?

I don't like highlighting my own comments, but I was very proud of helping an individual discover the service history of their grandfather that fought for the Italian military in WW2.
