Sorry, we don't allow throughout history questions. These tend to produce threads which are collections of trivia, not the in-depth discussions about a particular topic we're looking for. If you have a specific question about a historical event or period or person, please feel free to re-compose your question and submit it again.

Hey there! Certainly an interesting question, but as per this rule we discourage "in your period" posts, as they tend towards statements of trivia rather than the interesting, scholarly discussions that are our standard. We look for specificity of either topic or setting. If you'd like, you can submit this idea as a topic for an upcoming Tuesday Trivia.
