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 there is a specific region(s)/culture(s) - and preferably time-period - of interest, please feel free to re-compose your question and submit it again.
