Today:
Welcome to this week's instalment of /r/AskHistorians' Sunday Digest (formerly the Day of Reflection). Nobody can read all the questions and answers that are posted here, 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.
Not to toot my own horn, but I did a writeup on warfare in the 15th-16th century Mediterranean.
/u/mikedash helped me a bit with a mysterious book whose author was born after it was published:
I'm still desperately hoping for an answer to my question about the logistics of German exclaves. :(
u/FlavivsAetivs gave a detailed 5 part answer to How widely accepted is the Xiongnu - Hun connection?
I liked the detail (though I understood only some of it) and the discussion between /u/YuunofYork and /u/rusoved under "For many years, the Roman army was dominated by "Illyrians". If Illyrians were so important to Rome, and people still speak Albanian, then why is Albanian such a historically insignificant language?"
/u/uncovered-history did a great job explaining some aspects of religious participation in colonial America. His answer definitely changed some of my preconceptions about the role of the church and how common church attendance was for early settlers.
Also I'm still interested in learning about the evolution of the bill of rights in the US.
Last week I posted an answer about some of the factors that likely played into why English alliterative verse fell out of fashion.
I really enjoyed this response by u/Athena_Laleak on Byzantine literature, it brought up some really interesting points that I’d never thought about before.
