/u/J-Force on "Gaius Valerius Catullus is known for writing Catullus 16 - a poem whose first line has been called "one of the filthiest expressions ever written in Latin." What was the public response to this poem at the time?"

I wrote about the very interesting origins of the "Nazi" Salute and dueling in early 20th century South America, but explaining what puttees are was most popular this week. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Welcome to the Sunday Digest! My favorite day of the week. Come and find some great reading material for the week, and over indulge in some fantastic historical facts! Lets get off to a good start with the usual weekly fare.

There was also an absolutely fantastic AMA this week! International Women's Day AMA - the Astor100 project, celebrating the life and legacy of Nancy Astor, the first woman to take her seat in British parliament

The Thursday R&R Was quite busy this week as well. Lots of good recommendations for everything from the Knights Templar to China.

There was a pretty busy Friday Free For All this week!

The Saturday Showcase is practically the personal domain of /u/Klesk_vs_Xaero and his fantastic epic of Italian Fascism.

As a WWI BEF reenactor, I really enjoyed /u/Georgy_K_Zhukov's answer about Puttees!
