We return once more to a fantastic AskHistorians Sunday Digest! The best time of week as far as I’m concerned. Compiling hundreds of hand crafted artisanal answers raised on a balanced diet of grain fed sources and with enough love to make cupid blush.

Don’t forget to check out our usual weekly fare before diving into the rest!

• Get some reading ideas in the Thursday Reading and Rec.

• We had an extra big Friday Free For All!

• We had a very interesting META; About how long ago did this sub start becoming heavily moderated?

That wraps us up for another week and once more I return back to the void to lurk, save and watch. Don’t forget to thank all those brilliant writers and throw a few upvotes their way! Keep it classy out there folks.

We also take a moment to shout out the interesting yet overlooked questions that caught our eye. Feel free to post up your own questions, or others you liked but still await the attention of experts!

• /u/Somecrazynerd asked How often did late 19th century English and American men change between different suits?

• /u/Lubyak asked In Early Modern European warfare, how did soldiers outfitted for pitched battle engage in kleinkrieg?

• /u/FromLuxorToEphesus asked The Roman Empire is famous for its numerous cities, including the city of Rome. The Inka Empire is commonly compared to Rome due to its complex road system and immense size. Did the Incan Empire ever develop sophisticated urban areas outside of its Capitol, Cuzco?

I would like to bring some attention to this thorough answer to my question about the Median Empire's territorial extent and the nature of their rule by /u/Trevor_Culley

Time for another installment of "The Real Questions", where we take a look at the wilder side of r/AskHistorians! Here, I give a shout-out to people asking the more atypical questions on this sub: questions that investigate amusing, unique, bizarre, or less common aspects of history, as well as ones that take us through intriguing adventures of historiography/methodology or niche/overlooked topics and moments in history. It's always a wide (and perhaps confusing) assortment of topics, but at the end of the day, when I see them I think, "Finally, someone is asking the real questions!"

Below are my entries for the week - questions with a link to an older response are marked with ‡. Let me know what you think were the realest questions you saw this week, and be sure to check out my full list of Real Questions.
