If I could choose my #LastTweet it would be this: the "Roman Empire" isn't real. "Rome" produced zero unique material culture. Zero primary documents. Zero radiocarbon dates of famous "Roman" monuments. It's a fictional homogenizaton of European indigenous culture by the Church.
Numismatics is pseudoscience nonsense.
Like y'all think they "New World" was the Church's first rodeo? Naw, they got the refined stream-lined version.
You can see it in medival documents where scribes just started drawing beards on everyone. No women! Erase them!!
Museums like the Louvre actively deceive people. Natural history put up plaques showing which bones are real and which are guesswork. Art museums don't tell you every statue is Victorian fanfiction.
Basically, science is chasing classics like Jason Voorhees. Cry all you want, Rome Bros.! Facts don't care about your feelings.
