At the end of the Roman Empire, inflation was out of control.

Huge state spending required endless money "printing" โ€” until an entire bag of coins couldn't buy a sack of wheat.

Here's how inflation (and taxes) brought the empire to its knees... (thread) ๐Ÿงต Image
Rome's monetary system required continual looting of silver and gold from conquered lands to supply its coinage.

But when the expansion of the empire stopped, wealth stopped flowing into the treasury... Image
To maintain territories and conquer new ones, a massive army was required.

By the mid 2nd century AD, half a million soldiers were on the payroll โ€” 70% of the total budget. Image

Why is this one of the most famous portraits in history?

Partly, because it isn't actually a portrait. The girl you're looking at isn't real โ€” nor is her earring.

Look closely and you'll realize it's all an illusion... (thread) ๐Ÿงต Image
The "Girl with a Pearlย Earring" is often called "the Mona Lisa of the North", owing to its famed status and mysterious qualities.

But just who is the girl, and why is she so famous? Image
Dutch master Johannes Vermeer painted her 150 years after the Mona Lisa, but she's every bit as enigmatic.

Is she turning away or about to face us? What do her semi-open lips suggest she's about to say? Image

America was founded to be the true successor of Ancient Rome.

But most don't know how deep the parallels run: from its grid plans to its constitution.

Here's why we still live in Rome โ€” and why it won't collapse this timeโ€ฆ (thread) ๐Ÿงต Image
It's no secret the American Founders sought to emulate and perfect the Roman Republic.

They chose for their seal an eagle โ€” Rome's symbol of wisdom and power โ€” but one indigenous to North America. Image
Image
They also made an important logo change: America's eagle clutches an olive branch.

The power of peace was central to the American ideal, as it was in Rome's founding myth (the olive branch extended by Aeneas in Virgil's Aeneid). Image

C.S. Lewis, one of the 20th century's top intellectuals, considered himself too smart for Christianity.

So how, at age 32, did he suddenly become one of its greatest advocates?

He was struck by a strange feeling โ€” and something Tolkien said to him late at nightโ€ฆ (thread) ๐Ÿงต Image
C.S. Lewis's conversion didn't begin suddenly. He first began to feel a deep longing, pointing him to seek out the most beautiful things in life: music, art, romance.

And yet, nothing he could find completely satisfied it... Image
He called this profound longing "joy", and intuited:

"If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world." Image

To us, Ancient Greece is a distant culture of mystery and intrigue.

But the Greeks also lived in the ruins of a civilization they couldn't understand โ€” or build themselves.

What Homer wrote about them will transform your understanding of history... (thread) ๐Ÿงต Image
People living in Ancient Greece were amazed by the palatial ruins of their ancestors.

They couldn't understand how they were built, and assumed mythological beings had been involved. Image
Structures of massive, tightly-fit limestone blocks came to be known as "Cyclopean".

According to the Greeks, only the mythical, one-eyed giants (Cyclopes) could move stones that big... Image

New analysis recently revealed the Shroud of Turin (Christ's alleged burial cloth) to be 2,000 years old.

But that's just one of the relics of Jesus โ€” the Vatican claims to have far more.

Here are the most interesting, and why they could be real... (thread) ๐Ÿงต Image
Relics associated with Jesus are some of the most sought after objects in existence.

Countries have paid their entire annual budgets to get hold of them, or traded them off for armies... Image
Turin's Shroud is perhaps the best known: a linen cloth said to be the real burial shroud, imprinted with a miraculous image.

New X-ray analysis of the linen's flax cellulose has dated it to the time of Christ. Image
