I‘m Flavius Novellius Curtis.
Roman and Greek mythology tales were my favourite bedtime stories as a kid, and I ever since felt attracted to roman history and culture, although I never really studied it. Nevertheless, I‘m glad to have found this forum!

My name is Mehdi Saada, with a degree in history (licence, 3 years in France, dunno how that translates in anglo countries !), and I am a huge admirer of Rome, but more in the sense that I it relates more to the Western world of today in many ways than other civilizations until, say, the late Middle Age, yet staying distant enough to wonder about ourselves. A sort of distorted mirror.
And the fact it extends for a good millennium with significant historical records (much more than we have for any other place over such duration...) regarding economy and culture/ethics.
What I appreciate the most of issues of (sexual/matrimonial) morality, economics, religion and politics.

See ya 😄

I am constructing a database of European history from Constantine the Great to the present day,  and am making a rather dodgy entry that I would like some help on. It concerns the role of temples asd financial centres. As I understand it, Constantine started to seize the assets of temples  in 331. I've written in my notes:

" Assets were seized from temples, especially in Rome, and therefore from its citizens. Temples were the banks and exchanges of the empire, the heart of finance and the economy. Seizing their assets broke the economy, but was a bonanza for  the state. "

This may be nonsense, as I haven't read any scholarly articles on this, but would appreciate any comments, criticisms or amendments.

Thanks.

I have a particular question but I'm not sure where to post it. It involves the various ways a Roman woman could become emancipated from male control, be able to sign her own contracts and things like that.

]]>19195Tue, 19 Oct 2021 19:36:12 +0000Hello!https://www.unrv.com/forum/topic/19594-hello/ Hello all,

New here and a serious ancient Rome nerd, so much so that I'm basing my blockchain crypto project on ancient Rome, from NFTs referencing Roman currencies and people of importance to the basic app structure. I am looking for a place where I can post questions so we keep the project as accurate as possible, for example when searching currencies I see the same coins used multiple times for different era's.

Hoping some are willing to help!

Thanks!
