British shoplifters still ask how to remove blue. It’s a time honored tradition!
The Greeks could only have objected to Romans(I mean, they were Romans too) sexually harassing their twinks because they wanted to do it themselves. I believe it is Greece that was famous for it’s practice of paederasty.
Also, why do you only include contemporary greek territories in Greece? What about Ionia and magna Graecia?

I’m not the map’s maker, I’m too lazy for that kind of meme work 😭
After the Ottomans conquered Greece, they did a census to see which groups of people lived where. They discovered that there were some villages where so-called Romans lived. It turned out, those were Greeks that still percieved themselves to be Romans(unsurprisingly).
To be fair to the Germans the mud hut would probably apply to almost all the countryside in the empire. The prosperity of Rome wasn’t spread out that evenly, both geographically and socially.
A good one for Germany would be “get loot across the rhine” and then for gaul it could be “hide valuables from germans”

There are two things to clarify in this:
-
The Germanic tribes in the 1st-3rd centuries BCE-AD were monumentally impoverished and technologically backward, including compared to their non-Roman neighbors in Gaul before it was conquered.
-
While the prosperity of Rome was concentrated in urban areas and the upper class, there is considerable evidence of increased living standards, including in the construction of rural houses, during the height of the Republic and Principate.
