Slaves, in ancient Rome were European/white. After the fall of the empire, they became the peasants, and could not leave the lands of their feudal lords. Later, just before the industrial revolution, these peasants were driven off the land to make room for sheep, grazing, and eventually factories. These European slaves/peasants/serfs became employees.

Does make me laugh how people those days could produce and come up with some of the most well engineered and intelligent things while also believing in complete shit.

You could laugh at the chicken prediction war outcomes but we in the modern world aren't so different.

We literally had an octopus predict the team that would win football matches couple of years ago.

There was no corn in Europe, before America was found

[aaftiyoDkcdicurak]

Using GMO corn was the downfall of Rome.

[grioulaloula]

Rome didn’t have corn until after 1492. It must have been something else they used.

"Sir, you will lose the battle. Emma did not like the corn."
