Ancient Rome song by Mr. Nicky

Roman Territorial Extension during Octavian Agustus Caesar's Regime, known as the Pax Romana, and Chronological Timeframe of Ancient Rome
Chronological Timeframe of Ancient Rome, portraying the territorial extension
of the Roman Empire under the Rule of Octavian Augustus Caesar,
a time in history known as the Pax Romana, which is the theme
of the Mr. Nicky "Ancient Rome" video below.


The following is a fun, history primer on the days of the Augustian Pax Romana.  The song is a parody of "Thirft Shop" by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis featuring Wanz.

I have posted elsewhere history primer parodies by Mr. Nicky, specifically on Ancient Mesopotamia and Ancient Greece.

I hope you enjoy the video below as much as I have... over and over again  :)

Ancient Mesopotania Song by Mr. Nicky



UPDATED:Thanks to my own direct request to Mr. Nicky, he uploaded the original video, which cut off halfway.  Therefore, I have replaced the lyrics only video with the original filled with all sorts of informative visual imagery.



Many of the ideas we have today come from Ancient Mesopotamia.  This is particularly true in the spiritual or religious realm (e.g., think Zodiac) and in the domain of politics and history (e.g., think Empires).  The following is a brief and fun primer concerning the Ancient Mesopotamia.

The Hierophant is perhaps the most important of the Major Arcana in Tarot decks.
The Hierophant, one of the most important
of the Major Arcana in Tarot decks.
A proper Tarot deck shows the Hierophant
with two fingers pointing towards the sky,
two towards the ground, and his thumb
toward himself.  There is another, lesser card,
that has the same hand expression.  Find it.
I wont spoil the surprise.
