[QUOTE="+VGO.DVCKS, post: 7888064, member: 110504"]Many thanks, [USER=99456]@Sulla80[/USER], and everyone else, for starting a progressively enlightening thread. This is one reason to love this forum, even from the peripheries of the community (in my case, medieval, especially c. 10th -earlier 13th centuries). You get to find out that, where the phenomenon of ongoing research is concerned, You Are Not Alone! With earlier medieval, you really have to live with an ongoing dimension of sheer mystery. The relative paucity, both of primary and secondary material (the latter of which, as for earlier periods, seems to be getting better --for one, more intentionally multidisciplinary-- all the time), effectively makes this a structural imperative. By contrast, it can be easy to envy the sheer amount of scholarship that's been done on Classical issues. I've yammered about this here already, somewhere ('Long Covid Brain' --no, there's no copyright on that), but it's (Cicero alert: ) educational and fun (no, I promise, Not entirely along the lines of Schadenfreude) to be reminded that for ancients --even the usual suspects, where whole series are concerned-- you folks are dealing with the same dynamics. ...Are we in the [I]same [/I]boat, or in ones right next to eachother, in the (quasi-literal) wake of the Titanic? You Decide.... [USER=10461]@lordmarcovan[/USER], I'm proud to second your motion. Not sure I'd want all of it on the same plate (...except, really, Why Not?), but the title of the thread was a Serious Rhetorical Coup.[/QUOTE]
