¿SABÉIS POR QUÉ EL AÑO ACABA EL 31 DE DICIEMBRE Y EMPIEZA EL 1 DE ENERO?

Pues resulta que la "culpa" de que en todo el mundo ese día se celebre la entrada del nuevo año (porque a pesar de que hay otros calendarios el que se ha impuesto es el occidental) la tiene un pequeño pueblo de la provincia de Zaragoza, llamado Mara. Bueno, en realidad la cosa viene de cuando no se llamaba así, sino Segeda, y era una pequeña ciudad de la Celtiberia que los romanos querían conquistar. ¿Qué había pasado? Pues que los habitantes de Segeda construyeron una muralla y los romanos consideraron que aquello violaba los acuerdos que tenían, con lo que decidieron atacarla. El problema que tenían (los romanos) es que para ellos el año comenzaba en marzo, que es cuando se elegían los cónsules, pero entre que lo celebraban, se ponían a la faena y organizaban el ejército no llegaban a Hispania hasta septiembre u octubre, con lo que se desaprovechaba el verano. ¿Solución? Adelantar el inicio del año hasta el 1 de enero. Así lo hicieron, conquistaron Segeda y el calendario cambio para siempre. Por cierto, corría el año 153 a.C.

Por cierto, hay una pista que nos indica que inicialmente el calendario era diferente. Septiembre, Octubre, Noviembre y Diciembre se llaman así porque eran el séptimo, octavo, noveno y décimo mes del calendario, mientras que enero y febrero eran el undécimo y el duodécimo. Cuando se adelantó el inicio de año los nombres no se cambiaron, y así siguen desde entonces.

Imperial History

On the 21st of September, 454 CE, the Roman Emperor Valentinian III attempted to murder Flavius Aetius while he delivered an account in Ravenna. With an audience of nobles and senators, the Emperor interrupted Aetius and declaimed him, drawing his sword so that he could strike him down. Instead, Aetius killed the Emperor. Perhaps Valentinian had feared Aetius’ growing power and influence, perhaps he felt resentment over Aetius’ allegiances in the civil wars of decades prior. Regardless of the reason, a fearful emperor had tried to strike down the man called the last true Roman, and failed.

To empire-wide acclaim, Aetius was declared emperor, and immediately set about fixing the almost unfixable situation the Western Roman Empire found itself in. To the Germanic tribes flooding across her borders, Aetius offered alliance and citizenship. To the slave rebellions wracking the empire’s provinces, he offered freedom. To the plebes, so beleaguered by hunger and poverty, he offered land and wealth redistribution. To the military, he offered leadership and salvation. Across all sectors of empire, he tore down the foundations and built them anew.

By his death in 534, Rome was reborn, stronger, wealthier, smarter than before. The Imperial Highways stretched across every corner of the empire, the legions were rebuilt and cities expanded. Under the firm, even handed leadership of the Aetian Dynasty, the empire flourished.

Starting under Emperor Gaulterius, Rome sought a closer relationship with the nations of Africa. First with the Umayyad Caliphate and their successors, and later the Empire of Mali, Rome and Africa would develop rapidly. In 1634, Roman and Malian engineers would begin construction on the Continental Causeway, building a road and rail bridge from the lower tip of Italia through Sicily and into Roman Carthage on the coast of North Africa. Together, the two continents would embark on several other massive projects, including Terra’s first megacity of Damascus. Dagbon shipbuilders built the steamships that carried the first imperial explorers across the Atlantic, and Benin engineers helped design the underground Imperial Railway that spanned all across Europe.

In 1791, an alliance of African states signed the Sahel Accords, creating the Pan African Coalition. The same day, the Imperium Europum, as Rome had come to be known, declared them a permanent ally, equal, and partner.

This golden age would last until September 25th, 1933, when the Roman ambassador to the Qing Dynasty, Iolanus Vorenus, deliberately sabotaged a series of diplomatic communiques, and sparked a war between Rome and the Qing. As the series of border skirmishes between Roman legions and Qing troops escalated into a full blown war, the rest of the Pan-Asia Defense Initiative was drawn into the conflict, which soon spilled over into the PAC and Western Economic Union of the new world. The war would last until 1943, when Qing sued for peace, economically devastated by the war. The empire would not escape unscathed, as the regional capital of Triers was destroyed in a WEU nuclear strike.

After the war, the WEU and PADI would be folded into the empire, which declared itself the Imperium Terra. In 1991, Outpost Sapiens was established on Luna, marking the creation of humanity’s first off-world settlement. The outpost would serve as a fuel depot for further exploration of the solar system under the joint Imperial-PAC Global Aerospace Administration, although imperial zeitgeist for space development would die off following the ISV Mare Tyrrhenian Disaster in 2101 when a cargo launcher exploded over Celtiberia, spreading fallout across the entire province. It would take a miracle for the Imperium to restart its expansion to the stars.

This miracle would come in the form of Emperor Valerius Illurius Laerio and his adopted son, Herius Victus. Emperor Valerius was elected by the Senate in 2303, breaking the uninterrupted reign of the Aetian Dynasty for the first time in imperial history. Valerius was not a popular emperor, and ruled mostly from afar for the early years of his reign. It wasn’t until August 1st, 2314, that his image would be rehabilitated when an orphan was mysteriously left in his antechamber. Naming the child Herius, Valerius adopted him as his son and heir, and groomed him from that day forward to be his successor.

Herius would prove to have the charm and warmth his father lacked, and proved immensely popular at state functions, so when his coronation day arrived in 2332, massive crowds gathered to cheer. This was when three massive ships appeared in orbit over Terra, utterly immense in dimension and scale. The largest of them, measuring fully 43.7 kilometers in length, would soon be nicknamed the Invictus, in honor of the prince. Valerius, his interest clearly piqued by the ships, gathered a team of scientific, military, engineering, and cultural advisors, and boarded the Invictus along with his son.

For a year, cadres of experts shuttled back and forth from Terra to the ship, frequently accompanied by the crown prince. And then, suddenly and without warning, Victus stole the ship. He and a selected team of loyalists absconded with the Invictus, disappearing into the reaches of space.

The Imperium surged after him. Reverse engineered technology from the two other ships, christened the Harbingers, was used to develop humanity’s first interstellar vessels, and from there, the Imperium Humanum, as it was now known, spread through the stars. After the disaster of the 1st Aberinian War, it would meet the vast galactic community.

It is now 2762. The Imperium is the pinnacle of stellar civilization. Numbering over 4000 settled systems and nearly 13 trillion citizens, it is the largest spacefaring nation in galactic history. Gargantuan macro-engineering projects are a daily endeavor, and entire stars are rendered down to their raw materials to feed the needs of the growing populace. Massive Imperial warships ply its borders, and its proud Navy remains undefeated through the many attempts to conquer the nascent power. But on the eastern fringe of the Imperial Frontier, whole worlds are going dark, early warning beacons are being silenced, and disquiet grows. Rumors are spreading of something terrible in the deeps of space, spreading like a cancer. And amidst all this, the Dark Prince Herius Victus has been seen for the first time since the apocalyptic Unification Wars of the 2670s. No one knows what is coming, except maybe the once favored first son of the Empire.

La Resistencia de Numancia

Sombras sobre la Celtiberia El aire del alba se impregnaba del aroma del rocío y de las hojas de encina que susurraban bajo la brisa temprana. En lo alto del cerro de Numancia, la fortaleza de piedra se erguía desafiante, su silueta recortaba contra el cielo aún púrpura. Había una quietud engañosa en aquel amanecer del año 133 a.C., una calma antes de la tormenta que los numantinos sabían…

It's the "ride wife, life good, wife fight back, kill wife, wife gone, regret" meme basically ☹️

Rome's and Celtiberia's relationship is so,,

[castilestateofmind]

“The vital development of the Celtiberian people, similar to all other Celtic tribes, gravitated around values of high moral content... a clearly agonistic ethic led to the exaltation of war as a field where they could obtain the maximum fulfilment of the Roman virtus”.

- Gabriel Sopena Genzor. Ethics and Ritual. An Approximation to the Study of the Celtiberian Religiosity, 1995.
