new usurper just dropped

The ‘Roman emperor’ Sponsian is known only from an assemblage of coins allegedly found in Transylvania (Romania) in 1713. They are very unlike regular Roman coins in style and manufacture, with various enigmatic features including bungled legends and historically mixed motifs, and have long been dismissed as poorly made forgeries. Here we present non-destructive imaging and spectroscopic results that show features indicative of authenticity. Deep micro-abrasion patterns suggest extensive circulation-wear. Superficial patches of soil minerals bound by authigenic cement and overlain by oxidation products indicate a history of prolonged burial then exhumation. These observations force a re-evaluation of Sponsian as a historical personage. Combining evidence from the coins with the historical record, we suggest he was most likely an army commander in the isolated Roman Province of Dacia during the military crisis of the 260s CE, and that his crudely manufactured coins supported a functioning monetary economy that persisted locally for an appreciable period.

omg i FEEL you about the asd articles... i'm cuttently studying psychology and THIS makes me wanna go and pursue a job in research after graduating :')

yeah !! you should! i study a very interdisciplinary degree and out of all the fields I study in (ML/phil/psych/neuro) psychology has the most inconsistent, outright harmful, sometimes misinformed-at-best info sprinkled into publications and even lectures and it's a genuine source of frustration ! we need def need more researchers committed to accuracy and fairness and eliminating stigmas, biases, etc. :)

#i think one issue is in many other fields once a better theory crops up or old perspectives are somehow refuted it takes far less time #for new publications and teachings within the field to update. like it takes a while but it happens #meanwhile in psych you have articles and lectures franksteined from older positions that have been frankensteined from even older research #which includes several conflicting presuppositions and sometimes even entirely unfounded assumptions etc etc and it does make u wonder how #the fuck stuff like that gets published in the century of our lord y2k onwards. like yeah yeah were going thru a replication crisis and #meta-research wise we have an issue where quite substantial research is not integrated into the field bc their citations metric never #took off etc etc but even given All That i think this is disproportionately an issue which at least partially is due to irresponsibility on #behalf of already established researchers. some things ive seen published in elsevier journals shouldnt have been there.#i shouldn't have seen a clipart photo of an evil puppet master with horns on an academic slide about ASPD in a room full of 100s of ppl #led by our well-established lecturers. smth needs to change fr.#but fr what do i know im just an undergrad idk 🤷‍♀️ it does come w the territory of being a field the existence of which relies on second #or third order extrapolations + interpretations lifted from first order evidence ig? idk #asks #anon #Ψ </3

TikTok really trying to give me "thinking of the Roman Empire" dysphoria

#sorry that I think the crisis of the third century is interesting #early christian heresies are fun to read about and that's gonna invole rome a lot of the time #this is also roman republic and byzantine empire erasure #(yes I know the byzantine empire is just the eastern roman empire)

NEW ROMAN EMPEROR DISCOVERED!

This is Sponsian! Once thought to be a forgery from 1713, archaeologists have recently discovered that the coins show legitimate wear & tear and were used in a period where the province of Dacia became separated from the wider Roman Empire!

Find my whole reaction here below, I'd love to hear your thoughts!!

I'm dedicated to learning Roman history but I'm NOT learning the names and dates of emperors between Maximin (235-238) and Decius (249-251).

The fact we know more about Cicero and Atticus’s daily life than we do about the entire Crisis of the Third Century™️ is hilarious to me

#power of being obsessed with each other #maybe you wouldn’t have had infrastructure problems which affected recordkeeping if you had more intensely homosocial buddies who were just #that obssesed with each in the Crisis of the Third Century ™️

Many people here think that they can "escape from Argentina/Latin America" (a stupid concept to begin with) but what I see instead is that most developed and semi-developed countries, with a few exceptions, are actually Argentina in the 90s, and are heading to a 2001 crash in different speeds.

What I mean by this is that in the 80s-90s, most countries adopted neoliberalism and capitalism just stopped focusing on producing things, at all, and became all about finances (finacialization). At the same time, neoliberalism destroyed the state (unions, welfare state, public infraestructure and investment, healthcare and education) in favor of expanding the market. Which now, with financialization, it doesn't produce anything anymore.

In Argentina we did it quick crazy and fast with Menem, and that's why we crashed so hard and fast in the 2001 crisis (and also with the 1976 dictatorship and now with Milei). Other countries like the US or most of Europe have centuries of accumulated wealth, and so they could cushion themselves on that for decades. But now that's running out. Inflation is rising, unemployment, destruction of local economies, lack of infrastructure, an absent state, social crises, political extremism... Eventually, neoliberalism comes back and destroys you. Here in the third and second world, we experienced it fast. The first world will be hit too, just with delay.

Again, the world is Argentinizing, and in not in a fun way.
