History

[close] (This is a rp group) The commerce capital of the free world, New York City has some very interesting places- and some very interesting people. Do you see that man with crazy, greying hair, dressed in a suit and running across Lincoln Center? That's Ludwig van Beethoven, currently the conductor at the Metropolitan Opera House. And do you see the college professor with the pin of a knight and an age-old manuscript under his arm? That's Giuliano de' Medici, who was assassinated in 1478. All of these people should be dead, but how are they alive? It's your turn to add someone to the mix... Follow the Mod's Pinterest Page!

[close] This is an online reading club focusing on Western history, with a few digressions into other geographical and cultural areas that fundamentally impacted the West. There will be no “experts in the room;” we’re not professors or trained historians, just fans of history looking forward to dorking out. In other words, we assume interest and intelligence but not specialization. We’ll be reading roughly one book per month, each focusing on one of 14 chronological periods (listed below). This isn’t homework – if you’re a fan of history, have fun! Classical Greece (c. 480 – 399 BCE) Hellenistic Period (c. 323 – 146 BCE) Roman Republic (c. 147 – 27 BCE) Early Roman Empire (c. 27 BCE – 284 CE) Late Roman Empire / Late Antiquity (c. 284 – 500) Early Medieval (c. 476 – 1066) Early Islam (7th cent.) High Medieval (c. 1066 – 1300) Mongol Conquest (13th / 14th cent.) Late Medieval (c. 1300 – 1453) Renaissance (c. 14th -17th cent.) Protestant Reformation (16th cent.) New World colonization / Spanish Hegemony (roughly 16th – early 19th cent.) Enlightenment (18th cent.)
