An infographic of the seven times the city of Rome was sacked. Across more than 1,900 years (390 BCE–1527 CE), the sacks of Rome reveal not a single moment of collapse, but a recurring pattern of vulnerability shaped by shifting political systems, military power, and imperial overstretch. From the Republican era through the Western and Eastern Roman Empires and into the early modern period, Rome’s fortunes rose and fell with the structures meant to protect it.

Genseric's invasion of Rome, ca.1833-36
State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow
Genseric was king of the Vandals and Alans (Germanic tribes) from 428 to 477 AD. He conquered a large part of Roman Africa and in 455 sacked Rome. He played a key role in the decline of the Western Roman Empire during the 5th century. Genseric succeeded his brother Gunderic at a time when the Vandals were settled in Baetica (modern Andalusia, Spain).
Hey guys, as mentioned in my previous post I am now going to start working on a gaybian resource/explanation carrd!
With this decision comes a plethora of work and research to be done to make sure I properly and appropriately present the gaybian/velaurian community and their identity.
It would be really helpful if any gaybians out there that are interested in helping this mini project shared their experiences as being gaybian using this form (link).
Of course, only fill out the form if you are gaybian (or some variation such as velaurian/lesbigay/etc.) and are comfortable sharing your experience.
No one is obligated to share their relationship with the label, and if you are concerned about identification you can 100% fill out the form anonymously!
It would be very helpful if people spread this post by reblogging.
If you have good resources on gaybians it would also be very helpful to share those with me.
I also have a list of flags I plan to include in the carrd below. If you have other gaybian/velaurian/lesbigay flags you would like to have included please share (although I'm pretty sure I got all the important ones ever soooo yeah).
Have a good day everyone!
Most well known gaybian flag by @/beyond-mogai-pride-flags
Lesbian gay flag by @/beyond-mogai-pride-flags
Lesbigay flag by @/bunnyz-mogai
Sunset meadow gaybian/lesbigay flag by @/almondvaledeer
some specific gaybian flags! basically for anyone who identifies with another mspec label alongside gaybian - the main reason there’s two different flags for omni gaybian is because hhh the omni flag is. difficult at times when it comes to flag combinations (there was third alt but really did not like how that one came out)
Nosferatu Zodd asks Skull knight if he intends guts to follow in his footsteps( "follow you to hell") implying he knew skull knight when he was still a human and donned the berserker armor. Skull Knight is implied to be the great king Geiseric, who lived a thousand years ago. Ergo, Nosferatu Zodd is at least a thousand years old, and is probably older than the current Godhands(and Void is probably the eldest Godhand too)
