With questions like, wasn't the 7 Years' war the first world war, not the Crimean war? Who are the Vivandières and why were the British so jealous of them?

Just a quick historical point about Pliny the Elder from the Basilisk episode, he had been commanding a mission to rescue a friend of his who was stranded at the foot of Vesuvius and was trapped at a small town called Stabiae by an onshore wind; the next day, his group made the decision to flee using pillows tied to their heads to protect themselves from falling rocks, and Pliny, who had spent his life studying natural phenomena, was so transfixed by the eruption of Vesuvius that he made no attempt to save himself and died where he stood, overwhelmed by gases carried by the Volcanic eruption. Thus fell the most curious Roman of them all.

I actually translated this account in college Latin. Probably the most interesting text we worked with.

Brian Rose

Aw, no mention of how the Austrian Empire struggled with neutrality?

Oh, I love me some lies.

I had posted a patreon question on how the war was perceived in Ottoman Empire. Didn't see that answered here.
