If you're too land-poor to have large pastures, and either too capital- or too labour-poor to have individual boxes, it's wise to design horse group pens so there are no places a weaker animal could be trapped by a stronger one; I hear the same design principles apply (only more so, because monkeys brigade) to primate areas in zoos, which makes it no surprise that we'd also find it among feudal humans.
A felt isn't woven along straight lines like a fabric, it's just a mass (no loom needed!) held together by crooked fibers. Does the felt of society therefore imply "me and my brother against our cousin; we and our cousins against the other faction; all the city-zens against those romans"?
If you ever come up with a revolution in mathematical physics to replace string theory, obviously don't let me name it or it'd wind up something like "tanga theory"

> etruscans, not romans
Assuming the Sabines ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_of_the_Sabine_women#/medi... ) were not a singular event, the neighbours of the romans might've had many reasons not to lionise them. Although the trope* does recur, both in the New World ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattle_raiding#/media/File:Joh... ) and even among those seeking a new life in the Off-World colonies ( https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-yzgoj/images/stencil/1280x12... ).

on that note, any ideas why AVR's dancers would be traditional-video-clad among the greeks ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xV-eFZCSnZw ) but prude-culture-friendly among the romans ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YzJTleWMjQ ) ?
