Narsil4 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 There also seem to be parallels one can make between landmasses. Which along with the cultural parallels, may suggest a number of major migrations westward. Valley of the Thenns = Glasgow Hardhome = Dunkirk Shadow Tower = Rennes Winterfell = Guadalajara Saltspear = Strait of Gibraltar Southern Westeros = West Africa Braavos = Boughrara Gulf Sarnor = Nile Dothraki Sea = Red Sea Vaes Dothrak = Qatar Valyria = Central Africa Sothoryos = South Africa/Antarctica Red Waste = Socotra Great Sand Sea = Caspian Sea Shrinking Sea = Aral Sea Dry Deep = Lake Balkhash Mossovy = Western Russia Mountains of the Morn = Himalayas Shadow Lands = India Carcosa = Tibet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a british historical comedy, you should really watch it if you like history. 14 hours ago, Hugorfonics said: This does not excuse them from their heinous reputation however. They are usurpers who had no care for the wellbeing of their family. Yeah I kinda agree with you on this one. Regardless if Livia murdered Augustus or not, or if Richard had his nephews killed, they both screwed their families big time, Livia by murdering or exiling almost everybody with a claim, something Tiberius took to the extreme (Claudius was the only one to escape by playing up his disability), and Richard by usurping the throne and removing his nephews from the succession line, ending his dynasty and allowing a man with a claim weaker then an amoeba's to take the Throne. 14 hours ago, Hugorfonics said: As @Ygrain noted, Joff was 13 while Caligula was like 30. Caligula was married (to his sister lol) while Joff croaked on his wedding night. Yeah but even so he couldn't have had Caligula's appetite (I mean Caligula had orgies involving his both his sisters). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sunland Lord Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I think there is no proof that Livia poisoned Octavian. He was old and ever sickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ygrain Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 The crucifiction of children along the road to Meereen reminds of the execution of Spartacus's army along Via Appia. Dany's initial sweeping success in liberating the slaves also has some Spartacus vibes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ygrain Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Drogo's execution of Viserys with molten gold: execution of Manius Aquilius by MIthridates in the First Mithridatic War. He had the gold poured down the guy's throat because the Romans started the war for gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
