All-Purpose History Threads
Meme has always been into historical geekery. See, for example, this February 2011 thread about women in the Middle Ages. However, in March 2015, regular history threads began to appear each post — with a strong emphasis on Mark Antony and Cicero’s love/hate relationship. (Single-topic history threads continued as well.)
