So many interesting events in history. But why a random one of them is at the HN top page?
- duxup 2y agoIt happens a lot. It's not a judgment call about all of them vs this one, it's just an interesting article.
- avodonosov 2y agoI haven't finished it as it's long. Seems OK. But is it much better than the wikipedia one? Interesting photos of artefacts. But no maps at all. Two or three maps would make it much more informative.

- avodonosov 2y agoNo, such random articles pop up often, and not necessary about Roman stuff.
- coldtea 2y agoIt's the "liking Roman stuff is something modern bros do, and thus beneath me" card, from the hollier-than-thou board game...
- coldtea 2y agoBecause somebody posted it && people found it interesting and voted for it. Same as with anything else. Did you ever ask "lots of posts about all programming languages on the web, but why a random one is on the first page on HN?"
