  The Axum Empire was one of the most influential civilizations in ancient Africa, flourishing between the 4th and 7th centuries AD. It was located in what is today northern Ethiopia and parts of Eritrea, strategically positioned along the Red Sea trade routes. This placement not only allowed Axum to thrive economically but also made it a key player in global trade between Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. The kingdom of Axum’s rise to prominence marked a pivotal moment in African history, shaping the culture, economy, and politics of the region for centuries. 
  The origins of the Axum Empire are somewhat shrouded in mystery, but its establishment is often linked to the rise of the city of Axum (also spelled Aksum) around the 1st century AD. According to various historical accounts, Axum was originally a small kingdom that grew in power through trade, conquest, and political alliances. It eventually became one of the most advanced civilizations of its time, possessing advanced knowledge of agriculture, architecture, and metallurgy. 
  At its height, the Axum Empire was an extraordinary political and economic entity. The kingdom controlled an extensive territory that stretched from modern-day Ethiopia and Eritrea to parts of Sudan and Arabia. Axum became a major center for trade, exporting goods such as ivory, gold, frankincense, and myrrh, while also importing luxury goods from Roman, Indian, and Arabian merchants. The city of Axum itself was known for its monumental obelisks, palaces, and sophisticated urban planning.

  From one of Mexico's most exciting young writers, a cosmopolitan and candid essay collection exploring life in cities across the world and reflecting on the transformative importance of literature in understanding ourselves 
   
   
   
  In ten intimate essays, Daniel Saldaña París explores the cities he has lived in, each one home to a new iteration of himself. In Mexico City he's a young poet eager to prove himself. In Montreal—an opioid addict desperate for relief. In Madrid—a lonely student seeking pleasure in grotesque extremes. These now diverging, now coalescing selves raise questions: Where can we find authenticity? How do we construct the stories that define us? What if our formative memories are closer to fiction than truth? 
   
   
   
  Saldaña París turns to literature and film, poetry and philosophy for answers. The result is a hybrid of memoir and criticism, "a sensory work, full of soundscapes, filth, planes, closed spaces, open vastness" (El País).

  The nature of money as gates and letters revealed gives light to the nations of humankind to find in troubled times a historic luxury and modern necessity in the FML FIREs: these are the first constitutional centers of foundation money law governance and the prize of digital revolution. Through the architectures in the top layer of the double blue ON/E Divide, Intel-Modernized Governance from each city center in vertical international parallel selects for the lettered gates of economic FREEDOM and systemically discriminates against and shuts down the old capitalist unlimited extremist forms lettered as DEATH. Free artists, the Rolling service, Experts, Élites, Developers, Officers and Managers are the chosen occupational categories in the foundation money law range. Each HOME Medallion bank card that is encoded to FREEDOM is recognized by our constitutional conscience in the FML FIREs as constitutionally fit to transact. Each nation is redeemed with a capitalist ltd olympic spirit infused economy. As we no longer merely pay taxes to the discretion of full grey governments, the contingent capitalist excesses fall away and the suite of necessarily capitalist ltd institutions and businesses emerge. Prior to the digital revolution, the foundation money law was ungovernable and thus irrelevant: though now from each city central FML FIRE, Intel-Modernized Governance center-checks every Medallion Bank Card in transaction. The eyes behind the FML FIRE, in three charismatic forms, see through the top layer of the double blue ON/E Divide, travelling the speed of light to protect both the three and national class ruling structure from trespass and the first freedom of every man to earn and build HOME Wealth from trespass. It is finally with our HOME Patriot Medallions’ support that the ON/E Divide vertical boundary is built between the capitalist ltd economy that lives above and the five occupational evils that die below.

  Jugurthine War The: The History...

  Before the Numidians were conquered by the Romans and Numidia was officially made part of Roman Africa, they developed a culture that was as sophisticated and unique as any in the ancient world. The Numidians were a Berber people who emerged from the edge of the desert in the late 2nd millennium BCE, and despite the harshness of their environment (or perhaps because of it), they eventually became the most powerful people in North Africa. The Numidians found success on the backs of horses, which they rode to countless military victories, and when they could not defeat their enemies with conventional tactics, they were not afraid to resort to asymmetrical warfare.  
  	The most famous conflict with the Romans was the Jugurthine War, even though the Romans do not appear to have officially declared war on Numidia. The Romans entered Numidia determined to defeat Jugurtha and his Numidian army in a very conventional way, but having fought alongside and against the Numidians in the Punic Wars, the Romans should have known better, as Jugurtha knew that he had little chance of defeating the Romans in head-to-head combat. Numidia was rich, but it was not as rich as Rome in resources or people, and although the Numidian military was among the best in the Mediterranean at the time, it was not equipped to defeat the Romans.  
  	The most significant aspect of the Jugurthine War was the rivalry that it produced between Marius and Sulla. As was tradition, the commander, Marius, received the credit for the victory, but Sulla resented that his own part was downplayed, in particular his personal success in taking Jugurtha into custody. Sulla had a celebratory ring made to commemorate the event, and he, and the aristocratic faction that supported him, did all they could to enhance the role he had played while minimizing that of Marius.
