  The Moral Sayings of Publius Syrus, A Roman Slave is a collection of proverbs and aphorisms pulled from the many mimes and plays of Publius Syrus. Enslaved by the Romans in his youth, this witty man went on to conquer the Roman stage. These maxims, believed to have been collected in the 1st century AD, are all that remain of the great playwright’s work. Born in Syria in the 1st century BC, Publius Syrus was enslaved and brought to Rome by an army officer after the Romans conquered his native country. It was in Rome that he was given the name of Syrus, for his place of origin. He was then around 12 years old.This soldier had a patron who was delighted with the boy and requested that the soldier give Syrus to him. The soldier complied. Syrus’ new master found the boy witty and bright and was often entertained with his commentary. With such promise, the master provided Syrus with an education and later freed him. Syrus was immensely grateful and remained friends with his former master for the rest of his life. He took the surname Publius, which was probably the surname of his master.Newly free, Syrus traveled to Italy and began composing mimes—comical farces often used to “represent the failings and eccentricities of the higher classes, and the vulgar language and solecisms of the lower.” This combination of humor and moralism was widely popular among the Romans of the time, and Syrus earned great acclaim as a poet and actor. None of the great master’s plays have survived the ensuing centuries. But fortunately, many of his pithy maxims were collected from his plays, probably in the 1st century AD, and gathered into a single volume. This collection was translated from the Latin and first published in 1856.Included among the 1,087 proverbs are some that appear to be the foundation—or at least an early version—of sayings we still use today. While additional context regarding these quotes would be useful, they still have value on their own. These 1,087 proverbs

  The Seven Years’ War - History...

  The Seven Years' War (1756–1763) marked a global struggle for supremacy between two major powers of the time: Great Britain and France. This conflict unfolded across continents and influenced various colonial and European theaters, laying the groundwork for modern geopolitics. In Europe, tensions stemmed from unresolved disputes left over from the War of the Austrian Succession (1740–1748), with Prussia and Austria both vying for dominance in the region. At the heart of the European conflict was Prussia's ambition to expand its territories, particularly in Silesia, a region it had claimed during the previous war but which Austria hoped to reclaim. This struggle for control in Central Europe was entangled with the broader power plays of Britain, France, and Spain, who were clashing both on land and at sea in the Americas, the Caribbean, and beyond. 
  This era saw an unusual shift in traditional alliances, known as the Diplomatic Revolution of 1756, which realigned European powers in surprising ways. Britain, traditionally at odds with Prussia, now found itself allied with its former rival, forming a coalition that included the German region of Hanover, which was united with Britain through the British royal family. Austria, in turn, formed a new alliance with France, its former adversary, bringing along Saxony, Sweden, and Russia in a united front against Prussian and British expansion. This shift altered the balance of power and further complicated the war’s dynamics, as each nation was not only defending its territories but also striving to outmaneuver and contain its rivals.
