Fighting naked, sleeping with my fellow soldiers, and living in shacks and cottages isn't what I would call "civilized" my friend. Also, PLEASE don't give me the soap (not soup dude) shit all over again. If it was so effective, the Romaioi (who had a fetish for cleanliness) would have adopted the custom. You even know what a primitive form of soap looks like? Just a filthy-looking (and probably smelling as well) blob of fat and salts, that's ALL there is.

    Also, I hate moustaches. What you say about hairstyles is purely subjective, doesn't have anything to do with someone being civilized or not. Not to mention that if you have ever done some reading in your life, you'd know that most houses had baths in them in Ancient Greece. They had scented oils and various perfumes (the scraping off oil was used by those who excersiced, NOT for personal hygiene) to make them smell much better than a soap-using Keltos. There were also many public baths in Ancient Greece, and plentiful of them. As for Rome, you all know how obsessed they were with personal hygiene.

    Sheesh.

    If i can read..well i guess not! im not civilized after all. Dude

    About the soap, you can find those in stores even today, are those blue and white bars, they also very good to wash clothes. They are efective for your information.


    You konw the meaning of civilized people is very subjective and relative. How can you say one people is better or superior then another.

    Also are you trying to persuade me that i should like more the greeks or romans then the keltoi??´
    I mean why? your speach seems going in that direction. Of course hairs styles are subjéctive. but are you discussing tastes?? i like who i dam want. they dont need be "civilized"

    How can you juge me, if i read or not? do you kown me? i read a alot, and i kown what you just said, but im talking about tastes and you are talking about historical facts, so dont use then to cover arguments wich cant be cover by facts.


    You people should understand that my post was in jest, and i have the right to show my content, or discontent with any faction, i currently playing, or not playing.
    Dont take everthing so dam serious.

    And Sheesh
