    When, after a decisive battle, you wake up in a camp, which is full of people, who talk in some strange foreign language.

    Question: suppose you were Seleukid fighting Ptolemaioi? both spoke Greek.

    well, one knows when they lose the battle when one of the following occur:

    1-one finds he's cowering behind the capital's wall, and under a bunker and commits suicide with Cyanide and a pistol .
    2-your best general's head is on the lance of a pantodapoi, or other peasant.
    3-your city/ best army is now a crater.
    4-when ten stacks of one's best soldiers are slaughtered by a single UNIT of inepreienced and untrained patodapoi/ peasants. .
    5-the leader wakes up (or dug up) after a decisive batlle and hears tanze-metal.
    6-Khalid ibn-alwalid is your enemy (see wikipedia).
    7-I'm your enemy .
    8-the 300 are your enemy.
    9-the death star is your enemy.
    10-Dick Chaney is appointed advisor.
    11-one has sligers and the enemy has Tiger tanks or M1A1 Abrams tanks.
    12-the leader requested a red shirt and brown pants with a gold front.
    13-when you have an appointment with Armin Meiwes (look up on wikipedia too).
    14-you hear the breathing of darth Vader.

But this is where the real difficulties begin, since each student inevitably selects, constitutes criteria, according to his own unconscious assumptions, social, ethical or political. Moral conditioning, in the widest sense, plays a far greater part in the matter than most people- especially the historians themselves-ever realize."

    That actually happened to me.... as the Julii I abandoned Iuvavum because it was just plain crappy, but instead of turning rebel it became a Dacian town with a whole stack of gold-chevroned peasants with silver weapons. Set me back for at least ten years, that did.
