This is a conclusion confirmed by a historian through his latest research.
One of the scariest things about a society in this technological age is that information travels too quickly. One shocking piece of news to publish is enough to attract countless stones from the public, whether the authenticity has been verified or not.
But according to Professor Martin Jehne of the Technical University of Dresden (Germany), the stone that Internet users use today is far from the insults of people of the past, especially of the La period. Old code.
Statue of Marcus Tullius Cicero – a famous politician of ancient Rome who is also a very dismissive person.
According to Professor Jehne, the “karma” of the ancient Romans was truly horrible and cruel. They are ready to give up sexual contempt to insult others, even slander. And the more insulting the “karma” person, the more advantageous he is, especially in politics.
This is what a recent study by Professor Jehne indicates. According to the professor, these contemptuous words at the time did not have too much of an impact on the speaker’s position in society. Today, uncontrolled use of the language can penalize you or even lose your account on social networking sites.
“The Romans in the old days did not care much about contempt and slander towards one another. There is crime, there is injustice, but there are no laws governing words. ” – he said.
The cases of slander in the La Ma Empire (506 BC to 27) can be considered extremely gruesome, even by modern standards.
“Marcus Tullius Cicero – the famous politician once defending his henchman Sestius, was ready to slander his opponent, Clodius in front of the public, that this man was incestuous with his brother and brother. Daughter” – shared professor. Of course, these were all illegal acts in ancient Rome.
In response, Clodius said Cicero was acting like he was a king – also a serious accusation. Such offensive words were prohibited today, but were quite permitted then.
According to Jehne, Roman policy was brutal. The candidates despise each other. And in public councils, those in status are subjected to a series of persecutions without retaliation – a measure that is supposed to erase the ideological difference between rich and poor.
Also according to the study, Romans seem to take great pride in the way they talk about karma with each other. “They see it as a very important cultural act, a way for citizens to communicate with each other. When they are offended you should try to get up and then counterattack if possible ”.
