Veni, Vidi, Didici: I Came, I Saw, I Learned by Nicholas Peasley PDF Summary

Book Description: History can be dry, history can be dull, but it never has to be. This compilation of history stories is the result of a history teacher and ancient world nerd spending four years collecting interesting and obscure stories from history. What began as a way of sharing the interesting stories from classes on Roman gluttony and mad kings slowly morphed into a mishmash of all sorts of history tales. The only fine strand of fate that binds the stories together, they were interesting enough to warrant sharing. Hidden within these pages are tales of Byzantine flamethrowers, Greek misogyny (women were wetter than men it seems), Pirate lords from China and Wales, Calendrical confusions, and everything in between. Titled Veni, Vidi, Didici (I came, I saw, I learned) in an effort to be clever and play off Julius Caesar claim "veni, vidi, vici" (I came, I saw, I conquered), this book is a lone man's attempt to bring forgotten stories to light with occasional levity and brevity. Read it, enjoy it, learn from it.
