What's life in rural Sicily in the modern day? Might be cool.

Mafia.
Daniel Powell

Everything south of Rome is Greek.

I was there this summer on an archaeological dig. It's pretty comfy, but very very rustic with heavy mafia presence (though they don't really bother you). It's noticeably run down, quite a bit of garbage etc., and pretty poor but the people are kind, and the old ladies/grandads are super tiny. Lots of cool Catholic festivals as well

Was the use of Muslim administrators proof that Saracens were better at governing than Franks?
Ryder Robinson
>there was a time when Carthage, Rome and the Greeks were fighting for control of this island
Dominic Murphy
It was always Greek, even after Roman domination.
Henry Hughes
Saracens in turn used Sassanian Persian administration.
Thomas Williams
They were. A Tunisian noble/merchant who knows Latin, French, Greek and Arabic is going to be more useful than some Norman knight who arrived yesterday.

Roving feudal bands of brigands ruled Naples and Scicily for the Bourbons.
This is where the modern mafia came from.

It starts with an 1 since we don't employ the barbarian imperial system here.

THE CROWN SICILY BELONGS TO THE DE HAUTEVILLES
Brody Brooks
then how did those Norman knights who arrived yesterday conquer Sicily and all Southern Italy?
Brayden Miller
You're thinking of Charbydis. Was that really supposed to be in Messina? I thought it would have been closer to Greece.
