Italy is not Greek anymore
Here's a more clear version of Italy before rise of Rome.
Which place in Ancient Italy would be comfy to live?
With the bois and the senpai.
Syracuse
Anywhere with greeks.
Obviously Sardinia where they had sacred prostitution

>Italy is a made up country
Correct.

Not making any points.
Italy was already a well established country under Augustus 2000 years ago
Administrative regions aren't countries.
This. Also "ideas" are not countries.
The Romans at the time of augustus considered Italy their motherland and themselves italian
Dude i highly doubt sardinia was even settled at the time
STOP
Spartans and Athenians identified themselves as Greeks, despite Greece not being a country back then.
Did Italian identity exist back then? Did Romans, Etruscans etc saw themselves as Italians?

Just stop.
That's fine but that still doesn't prove that Italy was a country. Alot of people in lower France and upper Spain consider themselves Basques, doesn't make it a country.
>Sardinia wasn't settled at the time.
I would need more information about that for academics purposes.
For Romans, Italian boarder starts at Rubicon.
Northern part was inhabited by Gaulish savages, so they didn't care about it. They probably didn't consider Sicily and Sardinia Italian as well.
Magna Grecia or Etruria. I would love to live with the etruscans, so I can ask them where did they come from
Temples dedicated to the Phoenician goddess Astarte were found in every important urban center in Sardinia, North Africa and Spain. Every girl living in the city had to reside in the temple for a certain period of time and have sex with the sailors who passed by at least once in their lives. In these temples sailors were allowed to have sex with a girl of their choice in exchange for a tribute.
That was my first post in the thread you autist
But there is a basque country?
>I know shit:the post
>I'm jealous: the post
if italy is a made up country what other country is not made up?
At least italy was born from idealistic people not by a king that decided to form a kingdom for his own power
I dont get it. Are you trying to refute your own points with that picture?
