Septimius Severus

01Caesar's soldiers killed roughly 10,000 Pompeians and captured 15,000 at Thapsus; the lopsided toll suggests a rout, not a battle.
02Ancient sources including Plutarch record Caesar falling into a seizure at the onset, carried to a nearby tower to recover while his army fought without him.
03After the battle, Caesar's own veterans executed several surrendered enemy officers on the spot — Caesar was reportedly unable to stop them.

Anti-immigrant protesters in Calais hold a sign in French reading "Diversity is a code word for white genocide", above a banner calling for remigration (8 November 2015).

Septimius Severus

Rome's first African-born emperor marched his army to Scotland's edge, declared the campaign unfinished, and died in York in 211 AD — 3,000 miles from Leptis Magna, where he was born.

Siege of Lamitan

In 2000, Abu Sayyaf barricaded hostages inside Lamitan's Our Lady of the Mount Hospital, Basilan, using patients and captives as shields. Philippine soldiers held the perimeter for days while the gunmen held the wards.

Battle of Thapsus

Before Caesar gave the signal, his troops charged anyway — ancient sources say he may have collapsed in an epileptic seizure at the critical moment. The battle became a massacre Caesar could not fully control.

Majungasaurus

Majungasaurus ate its own kind — we know because its teeth left marks on its own species' bones. A cannibal confirmed not by behavior but by the wound it signed.

Titanfall 2

One level drops players into a factory mid-demolition, then hands them a device that rewinds time — walls rebuild, catwalks reappear, fire retreats — letting a player walk across a collapsing structure by running backward through its own destruction.

White genocide conspiracy theory

A claim of white genocide in South Africa — built on disputed murder statistics from Afrikaner advocacy sites — migrated from Boer forums to Brenton Tarrant's manifesto, cited by name before the Christchurch massacre.

1919 United States anarchist bombings

In April 1919, thirty-six mail bombs were posted simultaneously to US senators, a Supreme Court justice, and John D. Rockefeller. Most were intercepted by a postal worker who noticed the postage due. Justice nearly by accident.

Hadrian

When his teenage lover Antinous drowned in the Nile in 130 AD, Hadrian declared him a god, built a city in his name, and flooded the empire with his portrait. The grief never stopped.

Lupercalia

Priests called Luperci slaughtered goats, cut strips from the hides, smeared sacrificial blood on two boys' faces, then ran naked through Rome striking every woman they passed. February. Every year.
