With less incentive to join the army, the Roman citizens turned to different careers. The Senate then filled the ranks of the army with Barbarians, diminishing the cohesion and discipline. These decisions are major contributing factors that lead to the fall of Rome.

Michael MecklerI suggested that the decline in Gaulish writing in the 1st c CE cannot necessarily be seen as a decline in language vibrancy, comparing the status of other nonliterate indigenous languages in the Roman empire. But I left the question open on what the ‘psychological shift’ may have been for those literate Gaulish speakers who stopped seeing a purpose in writing the language during the early Roman principate.Anyone here have any suggestions?<a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/antiquidons" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@antiquidons</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/histodons" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@histodons</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#language</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/literacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#literacy</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Gaulish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gaulish</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/RomanEmpire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RomanEmpire</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/epigraphy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#epigraphy</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/LatinLanguage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LatinLanguage</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/linguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linguistics</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/CelticStudies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CelticStudies</a>

Michael MecklerDespite what I post on this platform, my life is not all Basset Hounds and gardening. (Well, the Basset Hound does often manage to make my life entirely about him.)I still occasionally carry out some academic research, and I spoke yesterday to the Changelings linguistics group here at Ohio State on the subject of ‘Gaulish literacy’. In looking at the decline in surviving writing in Gaulish during the 1st c CE, I worked from Roman historian Ramsay MacMullen’s famous 1982 essay on ‘The epigraphic habit in the Roman empire’, where Ramsay attempted to explain the decline in Latin epigraphy from the mid 3rd c CE as being connected to ‘some very broad psychological shift’.(toot continues: 1/2)<a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/antiquidons" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@antiquidons</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/histodons" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@histodons</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#language</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/literacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#literacy</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Gaulish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gaulish</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/RomanEmpire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RomanEmpire</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/epigraphy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#epigraphy</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/LatinLanguage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LatinLanguage</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/linguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linguistics</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/CelticStudies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CelticStudies</a>
