Justinian's reign was generally "good" and saw success due to earlier political and military reorganizations, acceptance of political realities, and fractiousness amongst the principal barbarian kingdoms of Italy Bug insect pussy pheromone society is also against the spirit of the West ime |

More recent research has connected plagues/pandemics to all kinds of political disarray, all of it written pre-COVID (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5768231&forum_id=2).#49226958) |

Egypt had a bitch pharaoh at one point, and people hated her so much her own family chipped her name off old stone inscriptions and tried to erase all mention of her.
"Hatshepsut is, according to Egyptologist James Henry Breasted, "the first great woman in history of whom we are informed."[85] In some ways, Hatshepsut's reign was seen as going against the patriarchal system of her time. She managed to rule as regent for a son who was not her own, going against the system which had previously only allowed mothers to rule on behalf of their biological sons. She used this regency to create her female kingship, constructing extensive temples to celebrate her reign, which meant that the public became used to seeing a woman in such a powerful role. This ensured that when the oracle declared her king, the Egyptian public readily accepted her status.[86][page needed]"

There's nothing exceptional about Roman history, really. They sucked as bad as anyone when it came to documenting their own internal affairs.
