On a somewhat related note to HoM, and for those of us that are running it and are curious about the source of inspiration for this particular sub, The Medici by Paul Strathern is a phenomenal book on the history of the Medici family. Reading about what made the Medici family such a powerful financial and political organization is incredibly insightful and many of the factors in play during that time can be seen in parallels to today’s world.
As the saying goes, history repeats itself.
Just wanted to share this bit, as I have been reading about the Medici family since starting HoM. And it’s been fascinating and also helps me to understand the far reaching goals of the sub as well.
