After the founding of Rome, people all lived in a hilly area on the south bank of the Tiber River. There were many hills. The Latins were distributed on these hills to form villages according to blood relationships. Seven villages were then united together to form the "Seven Hills League".

Therefore Rome was also called the city of seven hills.

The earliest Curia Assembly acted as a consul in peacetime, handling conflicts and problems within the clan, and as a military leader in wartime.

The Romans were different from the Greeks who loved to debate in robes, although by the end of the Republic the Roman senators also enjoyed eloquence.

In an era when there was no national criminal law, it was not only the Germanic people. "Blood revenge", that is, revenge for one's own family members, was common. If he killed his enemy himself, the enemy's relatives would also seek revenge from him. After his death, he

His relatives avenge him. In the end, it may become a feud, or it may lead to a national war.

Although Germanic law stipulates that the victim and his family can kill the current criminal without following the procedures, in principle private individuals are prohibited from possessing such bloody judicial power.

Severus had told Pomona before that in order to prevent excessive justification of murder, the Ministry of Magic imprisoned Percival Dumbledore in Azkaban, even though he was a father eager to avenge his daughter.

Grindelwald took advantage of this and asked "that law" "Who is protected by the International Statute of Secrecy"? Although the scene in which he spoke had nothing to do with Dumbledore, but said it in Manhattan, New York.

Albus had asked Vogel to do the right thing, not the easy thing.

But the actual situation is that Grindelwald is unstoppable. Even if he does not allow Grindelwald to run for the International Federation of Wizards "temporarily", he may still be replaced. The people will elect a German Minister of Magic who supports Grindelwald to come to power.

He might even be assassinated, but at that time Muggle Jacob was considered an assassin who came to kill Grindelwald.

Sirius's rebellion eventually angered his mother, who removed him from the tapestry. This was a punishment in ancient times, just like before the collapse of the Western Roman Empire, the church tried criminal cases. If the defendant was found guilty, he could be put to death first.

Deprivation of religious membership - "This person is no longer a member of the community".

Under the legal concept, of course there is a price to pay for killing people, but people like Bellatrix don't take the "International Statute of Secrecy" seriously at all. They abide by an older, primitive system based on blood.

The system that exists.

The Weasleys are also "pure-blood traitors", but unlike Sirius, none of them have been removed from the family tapestry. If Charlie is injured, the other Weasley brothers and even Arthur will protect him.

Sirius was alone. James, who was as close to him as a brother, was dead. Remus also knew very well that he was being used by Sirius, even though he was in a werewolf state at the time and could no longer distinguish between friend and foe.

In the era of the Curia Congress, there was no class conflict, or in other words, class divisions were based on blood.

The civil law only protects Roman citizens. In addition to the residents who have lived within the city of the Seven Hills for generations, there are also some people who were later granted Roman citizenship through conquests, such as the Sabine and other areas. They migrated from other places for various reasons.

Roman civilians were not protected by civil law, even though they lived in Roman cities.

By about the 6th century BC, the number of common people in Rome had exceeded that of citizens. They did not have the rights of a clan, but had to pay taxes and perform military service. Then King Servius carried out reforms, and property classes replaced the previous divisions based on blood.

Hierarchy. There are some clans that do not get along well. They become slaves and attach themselves to the nobles (rich family patriarchs) and become "protected people".

Generally speaking, these slaves and nobles were of the same race. Not only were they different from the provincials who became slaves due to bankruptcy in terms of blood relationship, they were also Roman citizens. When the nobles needed to vote, they could express their support.

By the time Octavian became the administrator, not only the Curia Council, but also the Centurian Council had passed away. Sulla and Pompey had planned to restore the Centurian Council, and everything had not been discussed by the Senate in advance.

The matter must not be raised before the people, because they feel that the judgment of wealthy and cool-headed people is more reasonable than that of imprudent poor people.

People who live relatively well-off will live a more comfortable life than poor people. In theory, they can maintain the peace of their souls and bodies. However, the destruction of the royal era was due to the greed of the king and the senators, who occupied a large amount of shared land.

Greed is one of the seven deadly sins and belongs to "sin", but it is not as good as "guilt" in "blood sin".

In fact, the mysterious man already has a lot. Perhaps the biggest difference between him and Sirius Black is that he was not born with it all.

Talents who are never satisfied are ambitious and will eventually be destroyed by their inflated ambitions.

Bella was loyal to the mysterious man, at least unlike Snape, who would change his patron when something went wrong. He also wanted to persuade Pomona to go with him.

If it weren't for his clear mind, he wouldn't stand out among the fanatical Death Eaters...

People often compare fate to a storm. Only a few people can survive in the stormy waves.

But everyone who started the frenzy felt that he would become a survivor. Antony was finally brought back to Rome with Cleopatra, but the way he came back was not as a triumphant general, but as a body tied to a chariot and paraded through the streets.

In both good times and bad, intemperance is a sign of imprudence.

But he is an indispensable character in that drama.

In the ancient Greek play about Medea, "If a wise man cannot profit himself, his cleverness is in vain."

Now Pomona understood what Dumbledore meant when he praised Severus as a smart man.

He is no longer the young man who has good grades but is not good at riding a broomstick and wants to perform in front of the girl he likes.

There are many swallow-tailed dogs in the school. They behave very cutely in front of wizards and are no different from ordinary dogs. However, Kettleburn prohibits Muggle students from adopting them as pets.

This type of dog is not suitable for them to take into their home as they are very unfriendly to Muggles, and dogs are usually kept as family pets.

In the past, no one cared about it, which resulted in many swallow-tailed dogs being abandoned. They would eat everything, including rubber tires.

When you are hungry, you will not be picky about food.

Times have changed, and modern people are no longer as scarce in food as ancient people.

In the early days of Octavian's accession to the throne, Pompey the Younger organized a fleet to harass Rome's maritime trade, causing famine in Rome and almost causing turmoil.

At that time, Rome relied heavily on grain shipped from the province of Egypt, and the Roman land that originally produced grain was planted with grapes.

Grapes are not only used for eating, they can also be used to make wine.

Can these drunken nobles really make more reasonable judgments than the rash poor people?

Looking at the person who was pulling her away in a hurry, she felt like an animal that sensed danger before an earthquake. She panicked and didn't choose a way, but bystanders looked at her and laughed.

So Pomona shook off his hand and stood still.

He also stopped and looked back at her.

What should she say? Or should she act out a scene with tears in her eyes?

Her mind went blank, like an actor who had forgotten all his lines when he went on stage and had no idea what to do next.
