      Top-right, pure goth-jock.

      Gudeliva will crush your skull in a wrestling match and then use your blood for eyeliner.

    Meh Sparta were always preppies pretending to be jocks. I have more servants than anyone and still need daddy persia to defeat athens 🧐😭

    I would also quibble about mycenae and the hittites’ placement.

    The frequent association of myceneans with piracy and raiding seems more jock than nerd to me.

    And the hittites often erupted into disruptive bouts of sibling-killing without the adequate succession planning a nerd would have. That’s jock and goth. Plus they literally cursed the city they then made their capital. That’s way goth.

    How is Rome more jock than nerd??? All the fucking technology? Even their army was run by nerds with every various level of organisation having specific supply chain, materiel requirements, supporting staff requirements all spelled out before hand down to the dinarius.

      Rome: “People who are too thinky are suspect. The disabled are morally impaired. Abstract ideas are for dweebs. Philosophers OUT of the city of Rome! Be tall or be ignored tbh. Provincialism/anti-provincialism (GO HOMETOWN). Real men have scars. Sports riots.”

        Yeah I might have been mixing “preppy” with “nerd”. I can see it, super organised and aesthetic but not really nerdy and thinky.
