When you hear about ancient battles and wars, the stories are often dominated by famous generals whose names have come down to us through history.

However, military success often relied on more mundane things.

In the year 107 BC, a Roman general and statesman by the name of Gaius Marius did exactly such a thing when he overhauled the Roman military.

Learn more about the Marian Reforms and how they set the stage for the Roman Empire, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

It was the single most sacred object in the Jewish faith. According to the bible, it was an object of incredible power that could win battles. It was the entire reason why the temple in Jerusalem was built.

In the mid 19th century while the industrial revolution was in full swing, Japan was still an agrarian, feudal society.

By the end of the 19th century, Japan had become one of the leading industrialized countries in the world.

What happened between those two points was one of the most radical social and economic transformations that any country had ever gone through.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Did Vermeer Use A Camera Obscura?

Subscribe to the podcast!

https://podfollow.com/everythingeverywhere/

Johannes Vermeer was one of the greatest painters of the Dutch Golden Age. Unlike many of his contemporary painters, however, he didn’t leave a large body of work behind.

The painting he did create has left experts in both art and technology wondering if he didn’t have a secret that helped him with his craft. A technical secret, not an artistic one.

Learn more about Vermeer and the question as to if he and other Renaissance painters used optical devices to help themselves paint, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

I’ve done many episodes talking about the first world war and I’ve done many episodes talking about the second world war.

However, despite the names we’ve given them, they weren’t the only world wars. There was another global war that occurred well before the 20th-century wars. This war actually saw conflicts on five different continents.

Subscribe to the podcast!

https://podfollow.com/everythingeverywhere/

In 1889, a new exhibit was constructed for the Paris World’s Fair. It completely dominated the Paris skyline.

Most people considered it an eyesore and an architectural abomination. The only redeeming thing about it in their mind was the fact that it was only temporary and was going to be torn down after the fair was over.

But it never was, and today it has become the iconic symbol for the city.
