Empire-BuildersCharlemagne & the Carolingian RenaissanceIn this episode, we cover Charlemagne's coronation, the Carolingian Renaissance, the administrative aspects of his vast realm, and conclude with an examination of Charlemagne the man.
We start with his coronation... By this point, Charlemagne had mastered the art of wartime logistics and organization, handed down news ways of governance and worship to conquered peoples, and soon he would inaugurate the Carolingian Renaissance, a period of renewed interest in the arts, sciences, and learning in general.
All of this made him a worthy successor to Caesar and Augustus, and the moment now came for him t...

Empire-BuildersCharlemagne & the Carolingian Art of WarThe founder of the Carolingian empire, Charlemagne, is often called the “father of Europe.” For the French and German people alike, he’s a little bit like a medieval George Washington.

Empire-BuildersWhy Guys Should Think About the Holy Roman EmpireSo there’s a lot of guys thinking about the Roman Empire lately, but that’s nothing new. Though the western half of their empire fell more than 1500 years ago, the Romans have never really gone away, leaving behind traces -- material and immaterial -- of their achievements in so many different realms of human endeavor: from civil engineering and hydraulics to political and legal reforms to linguistic and literary developments, and so much else.
More than any other empire-builders in the Western world, the Romans have been studied, admired, idealized, and emulated by succ...

Die berufliche Ausbildung steht heute im Schatten der akademischen Ausbildung, die höheren sozialen Status und höheres Gehalt verspricht. Das gilt europaweit. Doch was ist gewonnen, wenn der junge Akademiker am Ende arbeitslos ist oder die junge Akademikerin Arbeit nur unter ihrer Qualifikation findet?
