I’m working on a story where he becomes president and I’m wondering what his administration could possibly look like in the years between 1844-1845

Has there ever been a point in history that is a little bit similar to our world now? Eg. Struggles with technology, multiculturalism, etc?

What fascinating stuff do you know about the Roman empire?

I mean, European countries' history is rich of thousands of years, whereas first European footsteps in America are 5 centuries old (I know there were natives before all that, but were they that many?).

Archaeologists recently discovered the Pizza Fresco in Pompeii. In an article, they wrote "From a passage of Virgil’s Aeneid, [...] it is possible to understand the position of fruits and other products of the fields, on sacrificial breads that function as 'tables'."

What does it mean that the breads are "sacrificial"? How does the position of the fruits indicate that, and what does even "table" mean in this context?
