I remember once reading that Constantine put a notorious child killer to death in the arena. Can anyone elucidate on that incident? If "no" can anyone tell me about any other Roman serial killers & how they were viewed/punished?

Suppose you're walking along the docks of a Meditarnian city (presumably Egyptian or Phoenicia) in 1117BC. Would you expect to see many/any foreign trader ships, or had the Greek dark age led to the end of international trade by then?

I've been told (by Crash Course History) that WW2 Japanese soldiers were expected to scavenge or steal food from occupied territory instead of being sent rations from home. Does that mean men in the Imperial Navy ate better? if "yes" did that effect what service Japanese people tried to enter?

In Europe during the Middle Ages did bows (as in "bow and arrows" bows) improve over time? Would an English longbow made in 1337 likely be of better quality than one made in 937?
