Ideas on the move: numbers, paper, letters, chess and news, sentence 1

In Europa Universalis «institutions» like the printing press spread from province to province over a few game decades; in real life ideas often took centuries, and sometimes people pushed back, as when money-changers in Florence banned the new numbers in 1299.

Who acts: institutions, life ideas, people, money changers · What happens: spread, take, push back, ban · To what, where: Europa, new numbers, 1299
