In preparing this new translation Matthew Fox has been ably assisted by his collaborator Ethan Adams. Together they have taken one of the classics of Roman literature and given it both a modern translation and extensive supplementary material which complement and expand on that available through existing works. It should also interest anyone wishing to learn more about two of the pivotal periods in Roman history; firstly the Civil War between Pompey and Caear during the late Republic and secondly the tensions found in the Court of Nero in the early Principate... ...continue to read the review of Civil War (Penguin Ancient Classics) by Lucan

Sweden was the first European country to introduce bank notes in 1661. Now it's come farther than most on the path toward getting rid of them. "I can't see why we should be printing bank notes at all anymore," says Bjoern Ulvaeus, former member of 1970's pop group ABBA, and a vocal proponent for a world without cash. The contours of such a society are starting to take shape in this high-tech nation, frustrating those who prefer coins and bills over digital money. In most Swedish cities, public buses don't accept cash; tickets are prepaid or purchased with a cell phone text message. A small but growing number of businesses only take cards, and some bank offices

Archaeologists have discovered the remains of a Neolithic portal dolmen, one of Western Europe's oldest ritual burial chambered monuments, in an isolated field in Wales. It is thought the tomb was built from giant boulders about 5,500 years ago. Its capstone bears a seemingly random pattern of dozens of circular holes gouged into its surface

Spartacus: Gods of the Arena diverts from its titular lead character, and instead charts the social rise and moral fall of the House of Batiatus several years prior to the first season. Contained within six episodes are enough gore, sex and slow-motion special effects to assault the senses into submission. Despite what might be perceived as excess in that regard, this prequel nonetheless weaves some of our favorite supporting characters into an enjoyable tale of ambition, vengeance and passion.... ...read the full review of http://www.unrv.com/book-review/spartacus-gods-of-the-arena.php'>Spartacus: Gods Of The Arena [DVD] (2011)

Game of Thrones (took me a while but now i am hooked, Lord of the Rings with a bad ass imp instead of hobbits) 2. Walking Dead (never thought zombies could catch my attention) 1. Mad Men (I have no clear idea why, but this is just the one for some reason i enjoy the most, there is something about the 60s wen political correctness didnt exist) ...I looked up and several shows i havent seen like Board Walk Empire, Boss and The Killing seems to be just as good, anyone followed them? whats your top pick right now?

What can everyone agree is true? That it is a translation of a translation of a hear say story by no one present at time of happening? ...the period of time during the whole new testament and lots of the old one is playing are times of many "writing societies" romans, egyptians, greeks, babylonias etc... The questions is what do they write about the events if at all. The "census by Augustus" was as far as i know recorded by other texts than the bible, anything else?

...what will be the challenges for archaeologists of the future? With globalisation and museums having artifacts from all over the world in one place, the job for archaeologist of the future seems to be a even worse guessing game than now? (assuming that nothing lasts forever and there is a similar break up of todays society followed by a new "dark age" with a new rennaisance etc... )

Two of the most famous names in English history are Hengist and Horsa, the brothers who, according to Bede, were amongst the first of the "Anglo-Saxon" invaders of England to make a settlement in Kent: "The first commanders are said to have been the two brothers Hengist and Horsa. Of these Horsa was afterwards slain in battle by the Britons, and a monument, bearing his name, is still in existence in the eastern parts of Kent" (Bede, 15). Their names and the stories told by Bede have been taught as factual history to British school children for generations. In her book Britain After Rome Robin Fleming turns away from Bede and the other major sources (Gildas and the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle), instead attempting to use archaeology as the basis for analysis of Britain immediately after the Romans had "left"... ...read the full review of Britain After Rome: The Fall and Rise, 400-1070 by Robin Fleming
