De Bello Lemures, Or The Roman War Against the Zombies of Armorica A recovered Latin text tells the story of a struggle between Roman legionaries and the undead in 185 AD. Lucius Artorius Castus leads an expedition to Gaul to defeat a rebellion against the rule of the Emperor Commodus - and gets more than he bargained for when his enemies rise from the dead to fight again. The power of the zombie horde is amplified by the Babel of Ancient Rome's religions and superstitions, and the terror the undead bring in their wake foreshadows the incipient medieval darkness already creeping into the world at the end of Rome's Antonine age. Richly annotated, this mashup of survival horror and alternate history takes the reader on a bracing journey into one of ancient Rome's dark corners.

I have known people who opined there were no practical applications to the study of ancient history. I have also known authority figures who would probably fail in a comparative analysis between their own backsides and a hole in the ground. I used to work for at least one individual whom I could fairly say belonged to both groups. For those of you ancient history buffs who, like me, suffered under less-than-inspiring corporate leadership, there is now hope. Project Lessons from the Roman Empire by Jerry Manas is the perfect gift to give to a manager who has everything, but knows jack about squat... ...read the full book review of Project Lessons from the Roman Empire by Jerry Manas

I would like to add this interesting news article from 2000 to show that nothing is set in stone in science http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/694467.stm

Counterfactual history is and will always be controversial, because in the end no one can ever proof what would have happend, however one can make an educated guess, but i am not a military historian, maybe Matyszak himself can add to this...

A 9,000 year old beer made of rice, honey and hawthorn may give a whole new meaning to cracking open a cold one. The beer, called Chateau Jiahu, will come July be on sale in British Columbia and depending on sales perhaps sometimes soon in the rest of Canada. Chateau Jiahu has its roots in a village in Hunan province in northern China. A molecular archeologist Patrick McGovern from the University of Pennsylvania found chemical traces of a 9,000 year old beer on some pottery in a dig in the Neolithic village of Jiahu. The beer was made of a blend of rice, honey and hawthorn berries... ...read the full article at The Star
