brotus maximus

personally i think that they brought their own downfall for they were their own worst enemy to use it in a (my language yeeesh)

so what exactly are all the different types of fighting units were there for gladiators and what weapons did they use(also which one was your favorite) mine was the one with the net he had the hardest time to beat any one so more of a challenge i think riddick B.M

i highly doubt that look who they had as the last president "bush jr" ya he caught saddam but anything else he do right??? i am not bashing americans but there is this standerd out there that i have noticed that up here in canada at least in the part of alberta that i am(full of redeck albertans eeeekkk ) that americans in general have their heads up their asses about somethings( reminded that i am not bashing americans) ya they voted for the other guys this time and got i think the demacrats (somehow i dont think anything will change much) ya u guys might be a military might, but one day someone else will be better then you and have more economy then you(china for instance and north korea-army wise i think)for instance canada is already becoming a superpower slowly((very slowly)too slowly for me though) the country i think that is most near to perfection (here the black ninja strikes again hehe) canada of course then followed by the other commonwealth countrys(you know who you are hehe) remember i am not bashing i am just saying what i see about somethings riddick B.M

so in some ways alot of gods/godesses are based or were influenced by other gods and godesses and such around them from different cultures(greek in paticular and rman gods-many are alike with different names as an example) riddick

ya i thought this section would be good to say that i started getting into htm coding and just created a new site and iwas wondering if you all could possibly have a look at it and tell me how it ismy new webpage and also if you got gmail i have created a group and am looking for more people to add to it so if u want to be apart of an ac/dc group that also serves as a blog for any one so let me know if u want to join thanx riddick B.M

i personally would like to see more of the germans since i am part german(i have the stubberness of them unfortunatly)

i cant believe i didnt think of that duh thanx

can any body tell me what weapons were used most commonly throughout the roman reign and if possibe what kind of seige weapons did they use if at all??

i know this is a bit off topic in this topic but reading the first post about hercules reminded me there were a lot of gods and godesses related to each other or had a different name it sounds like but at the same time alot of them seemed similar am I right?? cause i just confused my self please help me???

i got mine from an online game that i played hehe and so i kept it for this when i found it(also brotus is a nick i sometimes use when i play on my comp against my friends)

that and also jagermiester thankyou germany for inventing that

i always thought that j&b's was good and also just about any other alcahol that has a decent taste(mostly captian morgans original spiced rum mmmmmmmmm)

thanx pertinax and ursus for the links i espesialy found the berserker info interesting ursus thanx

personally for me i think it is good news that saddam is geting the death penalty, personally i think that hanging is a bad way for him to die to slow i say firing squad or the old fashioned public stoning would serve him right

Oddly enough in Rome at least, Hercules was more of a Merchant cult It is an intersting question. I think Brotus, you may need to be more specific in what you are seaking. That being said, in Greece any systematic worship of Ares could perhaps be deamed a warrior cult... In Rome, one might me tempted in saying that the Salii represented a warrior cult due to their priesthood to Mars but they were actually more agricultural in nature. Bellona might be better sought as a figurehead in this case; however, the Bellonarii who wounded themselves during sacrifices on the Dies Sanguinis were actually cult firgures from a 'different' Bellona brought back from Cappadocia during the Mithridatic War... Now for Death Cults.. Most of the ancient Mystery Religions fit that bill. to be more specific i think or the most specific i can be any way is that through out history there has been religions and stuff that deal with death and warriors and i guess to be more specific, i would have to say is that with rome if there were these kinds of religions what were the most common ones and wich gods/godesses and such werwe represented in the religions riddick B.M

that would be fantastic thanx a bunch riddick B.M

just out of curiosity is there perhaps a topic that deals with that or perhaps are there any books or something like that that i could read to get a little more info on it

warrior cults i think and were there any in rome(and roman territory) becuase i remember hearing that the egyptians were famous for different religios aspects such as the i think the crocidile stuff

my question is with the wide array of selections for religions were there cults and where there death cults and w2arrior cults and if so which gods and goddesses(and or deitys) did they use

this is probably a bad coice to make (since i am canadian and all...GO ARGOS WOOOOOOOOO) but my choice is with the seahawks man GO SEAHAWKS GO hehe any one interested in canadian football and if so what do u think of edmonton(boooo)

well for me it started probably (if i remember correctly) at around the age of twelve when the teachers started teaching us about different wars and by that i god hooked and as the years progressed i wondered what other wars happened besides ww 1 & 2 so i looked into it and i found rome and all of (please excuse the expression but....) her greatness with her vast armies and weaponry and (it was becuase of me reading a greek history book that i found out about romes military might and all) and ever since then i have been hooked for rome. mostly the weaponry and the tactics i like and i am slowly coming on to other stuff like the battles themselfes (the punic wars are pretty cool to learn about and learning about). ya thats what i like about rome and also the fact that they at their prime were the most advanced race(can u call them a race or a culture) to exist ever

kinda sounds like i was a slave or something weird but thanx fer that.

so if i got this right the samnites or safinies in their own tongue were the italian version decended from the spartens now i really dont get hwo this came to be except that in some form a bunch of people broke away from the spartans for i suspect varius reasons or maybe only a few but any way the eventually founded their own culture(if i am wrong let me know) but they origanilly came from the greeks or are greeks just a distant province right???

when i started reading by book that i won(i have been to busy too finish reading it ) i got to a part that said something to the similer(u will have to excuse me i dont have my book at hand) but like this that the romans after fighting these samnite to the south(i think ) and five years after they got incorporated into the army please help me i am totaly confused

Eh tu Brute? I rather think that is why so many people have developed apoplexy over this particular "dynamic hypothetical interface". Seriously: please avoid "matches" that have no congruity in terms of epoch or proximity.As has been said Phalanx versus Legion is acceptable for debate . ps: I see Brutus is in Birthday mood! and i was in a birthday mood i was great that day and u lost me at Eh tu Brute please explain ur words for a simple person like my self(no mean stuff intended btw) and way if u could just explain what ya mean that would be great
