You may find a few takers here. I will not however be one of them as I echo the Augusta's sentiments. Do you plan to have this study on this board or elsewhere? If it is off-site, why don't you leave a link or e-mail address, and those that want can contact you at their leisure.

Your result for The Social Persona Test (What kind of man/woman are you?)... Lord of the Misfits (QLAM) Quirky Liberal Alpha Male The Social Persona Test (What kind of man/woman are you?) at HelloQuizzy It's good to be in a position of authority!

No, but it is on my list. I agree it is interesting; seems to be a culture and daily life book for the later empire, which is a rare thing.

Veracity of Gospels and other things

Evolutionists seem to feel it is to reproduce before you die. Many modern religious people seem to think it is to become a good person before you die. So if you have both reproduced and are "a good person" I guess you're set! (No, I can't begin to answer this questions seriously).

Pagan commentators tended to view Christianity as an intellectually bereft, emotionally hysterical, and heretical offshoot of Judaism. If Pagans were aware of such writings they most likely would have dismissed it in such a light - the babble of a weird superstition that had already shown itself not compatible with mainstream Greco-Roman culture.

It was a pleasure interviewing Doctor Goldsworthy. Thanks to Maty for facilitating the interview!

I haven't had much luck with Roman computer games. Some of it is along the lines you describe - they just take a basic genre, slap a few togas on it, and call it a Roman game.

In the middle of a orgy of Nature-worshipping
Ursus replied to Viggen's topic in Hora Postilla Thermae
I've lived in the country my whole life. It's actually a very pleasant place to live ... if you can survive without a good paying job and high culture. -
Roman influence on Christian doctrine?
Ursus replied to caesar novus's topic in Templum Romae - Temple of Rome
The crucifixion debate has been moved to here. Carry on. -
No reason for that. But since the argument over one little point was beginning to dominate the entire discussion, I split it off and moved it here.

Viggen already had created a little something for the book reviews. But after informing him of this thread, he expanded it it to include all reviews and made it more visible. So there you go!

The last book of The Golden Ass describes a fictional character's account of the initiations. Not in any great detail, mind you.

Favonius? Long time no see.

The last one I saw was a few years ago with a now ex girlfriend: Music and Lyrics Haven't seen one since and don't care too. Me, I like a good drama, or an action flick that is not totally mindless. I don't watch many movies, though.

Apparently Star Trek doesn't suck for the first time in 15 years. I may go see this. I love the Romulans. A sci-face race based on the Ancient Romans - a great concept if there ever was one.

UNRV roman archeological sites collection
Ursus replied to Bryaxis Hecatee's topic in Renuntiatio et Consilium Comitiorum
And could all put the special dates from Roman history into the calendar :-) Viggen, Moon, surely there are custom calendar companies out there, yes? -
UNRV roman archeological sites collection
Ursus replied to Bryaxis Hecatee's topic in Renuntiatio et Consilium Comitiorum
I had a thought: why not take the 12 best photos and make a 2010 UNRV calendar in time for Christmas? -
He does however have a habit of breathing into the microphone. And I thought I also heard a phone or fax ring during the interview. All somewhat distracting. But I agree it takes a historian to know one. I've bookmarked the site and will see if I can find other interviews with authors of ancient history.

I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thanks.

Salve, Wotwotius. I thought I'd move your thesis to the Academic lounge, where it won't get so lost in the shuffle. Please do post chapter 2.

Roman Art by Siebler. A review is dutifully posted in the queue for submission. Sounds interesting, DDickey. I think you should do a review on it for UNRV!
