Gaius Octavius

Didn't the Romans have 'government' armouries?

Good Luck!

Nice work! And thanks again to all.

L_W, go to school and take the 'required' courses. They will get you started and then you can go into anything you choose without losing time. Since inflation will undoubtedly drive up the cost of your courses and materials in the future, you will be ahead in the money game.

A haruspex?

Today is the Birthday of one of the most esteemed and noble Romans of all. Yea!, and I say unto all y'all He :notworthy: is in our midst! His most erudite posts gently inform all! Our most humble and gracious Lord of the Brew! :drunk: His Greekship :notworthy: .....................................................PANTAGATHUS! ........................................................... AKA DON GIOVANNI! Drink much high test booze to His Health & Happiness! :usaflag:

Don Giovanni: :notworthy: So,what button do you press to find out what the score is? Don Tomasso

I think that it was cowardice in battle and not necessarily the loss of a battle that caused an inglorious end.

I wonder how bottles and caps and a helmet got down 10 meters to the Roman site?

Who!?, Whom!?. Why? That troublesome 'h' again. And: 'Woe is me!' or 'Woe is I!'. Oo carez. De Nominative/Objective copz are cooping anyway. :bash:

I think that I have mentioned this before yet it is worth repeating. I think that his body has been lost and that there may be only ONE monument to him in the US.

Try this. I had two impacted wisdom teeth taken out from the lower jaw. I don't remember what they doped me up with, but I remember seeing the quack turn a little table. Behold and lo, amongst all the instruments of torture there was a hammer and chisel! And I ain't fibbing! I remember thinking that I was helpless and this quack would have his way with me. It was like a movie in a dream. After the butcher slit the gum, he yanked at it with a pliers. No luck. Then he went into his carpenter mode. Put his knee between my legs; positioned the chisel and started whacking away to split the damned thing. Didn't feel a thing - at the time. Sewed me up and sent me packing with some useless pills. As the dope wore off, the head started to feel the pounding of the hammer. When the pain subsided, a couple of months later, went through the same pleasantry again. Had to pay quack a fortune. I would have done it to him for nothing.

I understand that the Roman people supposedly made fun of Caesar for an alleged homosexual act. If so, how does that square with above?

What is the difference between the words: 'album' and 'gallery'? How does one find out what a photo has been rated (assuming that it has been)?

Check Viggen's post on the 'Battle of Vienna' in Historia in Universum. The 'Timeline' might give you some information and names.

I think that the 'Timeline' goes a long way towards making the Serbian attitude about the mostly Moslem state of Bosnia and their mostly Moslem province of Kosovo understandable. If my memory serves, it was Izabegovic's initiative to make Bosnia a 'Moslem' state that started the war in Bosnia.

Nice work! That is exactly as I pictured you.

That would not be in anyones interests.

phil25, the irrefutable force of your research, sage wisdom and monumental knowledge of facts, forces me to leave the field battered and in disgrace. Where does one register for courses at the 'phil25 College of Research, Facts & Charm'? I am in sore need.

Doll; "Yeah"?

I am a Doctor of Metaphysics and a Doctor of Phrenology, so pay attention! All of you.

So, te gustas espanol. So what? Ju woic on efpanice and I'll woic on Englice. OK?

In my opinion, all students should have a good grounding in economics and accounting so that they will have an idea as to what they will do with the loot they will accumulate in later life and not be dependent on the 'advice' of brokers.

Timing is not the essence of my view. That matter has been addressed earlier and, I believe that you were corrected. There is no need to go through it again. Let me try it this way. The US was not threatened by Central America militarily in the '20's and '30's. The United Fruit Co. was. Marines were landed. Same for Viet Nam. Germany did not threaten the US prior to WWI. British interests in the US, which were substantial, carried the day - quietly. Hitler and Stalin had a pact. They shared Poland. They hated each other. Each knew that it was only a matter of time before war broke out between them. There were Fords, Kennedys and Lindbergs, but the likes of Rockefellers trumped them. Ford, the capitalist, built an auto factory in the USSR. His economic interests trumped his pseudo-capitalism. If you think that Great Britain was a nation of cowards, then think about the fleet of boats that went to the rescue of her troops at Dunkerque. These were not cowards. If you feel that the US would not have entered the war, enjoy yourself.

Isn't there a question as to whether Constantine ever was baptized?
