    Pay no attention to the Brigantine. Scotsmen bloated with haggis; loaded with Scotch and regretting having put day light between themselves and a guinea.

    Just a few hours until their first democratic elections in 45 years,although I'm not sure that will be sufficient to make them happy... Democratic election?!

    If you get an A/C and have a Patented Perfect Pertimaxus, it will make things easier!

    CONGRATULAIONS! A full report as to what you will be doing is in order.

    There is a rain storm of this stuff turning up Down Under these days. But, 20,00 years old? How can that be? We all know that the world is only some 6,000 years old!

    WotWotius, yup! You got it!

    O tempora, O mores! Senatu haec intellegit. Consul videt.

    Cut them some slack. The BBC also write a very good History Magazine (actually written by historians, not the ignoramus' mentioned above). Click here for further details. Not to be too officious, but aren't you on the BBC's payroll?

    Looks 'good' to me. Is that Sun Tzu and/or Macchiavelli they are plagerizing?

    I vaguely remember my History teacher speak of a man named Pausanius (I think that

    My Lord: The above was not in reference to Your Grace. :notworthy: Certainly not the suggestion!

    You have at him Lex. Heave great amounts of micture, feculence and corruption at the scholar. He has the right to claim perfidy for his ancestry, but not to impose it on his betters. If he had a drop of Eyetalian blood in him, he wouldn't resort to such non-sense. And a ba fa en goule to him. I always need correction. Why do I think that this thread was about the Varingian guard?

    Yes, yes, something was amiss. The famous flux capicitor!

    Here I am really going out on a limb. For example, for the same capital offence, weren't Roman citizens entitled to the axe while non-citizens were crucified upside down? I hope all get my general drift.

    Problem. Assume a rich Syrian non-Roman and a rich Roman are travelling together on business to Egypt. They commit a major infraction of the rules of the road and are apprehended by the magistrates. Since different judgements would be called for, for Romans and non-Romans, how would the problem be solved?

    No Sirrah , I dispute you, an abundant supply of delicious high calorie shortbread biscuits. http://www.fortnumandmason.com/shopping/bi...ttishShortbread My word! All that stuff and the Queen's Warrant to boot! Mayhaps they ALSO chucked their stale tea into the drink to muddy the waters?

    Or over indulge with Kylle Kylle. Pantagathus and Pertinax and all other gourmands please investigate this.

    It is also a good book to get a handle on proper English.

    A long life span munching on unwary Scotsmen?

    Some operation has come to the conclusion that Denmark is the happiest country on Earth. The Congo is last. The U.S. is 25th. Compliments of the BBC and/or NPR. How can the U.S. be 25th with the busche babies in command?

    The Aussies have dug up a Loch Ness monster. BBC says so. May one legitimately conclude from this that the Scots haven't been putting one over on the masses?

    If my memory serves, during the early empire, the Romans stationed four legions in Britain - the most in any province at the time. When the End came and the legionaries salary wagons ceased to arrive, the soldiers faded into the population or went home without the assistance of a Brit 'rebellion'. A peaceful affair. Or, once again, am I out of order?
  24. Gaius Octavius
    I don't really know, so this is a question. Wouldn't it only be the 'freedmen' and discharged alien Roman soldiers who had 'papers'? Something like the U.S. today.

    Longbow, not to be too picky, but wasn't the Varangian guard composed of those Vikings who came from Kiev to visit Constantinople on occasion?
