Gaius Octavius

I firmly believe that The Augusta deserves a special title - and I am unanimous in this. Something like 'Dominatrix' 'or 'Amoratrix'. This is a democracy ( ), so let's hear suggestions from you lot. I shall be very severe with those of you who don't respond.

Take a look at: http://www.unrv.com/forum/index.php?showto...amp;#entry73998 Doc is right. An age ago, I had an Afrikaans girlfriend in The Netherlands. She was as intelligible to the natives as I was. I wonder, considering the above, if the Afrikaans aren't speaking the Dutch of 400 years ago?

I think that you are a Martian! Hope that that harp of yours is still plinging away.

Up to now, it has been shown that their glyphs exist and that a grammar exists. How can a grammar exist without literature and a Rosetta Stone?

Yup! A cat has five points of attack; a dog, one. One can't go hunting with a pussums. Ever hear of a cat retrieving the 'Daily Roman'? Get your slippers? Angoras have a penchant for attacking bald heads! Cats are sneaky. Except for Sylvester, the only good cat is a ...!

Hair styles! Hairstyles? Who pays attention to woemen's hairstyles? Ankles, legs, etc., up to necks and faces.

I think that 'accents' develop because of the lack of movement of populations. Until WWII, most Americans never traveled farther than five miles from their birth place. When people wanted to hear Elizabethan English spoken, they went to Appalachia in the U.S., because that population was isolated from its start. This isolation compounded the accents or drawls. As mobility has increased, the accents have tended to disappear or become a part of the whole. The Kali4kneeyaisms: 'Like' and 'you know', have become a part of the whole. With education, the Brooklynese 'toity toid' for '33rd', and 'erl' for oil have mostly disappeared. (This, of course, does not apply to the present occupant of the White House. The heavier his phony drawl, the more he is lying.) Yet, here in America, the Brooklyn accent is universally understood; whereas someone from crowsfeets, texass, can't be understood. Pantagathus will most certainly attest to this.

I'll go with MPC for a change. Cartago Delinda Est!

[but as for cats... Oh dear. She writes: "One notable omission from the list of pets, common or uncommon, is our ordinary, much loved cat. Though the cat was a sacred animal in Egypt, by the Romans it was despised, feared, and hunted, but not apparently domesticated." ] I'm a Roman! Nice puppies, Domina Nomina. Bet the pussum(es?) stay clear.

Messalina? She was easy.

You are correct! (only in that it looks like him ... but it ain't him) This is Claudius - surely! Look, G-Man , if My Lady says that it is Claudius; it's Claudius! Get it, you, you Go shaft some poor guy on his wrecked chariot! You're up 'The".

Here are some Carthaginian glyphs: http://www.bestofsicily.com/mag/art156.htm Here is some Carthaginian history: http://www.roman-empire.net/republic/carthage.html

An age ago, I went to a Jack Russell dog show. I was given charge of a couple of little girls. We ambled and ran into a herd of Lurchers owned by a couple of British ladies. The kids insisted on playing with the dogs. These dogs were at least 3', if not 4' into the stratosphere, much bigger than Whippets or Greyhounds. Ladies gave the OK; I reluctantly agreed. Dogs were very gentle with the kids. One kid asked the ladies: "Do they bite?" Reply: Well, yes. How do you think that they eat?" I was told that they were a British breed used for taking down deer. Oh, our JR, Kalley, took Best in Show. ------------------------------------------------------ Early on, the Romans used dogs in combat. They gave them up because they would like as not turn on the Romans.

The Papal encyclicals are written up in Latin. Latin was the literary and official (?) language of Hungary until the 19th century.

Nice catch. I don't think that the hardcore rock heads will be convinced though.

I think that you are all Calabrese! I'm going to have four fingers of whiskey several times. Then you'll be sorry! You are all ganging up on me unfairly. GPM and G-M in another thread. I'm going to find a way to pick on Pertinax or Flavia Gemina. Cook up some pole cat.

Did you two ever hear the term: BUST?

Tiberius?

A fair point, Nephele ... I'll have a look at it! The Avalon documents are quite clear about it.

Idaho (for his relationship with the King of Bithynia?) Seriously though, I know it's Jersey, but that's pushing it since the US state was named for the island, not for Caesar (even though the island was named for Caesar). If the idea was to truly name it for Caesar they would've called it New Caesarea. They DID! The king, assorted dukes, counts, earls, barons, baronets, squires and the common varlet nominated it thus! This crowd can't be wrong! ---------------------------------------------------- Let's get idaho 'right'. Again from the Very Low texass: "I'd a hoe."!

No matter how you bang away at that nut, the king of England called and spelt it 'Caesaria'. That's 'Caesar', and not Geir. Had he wanted to call it Geir (or whatever), he would have done so. Look at the equation above, and some of the other documents in the Avalon project.

I don't have to worry about My Lady Sophia of the North. We have a 'Thing' going. Livia?

As MPC will probably point out, no matter where Caesar goes ... corruption is never far behind. And, therefore, no better place to be named after Caesar than Sopranoland. The Green Eyed Monster strikes! How about renaming ohio (from the Very Low texass "O!, Hi yo" for 'hello') to "O!, Cato". Sounds better to me. Maybe some bright will set up a poll!

I assure you, my good man, it will be covered when Cecil gets your gold!

Its beginnings would be Dutch.
