Gaius Octavius

I have just noticed it! THE AUGUSTA is a member of the PATRICII! Congratulations :wub: ! Well deserved. Will heft several in your honour today.

All the you'll ever need: http://video.msn.com/v/us/v.htm?g=6092FCEC...g=&Gt1=9145

You're not alone, Ursus! I'm totally lost (LOL) Now there are 4 of us who are lost.

Snow! Glorious snow here in America. Flowers and trees are molting. Glory and gloom have returned. Peasants are cracking their skulls in the millimeters of snow. Cars are doing multiple 360's and crashing into one another with a great thud. Joy!, oh Joy!

This is an excellent book. I have it, and refer to it often. One may find out more about the Wall than he knew.

Genius!

Were these the people (Scythians) that Herodotus spoke of as having one eye in the middle of their foreheads?

Good luck on ALL accounts. Will Chitown ever be the same again?!

I don't know. What time period are you talking about? During the Middle Ages.

I just realized that my last post is way off topic, so I took the liberty of copying Cato's and my last posts to: http://www.unrv.com/forum/index.php?showto...amp;#entry58580

See: http://www.unrv.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=5479&st=30 I am positive that there is another thread, but I can't find it now.

Seriously!? Oh snap... I think I can do this then... *runs off to finish* Yes, seriously. Check the rules via the 'Home' page.

Did not the kings of Europe seek the sanction of the Emperor at Constantinople upon ascending their thrones?

MPC makes quite a sight and thru the vias of Rome to the tune of the Four Caesars ! (again) Pater Emoticonae

Well... looks like I shall be one to be attacked. Thanks for the drive there Gaius and also to MPC as well... but sadly I was not able to make the deadline. If I had one more day... I might've, but the essay I have is only 3/4ths. Hey... considering I only just found out about it like a week or so ago and taking into account my other troubles I'm kinda proud with what I did finish... You have the rest of today.

"The doors of the Senate are closed to the people."

WRONG. There's isn't nary an E on the end of that name, my dear patron. Does FDR's wife have an E at the end of her name? I daresay not. , Cos., you dare to question the god-Consul!? http://www.behindthename.com/php/view.php?name=eleanore Eleanore! Do you get it? You should be working on your instead of exposing your erroneous way. Today is the very last DAY! Pater Arcanae

When do you feel that this was the case?

I've not seen the picture. I would just like to comment on some of the commentary. Hitler was a brave soldier in WWI. He was a front line messenger and won a medal for bravery. He addressed females in the formal German fashion. His government did take Germany out of the Great Depression. He was admired by some of the elites in the USA, the UK and elsewhere. Hitler admired Mussolini who thought him a buffoon. (Mussolini stopped his first attempt to annex Austria.) I feel that Hitler was a child of WWI, the Versailles Treaty, General Ludendorff and the unemployed thug veterans of WWI, the weak Wiemar government, and the short lived communist government of Bavaria. His culpability in murdering untold millions of innocents by claims of insanity and drug addiction are nothing more than grist for his apologists. He was a perfectly sane and determined devil. When General Eisenhower became aware of the German death camps, he ordered that these be filmed for posterity. The Jews will never allow the world to forget this gargoyle. At the end of the war, an uncle of mine was detached to guard an S.S. POW camp. All of the guards hated the S.S. types with an indescribable vehemence. They would as easily shoot the vermin as give them air to breathe. They had seen the cowards in action. It never ceases to amaze me to see the children of the people who fought the Nazis, raise Hitler's odious standard today.

The Ides of March are now slowly plodding through the Gloom of Night, advancing upon the Rosy Fingers of Dawn. The eternal rays of Helios will not long reign on the inexorably striding Countenance as he proceeds to the Plutonian Shore. There to grieve for another year, and shed a tear for the Lost Imperiator of Yore. He shall linger here not more; He will not wait for YOU to finish your commanded chore. Gaius Octavius, god-Consul & Pater Arcanae

On the Ides of March! It figures that MPC would work it out to be this day! Now he can TWO historic events at the same time in the same way!

Dragon's Blood? We Metaphysicians use that stuff for the Plague. For your malady, which sounds like a demon has taken possession of your innards, rub garlic on the offending parts then smear nutmeg over it. Apply leeches and lie down. Consume copious amounts of ostrich soup.

This is a result of the people and not the hierarchy of the R.C. Ursus, I believe that most 'preachers' were and are scoundrels. Perhaps a very few really believe. Emperors, preachers and politicians have always used religion for their purposes relying on the credulity of believers. Yet no one has ever reasonably disproven the existence of God or the gods. You might wish to consider St. Thomas' proofs of the existence of God. You might even become a Dominican!

And the last Emperor, Constantine XI, died fighting to the last on the walls of the Queen of Cities at the St. Romanus Gate?
