  1. There really are so many kind, generous and just plain old nice people on this board - especially the ones I harangue. Thanks all, Gaius
  2. :wub: "No, you can't! No, you can't! No, you can't!" (Thank you, Ethel. )
  3. Fair enough. We have had a nice debate. Lest we go around in circles, I would appreciate it if the parties involved here would sum up and indicate if any of their opinions were altered as a result of this debate.
  4. Found inside or outside of the walls of the city extant at that time?
  5. MPC, agreed. So, where does that leave us with Caesar's mental state and his ultimate cause of death? Can we agree that Caesar's murderers were a bunch of cowards?
  6. I am sure that all y'all have noted that My Lord of the Greeks, Pantagathus :notworthy: is AWOL. You have also probably noted that he is now from Erebus. Blackness! The Son of Chaos! Mt Erebus is the world's southern most volcano, and the largest by volume. He is presently having Vulcan make a sword for him to get at those pesky weresquirrels and the protohominid who invaded the manor house. :sniper: When matters are settled, My Lord :notworthy: will search for another place to come from.
  7. On a tangent, the edicts of both emperors were law in each 'half'. If there were only one 'cause', the Empire would not have fallen.
  8. Interesting that 'Cinematic Representations' has no votes - yet.
  9. I thought that Mary died in Ephesus. Abraham and Mohammed are up next. Brown fans and sundry heretics should go for this tid-bit.
  10. Welcome aboard BK. I am sure that you will add to the smorgasbord of opinion here.
  11. When hypothetical diagnoses are made, they are made without prejudice as to person. These should be qualified as the 'patient', himself, is not examined. I am sure that one would not accept the 'tele-diagnosis' of a doctor. If we are to accept what ancient authors say, then how many of Cicero's hands were cut off? So many times, in this Forum, one author is posed against another. One of the members of this board diagnosed me as megalomaniacal. She wouldn't bet a groat on that though. From two millenia away, one may opine, but not judge conclusively. -------------------------- As to lead in the water, sorry, no citation. -------------------------- As for using HBO Rome as a reliable source, I think not.
  12. I haven't seen that since I was a nipper. I think that it was on the inside of the window.
  13. That lead poisoning theory has been around for a while. I believe that it has been debunked. Water really didn't travel very far in the lead pipes.
  14. :wub: Green with jealousy! :alien: L_W, thanks. Isn't it glorious? :wub: G.O., Cos.
  15. I saw something about 'blacksmithing' in your bio. I wondered if you rode. My Bride was the captain of her equestrian team and now makes horsey type things. Phony Ponies.
  16. Medical term is 'dementia'. MPC, will you ever forgive me? (Same thing though.) And the first two items on my prior post were a 'gotcha' thing. Sorry to all.
  17. Gaius Octavius

    Coming Out

    How are things going now?
  18. Stirred, not shaken. Too much water. Put some olive juice in them. Muddy Tini. And a few olives. Makes it a nourishing repast.
  19. Just wait until Donna Sophia gets back to Old Blighty. Ever look at her site?
  20. I'm in...as long as I can put the axes in the fasces! You're on . Sharpen the ax. I have work for you. Gaius Octavius, Cos.
  21. Working on that. Any volunteers? Pay is good. G.O., Cos.
  22. And it comes to pass that Gaius has been unanimously elected CONSUL. The Roman World is at his pleasure. This office is more than well deserved as you all know. There will be largesses for all good Romans. Of course you have noted my new 'Signature'. Isn't it magnificient? Most suitable for your new CONSUL. Gaius Octavius Cos. (New 'Signature' comes thanks to the untiring efforts of the GENIUS of cyber space, Antiochus of Seleucia, .)
  23. You ought also celebrate your saint's day, even if you are not of that persuasion. You'll get rich!
