What they all had in common was that they were an integral part of the Roman Economy. or - Some were rare, some expensive, and some were used every day.

  8. First, I'd like to point out, there is an American Communist party. They will never stand a chance though. Communism can literally turn a mideaval country like pre-WWII Russia into a world superpower. However, as we all have seen, it only lasts so long before it evolves into a mix of capitalism and communism. I'm not sure the Soviets really made third world countries any better despite giving away tractors... there are now millions of post-soviet AK-47 and RPGs available to the weak governments of these 3rd world nations for dirt cheap. Factions in these countries destroy each other and hurt the population as they vie for power. Many people who have dreamed of living in a communist country go to one and end up hating it. (Lee Harvey Oswald for one example.) I am not for communism, but I wish to someday study the history of various societies such as the Soviets. As for shutting up about our "Democracy," I know that right now it isn't perfect, but at least we have a chance of changing it without shedding blood. It's just a matter of the masses doing something about it.
  9. Oh silly me. I've heard of these before, just never heard of them as "barrel" vaults. If you didn't read the article, a barrel vault, or more commonly known as a vaulted ceiling, is just a series of arches placed one after the other to make a ceiling/room.
  10. Let's hope it's not an "omg this is too ridiculous" week.
  11. I agree with ya, the equites were prestigious, but there is a difference between prestige and effectiveness. Ditto. Also, there are only so many nobles.
  12. Rameses, you can't just ask. You have to guess. I'll give you a hint: He's the one who is wearing the kilt correctly!
  13. That settles it! I'm driving over! Gimme an address and I'll be there for lunch. I'll take a sandwich!

With additional links posted here, the page could be updated easily if someone finds a really cool site.
