Wow. Thanks.

And now our newest member is Don Giovanni, Gaius' second favorite name. Is this trickery?

Thanks guys.

I will be gathering a list of links on classical sources. PM (preferred) or post any links you have to great internet sources on Rome. If you have any others regarding any of Rome's immediate neighbors or cultures before Rome's expansion, feel free to pm or post those too.

Heh what's gas over there? $3.15 here.

Pffft phreaky phat people.... phear me!

If the cavalry would stop, then they would get killed! If they didn't make actual contact, why would you use them? The vanilla version of RTW is accurate in some respect, but if you want unit and event accuracy get Rome Total Realism. The naked fanatics are actually naked...

It's quite obvious that the time we live is is certainly lacking on the 'religious signs' aspect, so when the year 3000 rolls around and still nothing happens, can we finally assume all this stuff is bologna?

They got the wood just as they got all the food and water they needed. The zealots had wood too, to build the inner wall. Wood is not the issue here. Remember, this is Rome we are talking about... many things are possible. They already destroyed the stone wall, all that was left was the wood wall that couldn't be rammed down. Like Kosmo said, you can't deny your only source. A lot of content is questionable, but most of the figurative language has already been picked apart. Archeology is our best friend. Buy this and watch it: History Channel You need more details on how they handle Josephus. Check archeological books/articles, for some evidence supports his work while some does not. This topic truly is a mess. http://www.unrv.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=4469 I am currently working on a documentary about this very topic! Check it out.

The same place they got all their food and water and slaves. Well he wasn't there, but he's the only source... so we have yet to know the truth.

http://www.unrv.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=4469 The Sacarii occupying Masada were indeed religious zealots. They were the last surviving band of rebels well after the jewish wars were over. Josephus' text is the only source, and with his reputation we cannot trust it at all. We cannot tell if there was a mass suicide unless we find the archeological evidence, which I am currently researching for the project whose link is above. (Thank you Viggen for this thread!!!!!) Enlisted men in the modern Jewish army used to take oaths atop Masada, but now do not because they realize what the zealots stood for. By all means this was not a heroic tragedy and researchers have pointed out that the word "murder" was normally in place where "suicide" would have been in the texts. Masada is the second mass "suicide" recorded by Josephus and given the fact the Jews looked down upon this form of action, it is safe to say there has been one mass suicide too many, or possibly even two. Josephus and his lofty metaphors may have mislead us all.

Gaius Octavius, using his normal allusions and metaphors recently signed an e-mail as 'Don Tomasso.' Naturally I googled it to figure out what he was remotely speaking of. I got: (You must scroll down a tad if you click the link) Pyramid Found - In The Heart Of Bosnia! - Ancient Roman Empire Forums Don Giovanni: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) All are smoking your weeds. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Don Tomasso ... www.unrv.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=2381&st=90 - 91k - Cached - Similar pages Isn't it nice to see UNRV represented because we all are "All are smoking your weeds." I just thought that was so cool.

Gaius, how about I pay you do do some of my Inglish homework this upcoming year? The class is called Writer's Workshop... :smartass:

It is a shame.

Wow. New stuff everyday, No matter how big. (Literally!)

Do you have a link to the story? I would like to read more details. Personally, without reading the story, I would guess that it would be an entrance to the Cloaca Maxima.

I Do! Claudius Nero and Marcus Livius Salinator, defeating Hasdrubal at the Metaurus River. I've supplied a link here for a great essay, this particualr battle being more towards the end. I love this guy's writing style. Sorry for being totally off topic about this.

Wow, I didn't know that existed... I will need to take a look when it gets back up! Hopefully it's only a small issue like you said Primus.

Many thanks to all who have contributed in this thread so far. I will be sure to take a closer look into those universities suzhannah. My thanks!
