Antiochus of Seleucia

Or perhaps Christianity would have influenced them anyways, and maybe the huns would take it back to Asia with them too? The problem with these "ifs" is that there are always too many variables. Topics like these are usually sent to the arena and people endlessly argue about something they can never prove. I can ask, "But what if Rome was destroyed by the Sabines and never ruled the known world?" Then none of this would have happened! It is always fun to ask this stuff though.

Yes, I am actually quite interested now.

The port you hoped would be around, would that be to the south - east on the ocean? If it was a marching camp the lake would be nice to have there though. How many miles away is it from the ocean?

Actually we have a section for books call Libri, and this thread will most likely be moved there.

Oh dear I did get the right Ulverston... silly me... I found the area now. Here it is, but yes, it isn't really a good photo, maybe with the buzz about the find they may update the area as mine town has been. Bear with the loading time.

I must admit google earth wouldn't even register to those locations but the pic you uploaded did the justice. Thanks!

Can you somewhat pinpoint where Urswick is? I'm going to try to google earth it.

Neato. I'm looking foreward to what they find. My question is: why did the monk scrape a perfectly good text instead of just getting a new sheet? Uhg. Monks...

That is an amazing site. I didn't know Rome went that far north!

In Rome itself, a builder's worst fear is an archeological find because everything is halted. It wouldn't be that bad but there are innumerable finds everyday... I believe that it is a law to excavate every find.

Wow, you are lucky, going around digging up roman stuff and getting all the cool re-enactment photos. I'm stuck in the united states, in the cheese state. Hardly the place to look for roman artifacts/re-enactments. That is a cool story right there.

Bah! No such thing! The Romans were always divising new ways to kill. I found this on another Rome-Website and Pertinax can determine the validity of this tactic. REPEL CAVALRY!

Fractals are cool. I don't make them but sometimes use them to make graphics. Fractals in Background

I want to doubt that an ancient coin(s) of historical value is of two dollars in value. I looked into the 'auction' and didn't believe my eyes- or the sellers.

I have a suggestion. At the bottem of a forum thread put a "back to top" button or something of that nature. I didn't appreciate how useful they were until I read some of the gargantuous threads here.

I did buy the first one a while back for my National History Day project and must say it added a lot to my project. I will definitely purchase the newest one when I get the money.

Wow, I guess I have never formally introduced myself. I found this site while working on a National History Day project on the Roman military. I loved this place. I joined the forums, but I was overwhelmed by all the content. After a while on a floosey Myspce ancient history forum, I remembered I made an account here and realized a window of oppertunity to learn more about Rome. I often find myself now reading and contributing to the forums, looking at the clock, and realizing an hour passed. I'm glad I found this site, everyone here is serious (outside the Hora Postilla Thermae) and don't base their knowledge off hollywood productions. All the Latin for each forum, in my opinion adds to the site, and the class system is very cool. I also enjoy contributing to something that will stick around with me for a while, just something in return for all the information I can extract from this site. I especially enjoy the great pictures of Pertinax and humor of a certain *cough*senator*cough* which all add to the experience. The Triumvirate and Legati all do an excellent job maintaining and publishing this site.

I had read of one (a little ditty) in a book a while back, but I must wait until school starts to get at that book again. It was a song a few lines long making fun of the gauls. It would be a valid assumption to say it was in the chapter about Caeser...

First, I'd like to point out I spelled peace, piece and would like everyone not to notice that. Second, G.Octav, Hannibal's brother, Hasdrubal was killed in Italy at the Metaurus River by Gaius Claudius Nero and Marcus Livius Salinator. Hannibal paid his own price for Trasemine, Trebia and Cannae, he was literally chased around the world by Roman expansion. I've also heard there were always Roman messengers bringing him notes calling him hopeless, always finding out his new hiding places, representing ghosts of those he killed. He was always shadowed until the day of his suicide.

Wow, thanks pertinax, those are some good shots, especially the last one there. For lack of a better word, I must say Centurions look so badass.

May those gallant Roman souls rest in peace. That is really cool that unrv is represented there!

Ahh, yes, I guess they were in the off-topic thread! Thanks! Gaius Octavius does inspire much spam...
