Well this one should be easy enough even for the great Pater!

It's more a question of 22.30 pm and uni tomorrow 6 am I'll be posting a picture in 2-3 hours.

Your turn! Crap I've done this so many times already. Give me until tomorrow I might have an idea.

Modern Trier. Sorry

Even so I would guess at a number far greater then 4.33%. My guess would have gone at something like no less then 30-35%.

Porta Nigra of Colonia Augusta Treverorum?

All well then. Would you please care to just write very short summarize of those chapters? I have neither the time to find the book nor to read it until after January.

Well as a Centurio I guess I'd be on the move for most of the time Anyway i actually think I would have picked Pompeii if I'm allowed to miss that incident 79 A.D. It could be potentially unhealthy!

Well statistics are always fun! I used to administrate a rather large invasion board (1 million posts and 10.000 members +) and I was constantly looking on the stats for posts, new members etc etc. I must say I'm rather surprised at the very low number of female members. You indeed make it up with your vocal skills though!

Well I lack a longboat and a flight ticket is out of my foodbudget as the poor student I am. Unless I stumble upon a miracle, I'm afraid that Copenhagen will be as far as I get for a while. It is very tempting however.

I must say I'm envious, I really wish there would be be a Swedish counterpart to your UK meeting!

Well very intresting, but it's very confusing too. This should surly have been in the papers here and I've not seen anything about it at all and I read the papers from first to late page every day. Without any more information I get the feeling that this could be a Roman aged cemetary. I will ask some friends who have been working in Denmark.

Most probably not a good place for a bath in those times (either...), but the romans could have been interested in amber, like egyptians and Greeks before them? They could probobly quite easily have traded it against terra sigilata or cheap wine. Much easier then a military campaign.

Happy birthday!

Well actually when you mention it it sounds familiar. Strange it just popped up at my news feed last night.

Anyone visiting southern Italy can now literally follow in the footsteps of some of our earliest ancestors. Footprints made between 325,000 and 385,000 years ago on the slopes of an extinct volcano near Roccamonfina, north of Naples, have been restored and opened to the public. Long known by the local population as "ciampate del diavolo," or "devil's trails," the prints were identified in 2003 when two amateur archaeologists discovered the tracks, which spread for about a square mile. The archaeologists reported the find to Paolo Mietto of the University of Padua, and his colleagues. Recently, Mietto has discovered the trail goes on. "We have just found another set of human and animal tracks. It looks like this was a rather popular area," Mietto told Discovery News. Read more here. Well I gotta ask a question to all members of this forum. Do you find those Discovery news useful? I've posted quite a deal of them over the last months and I don't want to post them if everyone feel that they're just in the way here - Some feedback on that would be great. Thanks, Klingan.

People turned to farming to grow fiber for clothing, and not to provide food, says one researcher who challenges conventional ideas about the origins of agriculture. Ian Gilligan, a postgraduate researcher from the Australian National University, says his theory also explains why Aboriginal Australians were not generally farmers. Gilligan says they did not need fiber for clothing, so had no reason to grow crops like cotton. "We have just found another set of human and animal tracks. It looks like this was a rather popular area," Mietto told Discovery News. Currently the researchers have isolated about 100 prints, extending along six trails. Dating of the ash deposit suggest that the tracks

The skeleton of what could be a new dinosaur species

Thanks for your correction GO, I've only heard it in lectures before and never really remembered it. Hopefully this will help!

Wow... That's looking dangerous. And very cool actually.

Well the influence was at least certainly there. The Byzantines and possible the Greeks too called them self Romans for centuries after the empires fall. Actually I'm quite sure that at least the Byzantines kept on with that until rather late in the history.

Of course not, the empire is dead since long, it's cultural influence (That have already been discussed at these boards several times) still lives on however. Yes Rome fell, no doubt.

You're going to a gunfight with clubs? Figures! Hey! They're hard! Very very hard!

Hey when are the real nordish hord allowed to have our fun?! We will aid our softer British brothers!

I'm from the darkest corner of the globe, Thule. Oh yeah that would be (southern) Sweden I actually thought I had posted in this thread a long time ago.
