    Try to look at a Servian boundried map, sorry I can't be more helpful but that boundry would be the Rome of your particular era. HERE is a list of gates HERE is a little clickable map (about halfway down the page)

    You're most certainly right on the 'use' of Cicero. Octavian was the consumate politician, surrounded by expert advisors. As for the Augustan regime squashing material. One has to remember this may have been the case with The Cato, but not so in most other cases I think. Atticus was the principle editor of Cicero's legacy. He had teams of slaves/freedmen collecting Cicero's writings/letters from all over and carefully published that which we know today.

    I agree with the meat of your response. But I don't on your condemnation of Cicero's willingness to bend for political accommodation. Isn't that what government should be about, compromise to suit the common good, not the needs of a fanatical faction? In this, Cicero shared the moderate Caesarian ideal.

    The thing I love about Cicero is the first hand accounts of the little humanisms of our favorites (or not). He describes M. Antonius when tribune, puking from drunkeness while in mid speech on the rostrum. How Caesar used to scratch his head with one finger so as not to disturb his hair. And his (Cicero's) unbridled love for his daughter, his un-roman mourning at her death, etc..

    Yeah I'd like to revisit too. The otherone got a little nasty at one point I think.

    Seneca was Nero's tutor, I think, not Gaius's. He was I believe exiled, then pardoned by Claudius. I seem to remember being critical of the Claudian regime upon the ascension of Nero.

    Fiction=Catch 22 Fact=Difficult choice, Both Caesar and Hannibal by T. A. Dodge are hard to beat, but there are also many other candidates.

    Do you also enjoy earthquakes, mudslides, bankrupt state economy, etc...? NYC is where all civilized people choose to habit, n'est pas Octavius?

    York would be good, as a center of Roman power in the north it is appropriate. It would be nice to get some of the yanks to come too!

    I'd be in favor of making a pilgrimage to Blighty!

    Don't mess with the empire (no matter how dwindled it maybe)!

    "Yankees" was I think a Native American mispronounciation of the french word "Anglais", which ofcourse means "English"!

    You're ALL yanks! To the victor belong the spoils! :-) My son is a North Carolingian...I love it down there and visit very often. Would move there in a heartbeat!

    I've NEVER met anyone called Viggen!

    Nice little site, informative, and illustrative of the varied beers of Blighty. Pantagthus, you're a yank aren't you? Seems a pilgrimage is in order!
  21. P.Clodius
    Ditto...I often find links to UNRV on wikipedia.

    Love the Aristophanes quote!

    My take on him exactly. He was contemptuous of the senate after they handed him in one fell swoop all the powers Augustus and Tiberius had carefully attained over time. Just a kid without restraint and a sick sense of humor, something in which he and I share. Hail Incitatus!!
