    Most romans were trained in the military arts at an early age, so it wouldn't be unthinkable to assume so. Caesar was suppossed to be proficient. Marius drilled regularly with his troops as did Corbulo. The last general to win the Spoila Opima was M. Claudius Marcellus against a gallic chieftain in the late 220'sBC.

    This is true, they had axes attached to the rods, just not inside Rome. The axes were removed inside Rome. The official, (Dictator 24, Consul 12, Praetor 2 but 6 lictors when outside Rome) could not arbitrarily carryout capital punishment (the symbol of the axe), outside Rome was another story. The rods symbolized the ability to inflict corporal punishment.

    My quote was from wikipedia. Yes the Praetorians walked around in togas within the Pomerium. No, they wouldn't have overtly carried swords.

    Not sure about towns, cities, municipia outside Rome but yes, it was illegal to carry arms inside the Pomerium. G. Gracchus' supporters were armed with styli (pens) as a means of self defense. Wikipedia; "Weapons were also banned inside the pomerium for religious and traditional reasons. Praetorian guards were allowed in only in civilian dress (toga), and were then called collectively cohors togata."

    Didn't he have access to the Arval Records too?

    I'd heard of the Subura before, from I think Cicero. I wonder what other parts of the town were called, surely not just named after the hills. The Pomerium expanded mutiple times.

    I remember reading this too. Think it was HERE It may have been Plutarch now I think of it

    Dignitas played a large part. Here's what wikipedia says about it. Given that. How could one "shine" in the presense of a giant such as Caesar?

    Some of your blogs (Cato and Sextus found so far)I can't respond to. Fix it please.

    McCain is just about the ONLY republican I would ever support. He's a reformist politician too. Can't believe he lost out to G.W.!

    Clark is a good guy and would make a great reformist politician. Alas, there are too few men like him...

    Your area of expertise and its historical context (along with Panthagus) have made it so. Others too, I think a well established university could put together a curriculum based on the subject matter raised on this humble collection of 1's and 0's!

    Alot of people died back then from relatively trivial causes in todays terms.

    I know this isn't related to units of measure. But I think the worst legacy from rome is its adoption of elements of "Hebrew tribal law" as Ursus would term it into what turned into an oppressive religeon.

    That's awesome. Weldone PP et al...

    You once said something similar to me before like this...When I was telling you about my sons teacher, (she has the worlds greatest ass), and asking wether or not I should hit on her!

    Absolutely. BTW, these compulsions are not limited to the teenage years. I fall in love everyday, on the subway, in the street, watching TV! Actually, I'm all for decriminalizing rape and renaming it to "Surprise Sex". Imagine what saturday nights would be like! Yeeeeeeeee Haaaaaaaa

    What is this, bible?
  24. P.Clodius
    PP, could it be "The Old Boys Club" made it so? I am inclined to think yes.
