  1. Bring a map. Ostia is huge and doesn't have any signs or information panels. It's not really about specific sites, rather than to be able to walk in a Roman city. You could compare the experience to Pompeii I guess.
  2. Sure it is common practice in a lot of countries, and it's as good a technique as any. It all depends on what you're looking for, what kind of soil you're digging in, etc. etc. Different excavations ask for different approaches, that's all.
  3. Not to mention knowing that you've hit it with an axe and will get away with it.
  4. Yeah, image hosting is the way to go. It takes an extra minute, but it won't give you as much trouble as hotlinking an image will.
  5. Looks like you've gained some serious picture hosting skills Don't have a clue about the picture, though it looks familiar. It's one of them early Roman folks.
  6. She is Serena (wife of Flavius Stilicho) with her son Eucherius. Correct.
  7. No. The woman in the picture also had two daughters. They both married an emperor. In fact, they both married the same emperor.
  8. Nope. The young boy was murdered shortly after his famous father died. He should be in the picture too, but I cut him out of it
  9. A check of "right click" "properties" indicates you are correct! I know. I'd never heard of him before
  10. Can't let the rabble get funny ideas in their heads, huh GO? We shall correct their misguided ways when the time is right. Good to have you back.
  11. Yes. I believe it was Gracchi, Caesar, Nero, Flavians, Constantine and Honorius. Only for some bizarre reason they weren't in that order.
  12. The ones I've seen, Constantine and The Fall, I thought were quite good. Some fluff and slight revisionism here and there, but I'll take that over the soap opera that was 'Rome' anytime.
  13. I'm currently working on a Roman era mod for Europa Universalis III. Anyone willing to help out is most welcome
  14. Excellent. We need those papyri. Can you lift a tip of the veil? What era are they, orginals or copies etc.
  15. Congrats. Going over to the dark side? I see that happen a lot around me lately...
  16. Not much. There simply aren't any really good Roman-themed games unfortunately, if you don't care about the military stuff. I'm still hoping for Paradox to make a Roman era game...
  17. The northern Netherlands were de facto independent from at least the 1580s. And besides, ever since the revolt started in 1568 I doubt any Dutch ship would have sailed under Spanish colors. Spanish coin is another matter, if this is the only evidence it does not necessarily mean the ship was Spanish too.
  18. But this time the Romans were the attackers. In fact, as far as I know Thermopylae was never successfully defended against an invading army.
  19. What explanation? edit: just noticed you edited your post. I wasn't referring to my own article or the 217BC eruption. You said "If you check it out, tou won.t find any recorded eruption between the Avellino (circa 1660 BC) and the Plinian at 79 AD.", while the article states that
  20. If you actually read the article, you will find them.
