Beautiful Cloacina of course!

Why do young people today wear the latest fashions, party hard, try to be cool to their peers and so on? Same reasons I am sure.

Argument is usually when you end up making attacks, against the other person or against a thing, without the intent of a constructive evolution of thought of the reader or the writer.

Is THIS man the living decendant of the Caesars then? http://www.new-byzantium.org/Pr.Eugne.jpg

I've heard tell that the Chinese also invented inventing first.

To prorogate an official's office, this was passed by a senatus consultum? Are there any known instances of proquaestors, proaediles or procensors?

The only thing they should be sorry for is sacking Constantinople rather than supporting it.

Asuume the penitent man position...ahh yes that's it, release the stress of sin...exhale....

Excellent, this is a lot of possibility and detail I was hoping to find. So someone help me here and give me a short list of names of who could possibly and truly be today's Emperor...

Ya I think so. I use to be a skeptic too, but then I finally downloaded it and was grateful. Tons of new units, more realistic feel to the battle, less micromanaging (but not too much less), better map layout (you can conquer India!) It's great.

This is new to me. So what did people use before 1600? Screw top seems so cheap. It would be nice though not to have to worry about getting the annoying paper wrap off the top or those little cork particles in your wine sometimes.

Great point. After all, what else is religion but psychological control. Sometimes psychological warefare as well. Leave it to the Romans to find a way to conquer at every level. We'll take your city, we'll take your spoil, we'll take your women and we'll even take your gods.

By Alvin Powell Harvard News Office The view from space of an ancient canal network is recasting archaeologists' understanding of the Assyrian capital of Nineveh and of the farming economy that supported it at its height of power almost 3,000 years ago. The work of Assistant Anthropology Professor Jason Ur, detailed in the November/December issue of the archaeology journal Iraq, is casting doubt on the long-held belief that canals that brought water from springs and rivers far to Nineveh's north were mainly constructed to support the city's elaborate gardens. Using declassified satellite photographs taken decades ago, Ur found what he believes is evidence of branches in the canals that indicate extensive agricultural irrigation in the lands north of Nineveh that scholars had thought dependent on rainfall for their annual production.

Wow thanks for that site very facinating. Actually I think the pictures can be important. While of course there will be variations, you can notice a certain 'look' to different kinds of peoples. This Native American mix of Americans is really interesting too: http://racialreality.shorturl.com/

I think this is important really. While it is true both existed after seperation for some time, its clear that there was a steady decline in the west while the east maintained. If the empire could be maintained as a whole, with the whole empire's resources allocated as needed and efficiently, under an efficient ruler, I do not think the empire would have fallen. Of course, that is a lot of 'if' in there, but if we are speaking of possibilities then this one I think is key.

Must have been exhilarating for the man.

I was hunting around for an article to reference but I got the news from yahoo, which seems more recent: http://news.yahoo.com/s/eo/20060316/en_movies_eo/18577

http://www.eonline.com/News/Items/0,1,9412,00.html It's almost time for Harrison Ford to start dusting off the old fedora. Indiana Jones is definitely coming back for a fourth installment. A spokesman for Steven Spielberg confirmed Tuesday that the director and fellow Indiana Jones mastermind George Lucas have come up with a story, and Ford has agreed to reprise his famous role. An earlier report from FoxNews.com columnist Roger Friedman raised hopes the trio might begin the project as early as this year. During a Golden Globes party, Friedman tracked down Spielberg, who said, "We have a title, but we're not ready to announce it," Spielberg said. "I will give you one clue, though. Kate is in it."

Palermo, March 14 - An ancient Phoenician city unearthed in Sicily was inhabited after its supposed destruction, the head of an Italian dig team claims . "Our finds, including cooking pans, Phoenecian-style vases, small altars and pieces of looms, show Motya had a thriving population long after it is commonly believed to have been destroyed by the Ancient Greeks," said Maria Pamela Toti . via Ansa.it

I agree it was a good one. I want to know what Junior said in Italian just before he shot Tony!

I think you can pretty much narrow it down to two things: the seething ambition which the Republican system engendered, and the background for war by constant external threat.

Julieboy from your line of questions thus far it seems obvious that you want to implicate the darker complexions and hair color of modern Italians to intermixing of peoples. What is the aim of all this?

That's a beautiful map guys, congrats. If equestrians get a discount, does that mean patricians get it for free?

Ought it to be principales? Anyway, Suetonius's dad was a tribunus angusticlavius, and I'm aiming for that. Well then you better get posting soldier!

Oops, im a little late on this one. HB-d to ya Primus.
