FLavius Valerius Constantinus

link to article A black bear picked the wrong yard for a jaunt, running into a territorial tabby who ran the furry beast up a tree — twice. Jack, a 15-pound orange and white cat, keeps a close vigil on his property, often chasing small animals, but his owners and neighbors say his latest escapade was surprising. "We used to joke, 'Jack's on duty,' never knowing he'd go after a bear," owner Donna Dickey told The Star-Ledger of Newark for Friday's editions. Neighbor Suzanne Giovanetti first spotted Jack's accomplishment after her husband saw a bear climb a tree on the edge of their northern New Jersey property on Sunday. Giovanetti thought Jack was simply looking up at the bear, but soon realized the much larger animal was afraid of the hissing cat...

I feel like kidnapping you and taking your place instead.

"Helenus was an augur and Vestra said this land is Ausonia. But you must sail first around Sicilia and then procede to Cumae. On this land you will have found a swine and thirty white piglets." Whoever is emailing you is a huge loser...note Ausonia is just another old latin term for Italy.

Makes me want to visit Europe.

I woke up this morning and was I overjoyed. Now his death is the top story all over the world.

Celaeno even called Italy the New Troy. Helenus, the son of king Priam was living at Actium. I might be wrong, but best as I could get. Weird phrases though.

Sheesh, good luck getting back the Rosetta Stone.

Only other thing I know is that the Romans also added some type of volcanic ash or rock that helped greatly with the concrete.

It does sound anti-democracy, but hey, we're also a Republic. Anyways, I kinda support this rule because even if you witness things that seems corrupt to you, the laws clearly say it is illegal to whistleblow. Also, most of the whistleblowing starts high up in the chain. It really doesn't affect the majority of workers who need not to worry about it.

I bring this up because the book, Constantine, that I'm reading has a section that offers evidence of how turbulent the 3-4 century(Constantinus time) was. It was so bad to the point that prophecies were spring up everywhere that talked about one day this someone would bring the Empire down. Here's an example "A king of another race will arise in the West, master of a great force, godless, murdering, restless..., ruler of barbaric nations: and he will shed much blood...In every city and in every place will be pillage and the raid of brigands and the shedding of blood." Another exempli gratia: There arises a king toward the East with four peoples. He summons great numbers of tribes to himself in the city to bear aid, though he himself is the strongest. He crowds the seas with thousands of ships, and whoever encounters is slain by the sword... Hark to the hoarse sound from the heavens reasounding on all sides, terrifying the whole earth as it falls in ruins. The sun fleees pell-mell, the night appears straightway on its heels, and God speaks out: How long did you think I would be patient? His signal is given, the plague rushes down from all the sky. The charge of fire descends with thunderous noise, another and yet another thunderbolt is hurled from the stars now, and the roars of the destructive slaughter are heard, the earth trembles, nor can the whole human race make out where to run. So does anyone else have any prophecies to share?

Oh God, he's number 1 on a lot of lists, and I find it stupid. I mean really Johann Gutenberg at 1 while Enrico Fermi at 73, seriously his achievement with the production of the atom bomb is more breakthrough then the printer(which people would eventually achieve anyways. Even the Polio Vaccine's creater deserved more than Gutenberg. If I had a choice, I'll narrow it down to Adolf Hitler, Constantine(where would Christianity be then), Alexander,...

My favorite is A Bridge Too Far. I find it cool its the first movie(that I saw) that didn't demonized the Wehrmacht(Germans).

Simple enough, the Vatican does what they want in Vatican City, it's their own domain.

It's actually fine, but I don't like the word praeter.

Not so easy is it? I was born in northern England, but possibly Viking in far-off origin (my name Dalby is Scandinavian) -- but my aunt insisted we were French (d'Albi) which might even make my ancestors Albigensians or Cathars. Which should I go with? DNA testing perhaps?

From what I could gather from online. The legati iuridicus, as an aid to the governor, were usually appointed in provinces that demanded or is under the direct supervision of the emperor himself personally. I for sure know that Britannia wasn't the only place with the legati iuridicus, I believe Tarraconensis had them too.

Minerva to the Romans was more regarded with education and good healthy pregnancies/births.

Favorite god: GOD Hey, God was a Roman deity too.

Did the dogs lick you?

I humbly envue your expertise. Darn, wish I knew Italian so it would my Latin classes easier.

I find it that WWII was sorta won on luck because there were so many pivotal battles that could have changed the world. The Normandy Invasions, Stalingrad, the Russian oil fields, El Alamein, Battle of the Bulge, the battle at Midway, and etc... Just my opinion

When talking about pronunciations, I can only stress two importants letters. V is strictly always pronounced as a W sound in classical latin and C is a harsh or just a K sound.

Like every conquerer doesn't want to conquer the world. Actually, Alexader planned on conquering the Arabian Peninsula, not Italia or Carthago.
