  1. Well if you decide to portay Caesar in a bad light, just pick a random topic about Caesar and you will pages of posts belong to Cato expressing his ideas/reasons of why he hates Caesar. So Cato is your best source for the anti-Caesar 'movement'.
  2. Something tells me this breaks the rules somehow because I don't know if Lays makes a chip bag that weighs that much... I could only wish they did though for convenience of the trip I have to make to a place where I'll forever be stuck without junk food.
  3. I believe in municipal terms, a decurion was a town magistrate, but also a judge.
  4. My digital/video camera, a latin dictionary, 1000lbs of junk food.
  5. link to full article Salvador Guilliem dangles on a narrow beam over the sunken remains of a mural painted by Indians shortly after the Spanish conquest. Guilliem, an archaeologist, points out the newly excavated red, green and ochre flourishes in one of the earliest paintings to show the mixing of the two cultures. The vivid scene of animals real and mythical cavorting around the edge of lakes that once shimmered in Mexico City was painted by Aztec Indians in the early 1530s during a rare, brief moment of tolerance in an era when Spaniards were obliterating Aztec culture to cement their own rule...
  6. link to full long article Recent findings from a mass grave in the Ancient Cemetery of Kerameikos in central Athens show typhoid fever may have caused the plague of Athens, ending centuries of speculation about what kind of disease killed a third of the city
  7. Not that I know of. All three(not sure) sons were fine.
  8. The reason for sacking the city was because the darn city was impossibly rich as heck. Its not wonder the Romans plundered it. It also had great art value too and it also set an example of why Greek intellects should no longer ridicule Rome.
  9. Oh yes, the weather is getting abnornamally warm, yet still a little cold.
  10. A Swedish study of 370-million-year-old fossil fish has shown that ears probably first developed as respiratory organs, one of the researchers on the project said. The fossils "show how the ear developed in detail as a complex process of steps ... and that the (first development) had to do with breathing," Per Ahlberg of Uppsala University, north of Stockholm, told AFP. Intrigued by how ears in the first land crawlers developed, Ahlberg and colleague Martin Brazeau have studied ear-like features in fossils of pre-historic fish called Panderichthys... via Yahoo News
  11. Uh about the archaeology section, can I add paleontology and anthropology as subforums even though those two sections most of the time won't be about the ancient world. It still will be interesting articles though. Oh also, since I kinda am the only other person than you who post articles, can I have the sole duty of posting articles in the archaeology sections.
  12. Ouch, I'm not sure if Chicago will ever reach that level of winter brutality.
  13. So who in mind here is the best writer or speaker in manipulating the style, form, text, et alia? I would say Cicero was a good speaker, but he tended to go astray and defame his enemies quite alot in his cases such as Clodia. As for writer? Hmm...haven't read all of them so can't really decide.
  14. I like the theme, but the purple is too dark. Perhaps a lighter shade and a little more transparency. But I must say, it damn well does stretch and look real nice as a desktop wallpaper.
  15. Uh, you're kinda a few months late Scerio. You just can't resist can't you.
  16. Uh Seneca? Anyways, the obvious goes for me: In Hoc Signo Vinces
  17. Thank you Ursus for bring this specific fact up. Whenever I read the History textbooks(high school level), they mention him only as a 'pagan', but the darn thing doesn't specificy what type of pagan or rather even focus on it. So there's another great misconception students will learn about Julian. I wish I could do something about all those darn textbooks, now thanks to you, well you get my idea.
  18. Didn't Sparta have its own league or some sort in response to Athenian influence over other city-states? Oh also, how does the religious fervor of the Spartans affect them in the war if at all?
  19. Oh heavens no, I have positive proof myself that I'm a random kid from a Jesuit High School unless... Hey, maybe a couple of the years down the line and I might be a scholar of some sort.
  20. Oh yes, it should be Lingua Latina. Oh maybe you could make the English to Latin also English/Latin and Latin/English so people can request both. Oh this forum is gonna be my new stongpoint.
