FLavius Valerius Constantinus

I'm still waiting for another report that suggest hereditary traits from the farmers. Something about Iberia.

You are very much welcomed, but be prepared, people ask you to translate types of sentences and clauses which I'm pretty sure a first year hasn't learned yet. But don't worry, there's always Scerio to correct you. ^_^ (note: sometimes take it seriously, for some reason, we have people asking it to translate it so they can put on their body as a tattoo, so you would want to give people the wrong words on their body would you. )

Oh look, Dec. 21, not too far from Christmas. Well, happy Winter Solstice everyone, not too sure if longer days is needed

Talk about misconceptions, the swastika used by the Nazis' actually meant good luck in sanskrit. About the soccer player, I kinda believe that he was doing the Roman salute, since he did it twice and was warned about the first one, no one would be stupid to do it twice. Just a question about Europe. So do European schools still teach about WWII, the third Reich, and the Holocaust(especially in Germany)?

Oh, then I am wrong. All this time, I thought you guys were referring to Cato Major. Major mistake sorry. Well then my comments are null and void.

Edited for mistake, wrong Cato. Offtopic: Is it me is that 50% of this topics posts belong to Cato.

2391 pages. Well, no wonder its so expensive. 2391 pages of maps of all sorts of types is pretty much a pain to put together.

I think you can find the life and times of Cicero online easily, I've read some of it somewhere, I just can't remember.

My, what alcohol can do.

Thanks for the always helpful guidance Scerio.

Yeah, I've read about it. I found it corny at first, but then owait, they're serious. I wonder how a group of santas even decided to get together.

The story makes sense, but I doubt the fact that Rome had some sort of strong connections with China, unless the architect who though of the Limes was chinese himself.

Well, as everyone in America has heard that the transit union finally has gone on strike. Now that's really detrimental, the estimates put it at a lost of four hundred million dollars PER DAY. Even the judicial courts has outlawed and considered it illegal to strike. Everyone in New York City that has a car now is required, mandatory, to make a carpool, at least 4 people per car. Some people have walked very long miles to get to work in the freezing cold, I feel especially bad for the young and old. Getting home tonight is gonna be extremely hard for people. So whoever lives in New York, how is it going.

Thank you very much Pertinax.

So that's what's the problem is. Is it really huge? Well, might as well take it off now.

link A new study of genes in humans and chimpanzees pins down with greater accuracy when the two species split from one. The evolutionary divergence occurred between 5 million and 7 million years ago, an estimate that improves on the previous range of 3 million to 13 million years in the past. Modern chimps are the closest animal relative to humans. Knowing when the two split has implication both for understanding how quickly evolution works and for imagining the likelihood of intelligent beings elsewhere in the universe, researchers said today.

I'm pretty sure your considered a Neanderthal if your had a huge bulging forhead with a large nose built for more intake and warming of the air.

Well it is the Big Apple or the city that never sleeps after all, New York City. I can see why one would go there, by the way, how are New Yorkers coping with that transit strike, people must be really piss. Vile traitor! Why would anyone choose to abandon the sunny skies of Manchester? Madness. For a moment there, I thought it was a soccer comment.

The individual plant types and the toxilogical categories. By the way pertinax, do you have any orchids, cuz those are my favorites types. I once saw a documentary on orchid hunters, and from then on, they became really cool flowers to me. Have you had any aspirations to name a newly found plant after yourself.

It was only in the army that the Romans counted time, the night was divided into four watches and the guard was changed at the end of each watch. So when you read latin text, it states it by like this id est " on the third watch." I can't remember the exact time they divided into, just that they made the day into four parts. The Romans most probably used a horologium wherever they went. They just considered it as day and night, but the army is different as I mentioned. Most importantly, time only mattered to the Legions. Wait nvm, now I remember. It was the night that was divided into four watches, from sunset to sunrise, was divided into four watches (vigiliae), numbered prima(on the first watch), ending at 9:00 pm; secunda(on the second watch, ending at midnight(12am); tertia(on the third watch), from midnight to 3 A.M.; and quarta(on the fourth watch), from 3am to sunrise. In the earlier times, and probably in Caesar's army, the password of the sentinels, different each night, was written on slips of wood, which were given by the commander to the military tribunes, and passed by these to the men on duty. This is a good link on what you want to find.

Uh, I think he was kidding Cato. Was he?

Well, now I know what it takes a person to get to Tribuni Angusticlavius, 590 posts.

I wonder how they even came up with such complicated names for these plants.
