Gaius Paulinus Maximus Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 You got lucky there MPC, Asclepiades seems to have forgotten his second cousin twice removed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Manicus Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 (edited) As I've had a number of turns, I withdraw my challenge and defer to MPC ... "... 'cause I'm down with MPC, yeah you know me." Edited October 22, 2007 by G-Manicus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASCLEPIADES Posted October 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 (edited) Anyway, as I have found evidence of only one Libius Severus... Click Libius Severus (also referred to as Severus III) ... An apology, GM. I wasn't aware. Anyway, he was "Severus III", (I suppose Septimius I and Alexander II), not "Libius Severus III". And if I'm not wrong again, there's still an usnsolved pic from GM Here. (Post # 255 on this same thread). I propose you all to solve it first.

M. Porcius Cato Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 No. No. No. And No, it's not Citius Altius Fortius, nor is it his sister Altia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Manicus Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 His contribution to mathematics can't be underestimated. Methinks MPC is giving us a clue. (PS - Is that guy holding a Coors Light in his right hand??) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Porcius Cato Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Let me expand slightly: Although this plebeian made history in mathematics, geometry presented him with considerable challenges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
