  1. Yes, 25 was old enough in legal terms but for running a 60,000,000 people, 10,000,000 km2 empire ? I think not . I realy can't find any "good" emperor who came to that position young . Augustus is a unique case and was 36 in 27 . Alexander Severus was 14 in 222 but was he "good" emperor ? same for Gordianus III who was 13 in 238 . Constantinus, a "good" emperor, was 32 in 306 (not so young) but took the whole empire in 324 when he was 50 . And on .
  2. You see ? They thought that ordinary people can't see it and remain normal
  3. His name is Simon Woods, he was good (7.546/10) .
  4. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqGxnRdXnrU Few days ago, divine, godly, 1 to 3,500,000 !
  5. Physical strength of the "Palestinian Jews" (you meant Judaean Jews ) is like saying "The beauty of the Macedonian Greeks" or "The wisdom of the Canadian French" . It's a generalization and one must be ware of that . Ben-Matithyahu was just useing rhetorica, he was good at that .
  6. Good, old, bitter Augustus
  7. Indeed . but I hope this helps The Gracchi Marius and Sulla‏ by A. H. Beesley,‏ pages 80-91 Rome and the barbarians: 100 B.C.-A.D. 400‏ by Thomas S. Burns, pages ca. 60 to ca. 80 ‏The Celts: a history‏ by D
  8. That is a good point . It is true that Verus went east, but he apent his time in Antiochia, drinking, ****ing etc' while Avidius Cassius did the dirty job for him . Nonetheless, Verus had the supreme imperium . Antoninus Pius did not find it necessary to establish a military reputation ever
  9. Saw episode 6 or 7 in history channels' "the rise and..." and two things caught me : 1. Aurelius moved in 168 to the German border in order to establish his position in Rome (as a military leader etc') . He needed to do that 7 years after his coronation ? 2. Aurelius was not a good military leader or that he was good- or bad+ or something like that . Like to read your opinion
  10. As a member of the 1.79 meters group I can tell you that people produce nonesense when they meet a British P.M. Further, as a member of the 83 KG community with a Classic Roman nose I can tell you that Brazilian presidents talks nonesense now and then P.S. And the Jews ? What about them ? More than that, what about the Blue-eyed Jews ?
  11. "...With reference to Champlin's article of I982, and his identification of Ovinius Gallicanus as the first Christian consul..." (Statistics and the Conversion of the Roman Aristocracy, T. D. Barnes, The Journal of Roman Studies, Vol. 85, (1995), pp. 135-147) He was consul in 317 Another opinion ?
  12. Let say that Titus Flavius Clemens cos. 82 was not Christian (and if he was, who was the next ?)
  13. So he did take from the rich and gave to the poor or not ?
  14. Pure art, the movements, the lyrics, the music, the set ! (btw, looks Scandinavian, late 70')
  15. Now I see "Saint" Paul in a different way...
  16. "But it is not worth while to narrate in detail these wars which foreign nations waged with each other. The task before me is sufficiently and more than sufficiently heavy of describing the doings of the Romans." I love this, he is human...Must have been a bad day for him
  17. Played, yesterday, Empire total war - amazing game with the usual faults, waiting for the mods...Oh...the possibilities !!!
  18. New Perspectives on Etruria and Early Rome (Wisconsin Studies in Classics) (Hardcover) by Sinclair Bell (Editor), Helen Nagy (Editor) Me want ! It would be nice to compare it to Cornell's views in his "Early Rome", a fascinating subject
  19. He looks like a tribal chief from North Sudan or something...for Carthage sake !
  20. http://u21museums.unimelb.edu.au/museumcol...opatra-Coin.jpg http://library.thinkquest.org/CR0210200/an...opatra_coin.jpg If the coins are authentic one can "judge" for himself (how ? I don't know)
