Lacertus

I looked for information about German tribes a few time ago and know that resourses based on ancient Roman authors. I read Tacitus but I dont remember any records of Standarts and Simbols. This site include other links on different authors. The Quadi

Good map! I dont see it scale though. And I cannot understand how looks south part of Empire (I mean Egypt). But the map looks great!

Maybe you want to achieve the fame of Spartacus? But you may become notorious here. /nods intensive

Yes, I think it is very great. Do you know is it translation from Greece? or the poem was written on English? BTW, hello, Scanderbeg!

Oh! I read it here It was Mommsen but he liked repeat the other person's words.

Really good advise. I did so. Then I was agreed for formal talks to the University and I'll have good practic work in summer. But not all professors like to help to foreign students. If you haven't any archaeological practic before you must be very inquisitive student when talk with professors. Browse University's sites and you can find information about plans for digs.

Hah! Ursus, did you pay it?

It is depend on where are you from. I came to agreement with one of the universities myself. You must know about any excavations for students and argue why you may take part in excavations. I dont know where are you from and it is hard for me to understand what excavations need for you really. I think the students of classic archaeology must have any practic. Or your college (or anything else) cannot give any summer job for the students?

What a terrible theme, guys! Nevertheless the Guilotine was made-up by a doctor. This thought is dreadful in itself.

LOL. Halloween came to Russia too and I see the attributes of this holiday in the all shops around here. It is not Russian holiday but Russia doesn

I think you may write 3000 or 5000 posts but you'll be neither admin nor mod. Maybe...

oh, LOL. Sorry, Viggen. It was me. I forgot log in only!

After the Greek conquest, the new city of Alexandria became the centre of Egyptian religious life, and indeed of the religious life of the whole Hellenic world. Eventually in Egypt the hellenic pharaohs decided to produce a deity that would be acceptable to both the local Egyptian population, and the influx of hellenic visitors, to bring the two groups together, rather than allow a source of rebellion to grow. Thus Osiris was identified explicitly with Apis, really an aspect of Ptah, who had already been identified as Osiris by this point, and a syncretism of the two was created, known as Serapis, and depicted as a standard Greek god. A great temple, the Serapeum, was set up by Ptolemy I at which a sort of trinity of gods was worshipped. There were Serapis (who was Osiris-Apis rechristened), Isis and Horus. There were not regarded as separate gods but as three aspects of one god, and Serapis was identified with the Greek Zeus, the Roman Jupiter and the Persian sun-god. This worship spread wherever the Hellenic influence extended, even into North India and Western China. The idea of immortality, an immortality of compensations and consolation, was eagerly received by a world in which the common life was hopelessly wretched. Serapis was called

Lol. It is interesting viewpoint although I

Look this site: Archaeological Sites in Israel - Jerusalem- The Northern Gate of Aelia Capitolina

lol. I don't dispute against it. The talk was about Ireland and Galicia. BTW: interesting link

I read it with pleasure... It sounds like colourful wind. One note only about it: oh God! We are so different in spite of we have the same age!

Oh, yes, because Ireland was independent of Roman and tried to keep its independent always. This is good example of Celtic nature but I don't want to speak about nationalism.

Lacertus=lizard It is my nickname for all sorts of rallies (really Lacerta). I extended it to all my forums.

Happy Birthday! Good luck! Be happy!
