    Price list for Russia for similar parameters: fastest - 159$ (limited to 30 GB transfer volume a month too) slower - 8$ (limited to 500 MB transfer volume a month) I pay 65$ (limited to 20 GB transfer volume a month) don't sure about speed. It is not constant and usually slower then was declared.
  2. I'm agreed but I advanced my opinion only and this theme was honey to my soul. I know this viewpoint is not holds much favour nevertheless it has right to be. It is impossible to write and look back to bad scholarship. It is better then Celtic nationalism for example or something like that.

    If say honesty don't know but it is possible in Russia probably. I know there are people which make own cars. Most likely on own loggias...
  5. Religion and magic had a central place in the life of Celts. As in any Pagan society there were many Gods: god of light, god of wisdom, oratory and writing ( The Celts had their own runic alphabet), god of sea, goddess of war, and a countless number of demigods
  6. Oh, yes. The monument's construction has been attributed to many ancient peoples throughout the years but the most captivating and enduring attribution has been to the Druids. This erroneous connection was first made around 3 centuries ago by the antiquary, John Aubrey. Julius Caesar and other Roman writers told of a Celtic priesthood who flourished around the time of their first conquest (55 BC). By this time, though, the stones had been standing for 2,000 years, and were, perhaps, already in a ruined condition. Besides, the Druids worshipped in forest temples and had no need for stone structures. The best guess seems to be that the Stonehenge was begun by the people of the late Neolithic period (around 3000BC) and carried forward by people from a new economy which was arising at this time. These people used of pottery drinking vessels, began to use metal implements and to live in a more communal fashion than their ancestors. Some think that they may have been immigrants from the continent but that contention is not supported by archaeological evidence. It is likely that they were indigenous people doing the same old things in new ways.
  7. I found some information about it. Constantine invited the bishops of all the major Pagan religions of Rome to the Council of Nicaea because he wanted to present officially Christianity like main Roman religion and give Roman Catholic Church more privileges concerning to other religions. Maybe it is true.
  8. If I could be a man and if take into account my adventurous nature I would be a pirate and made Roman's life a burden. Probably I could come to a sticky end. lol Hardly I could be a legioner or something like that because I don't like any system and like my own freedom. If I could be a woman... I'll hang first!!!
  9. I lived in Egypt eight years off and on. Of course this event was seared into my memory. I going to return to Egypt and take part in an archaeological digs next summer. I treat with one of the Europe University about it and going to interlocution with project director next week. I try to renew my knowledge about ancient Egypt and read many books about it now.
  10. I make bold to add this thread and put a table listing some of the many gods and goddesses of Egyptian mythology. The deities are listed as closely as possible to the order of their appearance in the myths, from oldest to newest.

  11. I said uncorrect... I don't know how may say rightly... but it was a problem of confirmation messages and it was solved.
  12. Most likely the secret of it was lost. Greek fire There are guess-works only but they have rights to live. Incendiary weapons were nothing new in warfare in the Mediterranean world. Naphtha, a petroleum distillate, was known in the 4th century BCE. In combat on both land and sea, petroleum, sulphur, bitumen, and resin had been used since early Christian times. But Greek fire was more insidious. It was projected upon enemy forces in the fashion of a flamethrower. Contemporary accounts frequently mention the mixture being discharged from tubes mounted on the prows of Byzantine ships. Like modern napalm, it adhered to whatever it struck, and could not be extinguished with water.
  13. Yes, I think there were differents between African legions and legions from Britain for example. I saw a picture (cannot find it now unfortunately) of Roman legioner in Britain (bas-relief). The legioner was drown in really celtic trousers and fur cape. It is unlikely that similar clothes were needed in Africa. But it was absolute necessity in Britain. I think legions had analogous equipment and colour spectrum as clothers as scutums etc.
  14. lol. I found a mistake in the game. Was done "Russia, Kharkov". But it is not Russia. It is Ukraine.
  15. If all registered members were sorted into Citizens and not Citizents and it was a question even of imperor (lol) how treat with women here which hadn't franchise in ancient Rome??? And how about pontifices? :angel:
  16. Irish Wolfhounds "By the year 391 A.D., the breed was known in Rome, when the first authentic mention of it was written by the Roman Consul Quintus Aurelius, who had received seven of them as a gift which "all Rome viewed with wonder."
  17. The first Council of Nicaea The second Counsil of Nicaea There are a lists of invited to the Councils persons.
  18. Well, say me please, Frankq, what books you read (exact name of books). I want to check it becouse I know that translation may be different or shortly. If say honesty I don't remember such antagonisms. I read as Appian as Plutarch. Thanks.
  19. Charming! Is it really celtic? or it is a nice name of breed?
