    I Have A Question....

    I have a question concerning a game.....Bingo Please bare with me........ i was watching a Peter Kay dvd (that Peter Kay thing) and one of the episodes was about Bingo and the reference was that Bingo was first palyed in ancient Rome........is this true? if so, has it changed in anyway? i'm just curious as i have never heard of it before. I looked up the history of Bingo which says: 'The game's history can be traced back to 1530, to an Italian lottery called "Lo Giuoco del Lotto D'Italia," which is still played every Saturday in Italy.' i'm just wondering if it goes back even further. Ps if this in the wrong place sorry for the inconveince

    Emperor By Conn Iggulden

    i think for anyone who nows nothing about Julius Caeser but loves a page turner book will like this book. At the back of the books there is a historical note where the author comments on how he had to turn things around and omit events to keep the 'book lovers' attention. I also don't think the book is for a historical purpose - it is a mere and i quote here "epic story of rivalry and betrayal that combines history and adventure to stunning affect". To finish off, if you read every historical novel published (about real characters) and compare it to the hard facts of history there won't be alot were you can actually finish the book for disgust. ~Caeser~ ps. some people just like those kind of books were they can be immersed into a totally different enviroment.

    Emperor By Conn Iggulden

    first off, what an amazing series! Gates of Rome (the 1st one) Starts by following Gaius(Julius Caeser) and Marcus(Brutus) as boys and sees them growing up on the estate with combat training by the Renius(Fictional character sadly) after the slave revolt a small group head off to Rome to meet with Marius Gauis' uncle as events proceed you find the two boys/teenagers come up against enemies and allies. I don't want to give the plot away but i must say i couldn't put the book down The Death of Kings.... The young Julius Caeser is serving on board a war galley, gaining a fearsome reputation. The ship is sacked and he and fellow crew mates are ransomed and then abandoned on the north African coast. After gathering a force of men he seeks for vengence on his captors and crushes the uprising in Greece and returns to Rome as a hero. He then has to fight again as there is a new crisis in the city in the form of a rebellious gladiator named Spartacus. (If this has been posted before just delete it) i haven't read Field of swords i'm waiting to get it from the library, somebody has it out already!!!!!
