[Ancient Romans Preferred Fast Food]

Have it your way at Burger Caesar!

[Man drives down Rome tourist treasure]

Interesting to see that this stuff happens all over. It seems every so often someone drives into a monument (drunk or otherwise) at the Gettysburg battlefield here in PA. Knuckleheads...

[what part of the army would you be in?]

An Armicustos (quartermaster). Given my real world profession (accountant), it just seems to fit.

Welcome Kyle

 

If you stick around long enough your knowledge of all things Roman will just keep getting better and better and before long you'll be a regular face at one of the Doc's sordid parties!

 

Sounds like fun....Bring on the wine!!!

[Veracity Of Hbos Rome]

I just watched the first two episodes of Season 1 (bought the box set) & I was wondering about the scene after Titus Pullo gets busted up in the bar fight. The doctor comes & takes a piece of his skull out, removes some pieces of whatever he got hit with, then attaches a metal plate to his skull. That seems like some pretty advanced medicine. Was that possible in BC Rome?

['Ancient Rome on Five Denarii a Day']

I picked this book up at my local Borders just by dumb luck. I was looking for any books I could find Rome & found this one hiding among all the huge books. It didn't take long to get through it since I never put it down!! Great book for someone like me who is just learning about Roman history.

[Welcome and Introduce Yourself Here]

Hello all! I'm Kyle....after lurking for a week or two, I finally decided to join. I've only just begun my interest in The Roman Empire, so I'm not near as knowledgeable as a lot of the people around here. I've found this site to be a great help in my quest to learn about everything Rome. Plus it's a good way to burn up a lot of time while I'm at work .

 

I'll see you all around!
