  1. There's really no need to do the Roman tie in as long as it's here in - Hora Postilla Thermae.
  2. I find in Australia at least the only people defending it are those poor damaged, but much admired souls, our fathers and grandfathers, who have been the victims of torture during war.
  3. From Plutarch for what it's worth. Seems to include Dacia in his grand plan, although Plutartch doesn't mention it by that name.
  4. He did also have plans for Dacia Phil, but yes, it would appear Parthia was first on his hit list.
  5. . When it effects UNRV, your alternative sounds very reasonable Phil.
  6. Fame, or infamy or both. Who knows what goes on in some peoples heads.
  7. Another great one of recent times from Australia, was Queenlands re-naming of the Victorian "Fairy Penguin" to "Little Penguin", to avoid offending the gay community. (The gay community thought the change rediculous) - here's an article
  8. In Plutarch, and probably in Sullas own memoirs now lost, he mentions finding an incapacitated faun like half man half goat just prior to his second march on Rome. It can only bable nonsense and Sulla has it removed from his sight. It's seen as some sort of omen (by his men a negative one) but Sulla usually made all omens positive - hence Felix.
  9. Thanks for putting those in your gallery Neil, they are excellent.
  10. I guess she wouldn't be in to "Nasty" either.
  11. No worries - It was a good read, and I must say certain things I once thought I knew prior to reading it have altered somewhat. You probably began that process actually, so thankyou. I do need to read Cicero though.
  12. Sertorius ? Certainly not motivation or personality wise, but a rebel insurgent leader betrayed by one of his own none the less ?

    A foggy night

    Zero Degrees and foggy, and I'm out on the street taking a photo.
  15. I find it best if you speak none of her language and she speaks no english, you're both forced to learn.
  16. I'd go with your initial thought Primus - Date Rape/Sexual abuse/Internet related.
  17. Having travelled to South Korea for work in the past, their hatred for the Japanese is certainly undiminished.
  18. My grandfather, a WWII veteran from New Guinea won't talk about the war.
  19. I think your separate folder idea could be a good one Ursus...At the moment it's called tartarus.
  20. How often are World cup games decided on a penalty shoot out ?
  21. And the thread would get locked immediatly anyway.
  22. I tend to get depressed these days if I sit down and watch the news, or a political commentary. At the moment it's only when a person feels the pain of what is the result of their apathy that they decide to do something about it, and sadly that is so often too late.
  23. Lucy in the sky with Diamonds in the US (Elton John Version !!!) Lonely this Christmas by Mud in the UK (never heard of this one)
  24. Clearly he has considered them, and rejected them. But you agree that both are subjective view points. I think that both these statements:- Can exsist side by side. Is a ruler who wants to be a hellenstic monarch and display the absolutist nature(if that's what one wants to accept) of his rulership not vain ?
