Artimi

this is really interesting. hope they publish some translations:)

Just in case we can post videos... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rj47M64_4Vw...feature=related

I have been listening and watching the videos posted AW (of course from youtube). would it be appropriate to post music videos here? There are some songs that many years later still bring tears flowing, whether tears of hope or sadness.

I keep reading the thread, wishing I could come, but alas, not financially possible. Any of the places suggested would wonderful to me.

Has any one read this book? The hardcopy is pretty pricey in CAD. But I love hardcover books.. Here is an interview with the author (MP3) by The Guardian. thanks, the audio wasnt available, but the article reinforced my decision to add it to my wish list:)

Has any one read this book? The hardcopy is pretty pricey in CAD. But I love hardcover books.. Artimi - this looks terrific. Added it to my Amazon Wish List last week, but not available in the US until Summer '10. OY! You could always order it form amazon.ca or amazon.uk:)

Happy Birthday JGolomb Enjoy:)

From Amazon.ca

Oh Great Caesar, I will ponder your words with great seriousness

all I can say is Wow. The review brought back the book to me in mood and emotion. thank you JGolomb The Breem book deserves a reread.

cute rodent, but my cat is the same size I think. he is now down to 30 pounds

Crispina, that is quite a hefty charge in my books. I rarely use the library, I ended up with fines, even with option of renewing on line. Also you dont know where that library book has been I restarted reading Goldsworthy's book on the fall of the Roman empire. He writing almost reads itself.

I have tried to read this book a couple of times. I felt Bryan Ward-Perkins book: The Fall of Rome and the end of civilization, had more to offer, more concisely.

I just received Barbero's in the mail. Online bookstores are way to easy to use. Looking forward to reading it. I seem to be reading more about the later empire than I used. Artimi - let me know what you think. And as you're reading, check out the postings on the "barberization" of the roman army. The book is highly relevant to that discussion. I finished the book.. The train wreck happened according to schedule and the surviving passengers climbed aboard the next train, not realizing it too would end in wreckage. this book is relevant to 2 topics: Barbarization of the army and the new topic Justinian vs Theodoric. I will try to sort the ideas in mind and see if I can put them in 'scholarly' comments in the relevant topics.. Also I think in my own weird way this also ties in with that wonderful Breem book.

I am fairly new to UNRV, but an senior citizen at Ancient Worlds(was at Ancient Sites almost at it inception). This thread, especially the last few posts reminds of conversations with the Golden Oldies (the ones that remember AS in the beginning). Everything ages and changes even Internet sites.

My problem with books I figure I will keep and reread ---- I want new.. stupid huh?

How far back does history go? How far back is responsibility?

yes you can! I will order books from Chapters-Indigo rather than Amazon.ca. prices are similar, (I know selection is larger in Amazon), but service and delivery times are better with Chapters. at least in Canada. btw the book you speak of, at both online stores is only in hardcover and about 18 CAD . You will have to tell me if it is worth a peak.

Hilarious, and I dont like Monty Python.. (no throwing of dead parrots etc.)

http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/books/Marcus...nk+Mclynn%2527.. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/030...nrvromanempi-20 Is there any significant difference between these 2 books besides title, publish date? The description for both is same at Chapters-Indigo.

There is a site called Before You Know It. It is a less expensive Rosetta type thing They had a sampler for Latin. It is a strictly vocabulary sampler. I am finding it is a good way to use some study time before the other books arrive. My downfall with any language I have tried to learn, is vocabulary, grammar and spelling. Hey that covers everything, should tell me something...

Duct tape is a wonderful thing to have around the home. Fixes everything If you can find it on line, check out a Canadian tv series, RedGreen.. wonderful dry Canadian humour and shows some very ingenious uses of Duct tape.
