I'm lucky enough to have one of those rings!
Fascinating link!

I don't know, but she's beautiful!!!

Wow....the soundtrack is awesome, so is the imagery. Actually that looks seriously cool.
Of course, I immediately thought of this...

Thanks guys!!!
Looks like we're finally getting a break in the snow, lol I wound up off work today because of the snow.

Why am I not surprised?
Those pesky Romans...No morals. Sheesh.
I knew there was a reason I liked 'em.

Hey Pan!!! Glad to see you're still alive and kicking!

It would only make sense that, as the empire grew, the army began to include members of conquered races.
I think that a bigger problem was likely the breakdown of the leadership of Rome as a whole- leading to less effective management and leadership of the legions and therefore allowing for a weakening of defense and inevitable breakdown of the legions and eventually, the empire.

I believe, though I'm not positive, that post counting is turned off in the "off topic" forums? Or am I thinking of a different board?

Gluteus Maximus.
ROTFLMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would use the name Lucia. I just like the name.

That's awesome!!! I'll have to go back through and read to catch up, lol.

I've never heard of specific units of left- handed soldiers. I wouldn't think that the numbers of Lefty's would be great enough to warrant such an endeavor, and even if they did, I don't think it would be of much use.
OT to Nephele: LOVE your new banner!

ROTFLMFAO!!!!!
Also, I don't think that photo is of a crow, but a raven.

LOL!!!!!!
Although I must say I can see this happening to anyone, texting or not. Maybe I'm just especially clumsy, but I can see it happening if you don't happen to be looking at the ground while you're walking.

If you look at the "related videos" and "more from this member" there are more videos of the Lyre (some with spoken word poetry which, while probably quite authentic, really does make my hair stand on end. LOL)

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This isn't Roman but I stumbled across it a while ago...
I personally think it's one of the ugliest sounding instruments I've ever heard...but with good composition it kind of works.

As for the handshake, I had actually heard the opposite: that the right-hand handshake was adopted specifically because it required one to lay down their weapons.
-
Your attention to detail is exquisite.
And you're quite good at drawing hands, I might add. I never get them right.
-
I suppose you mean we agree; in general terms, lefties are used to fight "opposite handed" opponents and righties aren't, from a purely statistical effect.
Something like that.
As far as modern examples of training a lefty to be a righty goes - may I mention violinists?Now think about it. Imagine a left-handed chap in the first violins in an orchestra - ouch, my eye!
LOL I never thought of that!
-
Advantage is basically in raw numbers (especially for fast sports); lefties are perfectly used to playing right-handers but for right-handers, a left-handed opponent is a very tricky exception.
Yep. And when you're fighting, if both opponents are right handed and one guy throws a punch (for example) with his right hand, your left hand is on the same side for an effective block while still leaving your right hand free for a counter attack.
If one is a righty and one is a lefty? Both are attacking on the same side- making blocks and counterattacks awkward if you're not used to fighting someone who's "opposite handed".
-
A left-handed fighter might have the advantage of being used to fight right-handed opponents because most of his training comrades must have been right-handed while a right-handed fighter might be surprised when suddenly being paired against a south-paw.
Agreed 110% with that- anyone who has been in any form of combat can probably understand why. In one-to-one combat, left handedness would be a distinct advantage (in formation, not so much.) True, a left hander has the exact same difficulty fighting a right handed fighter, as the right handed fighter has with the lefty. The difference is in the training.
-
Oh wow! I'm very impressed!
-
I think he got the nickname because he *became* 'left handed' by losing use of his right?
