    Possibly a type of signifer, some wore wolf or bear skins (i believe Cornicens wore wolf skins) I'm not sure about leopards though.

    I'm female LOL It somewhat surprises me that Romans did not eat meat that much...veal is IMO disgusting...Though I did not know that thing about the souls of the animals...very enlightening. It wouldn't have occurred to me that the deity may draw strength from the absorbed animal's soul because, well, I believe in reincarnation so I guess I just didn't think about it.

    Centurions had the vine staff, and that funny looking red crest. They also may have worn a red cape. Optios had a helmet with a crest, but it went front to back instead of side to side.

    Just for the record, I'm what you would call a "hard polytheist" A note on the animal sacrifice thing, I think it's more important to consider not the type of thing sacrificed, but the value of it. For the Romans, sacrificing a cow or a goat or whatever was giving up something that they needed. It had great value to them and therefore was a great sacrifice. Now, it wouldn't be the same. Most people are not dependant on livestock for their lives and families. Maybe we should be sacrificing computers instead (just not Windows 95, that would anger the Gods)

    I don't believe the Gods are "all knowing" OR "all powerful" because if they WERE, wouldn't there only need to be one of them? The all work together and they do just fine As for offerings, I know some people do still practice blood sacrifice (Santaria does though they are not pagan) however I stick with milk, crackers, and flowers from my garden (the edible kind!)

    That looks really good! I'm hungry...

    It's amazing how much "history" is a projection of what people want to see... I believe that there were both types of gladiators, the fit well muscled types and the...thicker...variety. Although I highly doubt any of them made it to sumo wrestler size. It makes sense as well not only because of the sword wounds, but also because many of them ended up wrestling to finish a fight, and as anyone who's ever been in a wrestling match will tell you weight is definitely an advantage (I've been squashed underneath someone many times in matches).

    The Amazon general I've gotten a better picture...edited the colors so it looks more like the original (I hope) and I've worked a bit on the shading. Hope that last thing was an improvement.

    I really don't think it did. In Rome, at least, it was one of those things that happened, but wich wasn't terribly well...accepted in society. I think it's pretty safe to assume that a situation such as homosexual "marriage" or "domestic partners" was pretty much out of the question.

    Thanks I'm thinking I should have taken it easy this year since I'm not going to collage...taken bio or psych.

    Lost_Warrior replied to Germanicus's topic in Colosseum

    It's fun to pick out the historical inaccuracies (but it's not very challenging)

    Being the "woman" in a partnership was the "inferior" position (in a homosexual male relationship that was being on the bottom).

    My Back Yard

    My Back Yard
    There are deer in my yard occasionally, coyotes and bears around but no wolves (and not in my yard). There's also a few bobcats.

    I have a review but it's *really* short, less than a page (reason being it was originally an English project, and that was the assignment.) would anyone like to see it?
  19. Lost_Warrior
    There was also "goat licking"....that's an interesting one...basically they applied honey or such to a man's bare genitals, tied them up and...turned a goat loose on them. Yea. um... There were actually many creative methods of torture...and slow deaths...I used to know where a big list with descriptions could be found, but I don't know now. I'll have to look it up.

    A cat'o nine tails. It hooked in the skin and as it was dragged back, it tore the skin away.

    Yea, I think I've seen it. I love his painting of the crucifixion, its my favorite.

    Lol being Latin, I think it's all confusing but once I figure it out I really like it. I LOVE the Temple forum being a Temple of Juppiter (but then, I'm rather fond of Juppiter hehe)
  23. Lost_Warrior
    I like it though it made me go "what the hen?" momentarily.

    And don't forget almost every Egyptian pharoh as well as the European kings and queens who ruled by "divine right" LOL yea, I think he probably did that as a joke. In many places (though I don't think in Rome) sea shells were in fact used as currency. In some places they still are. (cowrie shells is the best example) That probably didn't happen.

    Reminds me of Salvador Dali. I don't like most of his work, but a few of his pictures are really awesome.
