ASCLEPIADES Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 (edited) Salve, G Gulf of Aden Pirates Sorry, no active link. Maybe you were talking about Farah Abd Jameh and his group, who hijacked an oil-laden Saudi Arabian supertanker hijacked off the coast of SOMALIA. BTW, I would rather recommend an Agrippa; Cn. Pompeius Magnus basically just relocated the Cilician pirates as his clients. Some of them and/or their descendents were undoubtedly among the Sicilian pirates under Pompeius' son Sextus; and most of them were eventually exterminated by Marcus Agrippa.

ASCLEPIADES Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Nice link, DD Speaking of pirates, here's a cool little feature on time.com. Top 10 Audacious Acts of Piracy. I will never understand the scoring system of these "top ten": Kidnapping CJ Caesat in 75 BC when he was just... (well, nobody) made it to the "top ten"... but the Ostian Raid of 68 BC didn't!
