Quote: I'm very interested in the Roman Games and stuff and am watching "The Colesseum" tonight, about a guy that goes from a slave, to a great gladiator, so I just wanted to learn some things about Rome before I watched the movie. If you want you can keep the info. coming in, it's very interesting.  Anyone notice that that story has been made into 6 or 7 movies already? Gladiator, The Colesseum, etc. _______________ I must not fear . Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear .

Agreed. Check out John Allen Paulos' A History of Pi for some no-holds-barred commentary on the Roman Empire (and later in the book, the Soviet Empire). But a lot of interesting things happened during Rome's long history. A separate Greek thread would be cool. I actually studied classical Greek for a couple terms in college. Check out The Roman Record. Your library probably has it or can get it via inter-library loan. I have my own copy. _______________ My signature is only one line. You're welcome. |

Why the Romans? The Greek are much more fascinating The Romans just copied and militarized  |

If you ever turn on C-SPAN and think, "My Gawd, watching Congress in session is indistinguishable from watching Jerry Springer, pick up The Annals of Imperial Rome by Tacitus. He gives first-hand accounts of the Senate in session that should dispell any doubt that human nature is the same in all times and places. Nothing has changed. _______________ My signature is only one line. You're welcome. |

If you really want to learn some roman history read some of Plutarch's work especially the Makers of Rome and the Fall of the Roman Empire. My favorites so far are Fabious Maximus and Marcellus and their on going battles with Hannibal.
