7288	Welcome to the Imperial Rome group where we discuss just about anything to do with Rome and the cultures that surround her. I hope that you will want to join...	Richard gauiscaecilius	Mar 1, 2003 9:09 am
7289	Let's first go back to the written-sources about this last-one of the Western-Roman Emperors; (ruling from Oct. 31st 475, untill August 31st 476): In my...	jachthondus	Mar 1, 2003 1:43 pm

7291	After now having pointed-out the sort-of "Historical-goings-on" of this young-Emperor Romulus Augustulus: I bet, that this film will turn-out to be another...	jachthondus	Mar 1, 2003 3:44 pm
7292	I've never come across any source questioning that the boy's name was Romulus. What may make it all the more plausible was that Orestes married a Roman...	khakiberetman	Mar 1, 2003 4:52 pm
7293	Actually ...that wouldn't be surprising. Insanity doesn't imply a lack of intelligence ...or charm, at least when things are wired correctly, and the brain...	Hathaway Shoshana shoshanah@...	Mar 1, 2003 5:16 pm
7294	No ...what they are planning now is to require a background check on anyone who flies in an airplane. Talk about a fishing expedition! And I'm sure Sulla...	Hathaway Shoshana shoshanah@...	Mar 1, 2003 5:36 pm
7295	Oh dear ...only one wish??????? Hmmm ...now how can I get this into one wish? OK ...I'd want to see Byzantium ...and during that extensive tour ...I'd want...	Hathaway Shoshana shoshanah@...	Mar 1, 2003 6:11 pm
7296	Into my eyes it looks as a sort of "weird-and sad", that this Last- Emperor had to start-off with these TWO NAMES, which were known to have been the "alpha and...	jachthondus	Mar 1, 2003 6:15 pm
7297	Hello Damascena, How nice it would be: We-together walking the Via-Sacra from the Capitol-Hill to the Forum-Romanum, going to listen Cicero speaking on the...	jachthondus	Mar 1, 2003 6:41 pm
7298	Honestly, I don't know Jach... when he was born, ca 461-2, there was no telling that his father might be able to seize power yet! But , for the omen-loving...	khakiberetman	Mar 1, 2003 7:13 pm
7299	A bit off topic but... Interestingly enough the phrase 'gung-ho', which in english means extreme enthusiasm- usually for war or fighting- was apparently ...	ianmcl2000	Mar 1, 2003 11:40 pm
7300	Thanks for that Ian, as I didn't know the origin. I was a little nervous in using the phrase knowing how many non-native English speakers might not have copme...	Richard White gauiscaecilius	Mar 2, 2003 7:54 am
7301	Salve Jach, "Augustulus" was not a given name of the last Emperor - it was a derisive epithet bestowed on the boy-emperor by the Roman people. "Augustus" was a...	Christopher L. Wood ambrosius_sl...	Mar 2, 2003 10:06 am
7302	Thanks Ian, for explaining the term "gung-ho"! (I just wanted to ask you about it's exact-meaning, although it's quite clearly understood as expressing...	jachthondus	Mar 2, 2003 10:17 am
7303	I had heard the expression was adopted by the US Marines who intervened against the Boxer Rebellion in 1900... and that it was a war-cry shared by either of...	khakiberetman	Mar 2, 2003 10:46 am
7304	Hello Christopher, Thanks a lot for your reaction! I certainly am aware of the fact, that the title "Augustus" always has been seen as a sort-of...	jachthondus	Mar 2, 2003 10:58 am
7305	Certainly the meaning has changed as only the most exteme of "Gung ho" warriors would be happy to be described that way now....	Richard gauiscaecilius	Mar 2, 2003 12:41 pm
7306	I am currently in the U6th at my school and will be sitting my A- levels in the Summer. I study Classical Civilisation, Latin, Music and Ancient Greek (GCSE)....	lakes_85	Mar 2, 2003 2:38 pm
7307	Am I wrong or not but I think "gung ho" is pronounced, in mandarin, "oooongggg aaaahhhh"? ... of "Gung ... who ... was ... Airforce ... apparently...	khakiberetman	Mar 2, 2003 2:42 pm
7308	What I found was the saddest in this newspaper column was not so much the dismissal of classics (after all one is free to have different tastes) but the very...	khakiberetman	Mar 2, 2003 2:54 pm
7309	I have just added the final few photos taken in Chester (Deva). These include two of the most interesting in my opinion. One is the one remaining section of...	Richard gauiscaecilius	Mar 2, 2003 2:56 pm
7310	How about installing a webcam with sound near the rostra? The only problem is we would all be fighting over the controls. ... into one ... tour ... Romans...	Richard gauiscaecilius	Mar 2, 2003 3:10 pm

7312	Well thats what we need a genie for! Whilst we are at wishes the webcam will be movable in space and time so we can move it from the Rostra to the Domus Aureum...	Richard gauiscaecilius	Mar 2, 2003 6:20 pm
7313	Hello dear "Lakes_85", You are ever so right! Also in the time that I studied History, (in the 60th), the students in Classic-Languages were seen as...	jachthondus	Mar 2, 2003 7:14 pm
7314	May I ask the "Assembled-Comittee" what Lololololololol does mean? Does it have to do with "laughing"? Jach....	jachthondus	Mar 2, 2003 7:23 pm
