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...
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...

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...
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...
