That's the heart of the matter when people try to spout the lie that "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter."� All crap!�

Freedom fighters don't ever deliberately target civilians.�

Problem is, its going to get a whole load worse before it gets any better.

Sad but true, Bob, sad but true.

Year 48:

Consuls are Aulus Vitellius Germanicus and Lucius Vipstanus Publicola Messalla

The emperor Claudius invests Agrippa II with the office of superintendent of the Temple in Jerusalem.

After the execution of his wife Messalina, Claudius gets Senatorial approval to marry his niece, Agrippina.

Vitellius is a Roman Consul.

The Silures, with the help of Caratacus, revolt against the Romans in Britain.

Gallic nobles are admitted to the Roman Senate. Claudius grants the rights of citizenship to the Aedui.

The Hsiung-nu empire dissolves.

The emperor of China, Guang Wudi (Kouang Wou-Ti), restores Chinese domination of Inner Mongolia. The Xiongnu are made confederates and guard the Northern border of the empire.

The Annals of Tacitus covers a period of history that the Thread is about to traverse - starting with the death of Augustus and on, written by a guy who lived through the time... so i might be able to add a little more color to the history...

Will someone please make a post, so I will no longer be tempted to make an off color comment about The Anals of Tacitus?

That's the reason I haven't posted. I cannot be trusted to make a sensible post as long as there is the chance for a cheap laugh

Now that someone has got the inevitable out of the way I can feel free to post again

I guess events were only recorded in the annals if there was an opening.

On the other hand, maybe it is the "shill" effect! i see this happen all the time... i.e. you are in a grocery store... no one at the check out counter... you go to the check out counter... within minutes, the counters are 10 deep in people checking out...
