Year 53:
Roman emperor Claudius removes Agrippa II from the tetrarchy of Chalcis.

Claudius secures a Senatorial decree which gives jurisdiction in financial cases to imperial procurators. This marked a significant strengthening of imperial powers at the expense of the Senate.

Nero marries Octavia.

Claudius accepts Nero as his successor to the detriment of Britannicus, his son by his first wife, Messalina. (Another bad career move, which would eventually prove to be fatal!!

)

EDIT - well, i seem to have mistimed that one.

Year 54:

October 13 -

Roman emperor Claudius dies, possibly after being poisoned by Agrippina, his wife and niece, and is succeeded by Nero. (Tacitus gives an interesting account of this... the doctor called in to treat a reported first poisoning attempt was in on the plot, and supposedly tried to induce vomiting... by sticking a poisoned feather down the throat of the Emperor).

Nero tries to prohibit the Gladiatorial games.

Maiden Castle in Dorset is captured from the Celtic Durotriges by Vespasian. *

Under Nero, Rome annexes Aden to protect the maritime route between Alexandria and Asia.

Two centurions are sent to the south of Egypt to find the sources of the Nile, and possible new provinces. They report that while there are many cities in the desert, the area seems too poor to be worthy of conquest.

Violence erupts in Caesarea regarding the a local ordinance restricting the civil rights of Jews, creating clashes between Jews and pagans. The Roman garrison, made up of Syrians, takes the side of the pagans. The Jews, armed with clubs and swords, meet in the marketplace. The Governor of Judaea, Antonius Felix orders his troops to charge. The violence continues and Felix asks Nero to arbitrate. Nero, sides with the pagans and relegates the Jews to second-class citizens. This decision does nothing but increase the Jews' anger.

Judea is returned piecemeal to Agrippa I's son Marcus Julius Agrippa between 48 and 54.

*EDIT - maybe it was. Maiden Castle, near Dorchester, isn't a traditional castle, but rather a hill fort. "Mortimer Wheeler created a vivid account of the fall of the hill fort in his report following the excavations of 1934-1937. Later examination of his records by Niall Sharples has largely discounted this interpretation and it is no longer thought that the fort was besieged or violently taken by the Romans."

I have a turn to play, and a bit of time before round two of chores to play it.

Life is good.

There is a transport that starts at Cairns I think that when I click on it, the game crashes...usually that means a missing bitmap. Anyone know which one it is? I figured I'd ask before I went through the reload of the game and crash it again?

There is no factual evidence that supports the notion that Nik is related to Mr. Potato Head.

I think we have proven in the past that we can win. We cut down a lot quicker than you grow back.
