80 BC

Battle of the Baetis River - Democratic rebel forces under Quintus Sertorius defeat the legal Roman forces of Lucius Fulfidias in Spain, starting the Sertorian War, Quintus Metellus Pius takes command on behalf of Sulla.

Ptolemy XII Auletes succeeds Ptolemy XI Alexandros II to the throne of Egypt.
Alexandria comes under Roman jurisdiction.

Meleager publishes his Garland, the earliest known anthology of Greek poetry.

The Antikythera mechanism, a complex bronze orrery (astronomical computing machine) of great accuracy, based on an intricate system of 24 gears and 13 axles, is built. It contains the first known differential gear and has sometimes been called the first computer. Its existence was revealed in 1901 when it was found by Greek sponge divers in a wreck off the island of Antikythera, although it was not explained until 75 years later by Derek de Solla Price. See also 1900 ce Tools.

Gaius Sergius Orata begins to purchase neglected villas and to install a version of his home heating system, called the hypocausum. The system uses a series of tanks propped up on short brick posts; a fire on one side of each tank warms it, and hot air from the tank circulates beneath the floors, warming the house. Orata also invents the balnae pensiles, raised bathrooms that are heated by means of ducts under the floor. He then resells the villas for vastly more than they cost him to acquire and modify. Similar systems are soon installed at public baths throughout Italy, but Orata is sued by his customers for "price gouging."

Year 80:

The Emperor Titus inaugurates the Flavian Amphitheatre with 100 days of games.

The earliest stage of Lullingstone Roman villa is built (approximate date).

The Roman occupation of Britain reaches the River Tyne-Solway Firth frontier area (approximate date).

The original Roman Pantheon is destroyed in a fire, together with many other buildings.

The Eifel Aqueduct is constructed to bring water 95 km (60 miles) from the Eifel region to Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensum (modern Cologne).

The first African enters the Roman Senate.

Invention of the aeolipile, the first steam engine, by Hero of Alexandria. (This turbine was built to prove a philosophical point, not as any real engine. Most articles will state it was built as a "diversion" or a "toy", but it was not.)

Later "philosophers" will opine: "What home is complete without a genuine, operating aeolipile? If you haven't gotten an aeolipile by now, send for one right away. After you've received and used it, you will say, 'How did I get along for such a long time without an aeolipile?' Aeolipiles can be used by the whole family. Show them that you too have an aeolipile. Imagine the surprise on the faces of your friends when, in the middle of nowhere, you whip out your brand-new aeolipile. Wow. The girls will really admire you when they hear that you have an aeolipile."

OK - here's a good one - i got a flurry of e-mail notices how they wanted me to do 25 cases from another lab "first thing in the morning" - then they retracted it, and said i was to do half...

So, about 3 hours now into my day - they finally bring me my "split" - 21 cases...

I agree. A very good game. I do find it fairly challenging though even on 'normal' level. You need to expand as fast as you can without preventing your economy from growing. I've never finished a game.........

Its fun to play, althought not as engaging as the previous games.

I haven't "finished" it either. Got close a few times.

Finished it on normaly as scotland and as austria. was on the way to finishing it as england and got bored. It seems like once you get your jugernaught going its pretty hard for them to stop you. I am waiting for pike and muskett 2 the mod to come out it looks good. That and i am interested in a group of guys that used to do mods for that series that have now gone off and formed their own game studio and are doing a napoleonic game.
