i'll give it a look when I get the time.

probably valuable too, if they dated it and stuff and figured out where in the coliseum it was placed/where it was made and stuff.
-
..... Damn. Now that’s an old brick.
-
I think it was absorption. Greese was becoming part of Rome by that point, and the whole idea of City states was losing clout a good bit. Greek history isn't really my bread and butter though so I could be totally wrong about that. but looking at how Rome expanded as quickly as it did, I think that's a fair guess. Want to know something funny. I know a guy who found a brick from the Roman coliseum. like a real brick that was used in the construction. the original construction.

One thing I always wondered... how the *insert cuss of choice here* did the Romans conquer Sparta?
-
I'm 65% sure it was Sparta who lead the counter offensive. but they had support from maybe 78% of the total country. If I remember what I read right according to what we know they think the Greek army was only outnumbered 3 to 1. but I could be wrong on that.
-
That they did. Though I can’t remember who led the counter-offensive against Persia...
-
Wouldn't surprise me. seeing the extreme way those guys were trained to be warriors. and they bought the Greeks enough time to organize a full army to face the Persians down too didn't they?
-
It has been estimated that by the time the final Spartan fell, 1,000,000 sons of Persia had died with them.
