Everything you need to know to understand ancient history you can learn from the following words.

paria udonum ab Sattua solearum duo et subligariorum duo

They are from a letter sent with a package froma mother in Rome to her son recently stationed at Hadrians wall. They detail the contents of the package. 

Socks, two pairs of sandals and two pairs of underpants.
 

And only a day late.

Sunday 1pm, Te Manawa Museum, some street or other, its next to the book place off the square. I dunno, ask a cop if you can find one.

I’m making my play for the most arse numbingly dull presentation of the year award with a one hour talk about catapults, flinging rockes, smashing stuff, throwing arrows 300 meters, stuff like that.

Donations are invited.
Wood for trebuchet                           $500
Custom milled throwing arm            $150
Patonk set from Trademe                  $15

Smashing a wall with a steel
ball on the first throw                  Priceless!

Must stop writting essays on the “because I felt like it” principle.

If anyone wants to know why Roman naval warfare is more like early 20th century naval warfare than any other period, the essay will be here shortly - after I finish explaining why I wrote it to the lecturer.

(Because “the book” was wrong is apprently an incorrect answer.)

For the person looking for US Marines buried in New Zealand your best bet might be the US Embassy in Wellington.

why stop “talking” to him and kick the crap out of the little fuck? It’s just a question.

It’s the only shot at any kind of justice that we’ll see with the these hug a killer revolving door prison wankers we’ve got running this mess.
