\'Barbarians\' - a review of tonight\'s - Tarbicus - 06-09-2006 From the UK's Radio Times, a review of tonight's episode: Quote: 3/4 - The Brainy Barbarians Re: \'Barbarians\' - a review of tonight\'s - Narukami - 06-09-2006 "the barbarians of Greece and Persia" Interesting... In fact: "...the Parthians commanded deference, the only outside civilisation with which Rome had direct contact and the only neighbour of whom they never used the word barbaricum. Above all they were respected as enemies: Those smash-and-grab peoples, who have been such a bane to us, I would count rather as thieves than enemies. Alone among men the Parthian bears the name of 'enemy of the Roman people' in a manner we must never hold in contempt; as is well illustrated by the defeats of Crassus and Mark Antony..." from Derek Williams in his book The Reach Of Rome quoting a letter from Cornelius Fronto to Lucius Verus (AD 165) Correspondence, 7. Once again Mr. Jones follows the 1st Rule Of Show Business: Never let the facts stand in the way of a good story. :wink: Narukami Re: \'Barbarians\' - a review of tonight\'s - Arthes - 06-09-2006 Quote:a godless rabble of swarthy bruisers in tiny skirtsI beg your pardon, I hope the Macedonians are not included in that description.......... :evil: :evil: swarthy bruisers in tiny skirts - maybe..... :roll: D Re: \'Barbarians\' - a review of tonight\'s - Robert Vermaat - 06-09-2006 Check http://www.romanarmy.com/rat/viewtopic. ... 2&start=20 for the latest reviews.
