The purpose of the Late Roman Draco standard.
#51
No Mark, I don't think you have mistranslated it at all TBH but I do like to make doubly sure that the translator hasn't taken the easy way out and not looked at the semantics of the words or those associated with it. I'm pretty sad really...I can spend hours re-translating pieces of text, particularly when I am desperate for the ancient sources to support my arguments! LOL :wink:

It doesn't always throw up new ideas but it has helped me in the past.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!
