Salvete Omnes!

Happy birthday Caesar! Monday next, the 12th of July (ante diem quartum Idus Iulias) will be the 2110th Anniversary of the great mans birth. Legion Ireland will be holding a small ceremony to celebrate...Ave Caesar! Ave! Ave! Ave!

Byron.

I think you mean Pliny the elder who was in charge of the fleet at Misenum.

I stand corrected....

Now i can rant unihibited...as I have never read much of Livy, so he must be a Pompey supporter... :lol:

And my apologies to Pliny the elder.....

I found it most interesting when I first went to Rome to find that people still yet put flowers on the grave of Caesar.

he was a great roman.
"The Kaiser knows the Munsters,
by the Shamrock on their caps,
And the famous Bengal Tiger, ever ready for a scrap,
And all his big battalions, Prussian Guards and grenadiers,
Fear to face the flashing bayonets of the Munster Fusiliers."
