Just picked up First Man in Rome from the library. Thanks again for the suggestion. For other (lighter) Roman-themed historical fictions, there are two somewhat similar series of mystery stories. One, by Lindsey Davis (first book is "Silver Pigs") and one by Steven Saylor (first book is "Roman Blood"). You might find them worth a read. And all free through the LA County Library.

Repped right back. Cheers.

Thanks for the rep.
Disagreeing is part of the fun here, isn't it?

Thanks for the rep. It's good to know somebody's reading.

Sweep the leg?

Hi!

what up dude!

Sadly, the stalking story I told in the thread is very true. I had to deal with those 2 nutcases ranging over more than a 2 year period.

Whether its very convincing evidence of Lieweke acknowledging a $15m bid,or not I don't know. You said you read thru the thread and didn't believe it... I said I read it and I found it and posted it....there would be no reason to lie . so why would I?

I'm sure none of us know the real story and I doubt any of us will ever know what was really offered , how much was offered and if there is a deadline or not. All over Italy they keep saying on Italian language TV and news they have until 3/9....here in LA they say it was 2/13 ...so do we really know if anything is true or if the figure is 3, 10 or 15 is for real or what? I doubt any of us know the real truth and I doubt we will either.....
