Tetrarchy?
I've read that "tetrarchy" is a calvary unit formed by 60 horsemen. Isn't a tetrarchy supposed to be a form of goverment in which the territory is divided into four? Does any of the primary sources use that term to refer to the calvary? Or any famous historian? If so, which is the original...

The figurine purported to be Cassander also has sort of a strange, serpentine looking neck. It is known that kids can inherit their parent's habits. As for Cassander and...

Alexander didnt have a twisted neck. He just had a habbit of leaning his head towards the right from time to time. And this habit is really common, I also do it for example, and many people. So I couldn't help laughing when I read that :lol: And I'm sure Philip considered Alexander his successor, h...

You are my hero

I applaud you, as well as the immense majority, for being brave, and doing the right thing without thinking of the consequences, which for me, are good. I requested other moderators to delete this and sinc...

Re: Oh dear dear me.
I admit (mea culpa!) that I meant to stir things up a little, but not like this! In regard to the pothos rules, I wonder if referring to homosexuals as "freaks of nature" would fall under "inappropriate language"...? I wonder also if the service which hosts the forum has terms o...

Hello, with all due respect to Oliver Stone and his movie, how many times are they going to revisit it?(there still could be several more, Ruthaki, so I would hang on a month or two, just in case) OK he made the film and that is it, so basically what he is selling is the same movie but with a new p...
