Yesterday. An historian was been interviewed. He was dong a programe About Ghenghis Khan. And the first thing he said was that his empire was 4 times that of Alexander the Great. So I got my books out and read about him. I came to a related conclusion with Logistics for large armies. When He took t...

Re: Olympius Jelousy ?

Lake look at the Lissipus statue. the one in the louvre. Then look at Decaprio. Its the same guy. Really?? I think Di Caprio's little nose doesn't look like Alexander's, nor he has a greek profile. The face on the Azara Herm is that of a man, not of a boy, for me :wink: If I have to say an actor wh...

No, no and no

I'm sorry, but I can't see Leonardo playing Alexander. Ok, I've never liked this actor, and this can influence my opinions, but I think it's not a good choice. Baz Lurhman always employs his friends in his movies: Nicole Kidman (Moulin Rouge), Leo (Romeo & Juliet) and so on. But I don't believe ...

Re: a gay icon again.

I don't like that description either as no serious male in history has ever emulated him, believing that he was a practicing sodomist. What on earth is that supposed to mean, Jan? ATB Better not to comment on what that it is supposed to mean, Marcus... shame on her... now she writes homophobic stat...
