Ancient stuff is cool. In another millenium they’ll be digging up sex toys and wondering what the heck people were thinking.

I read a partially fictionalized account of the “poison king” in which he kept trying to defeat the Roman Empire. With each attempt, he learned a little more about Roman tactics and eventually came to duplicate them himself. He became Rome’s most feared adversary until his rule was usurped and he tried to commit suicide but failed due to his immunity to poison.

The naval battle scene in Ben-Hur comes to mind. Ramming speed!

A previous find. One which stirs the imagination.
