Thanks BruceDeitrickPrice.
At this point, we all need to be reminded of what History was always about for many thousands of years: Quests. Victories. Defeats. Excellence. Death. Egos. Genius. Battles. Greatness. Insanity. Business. Law. Art. Family. Government. Luck. Military campaigns. Heroes. Disease. Monuments. Crime. Tragedies. Plots. Romance. Religion. Engineering feats. Politics. Duty. Sacrifice. Honor. Human behavior both ordinary and under pressure. Great personalities. Inventions. Glory. Suicide. Philosophy.
This isn't about the HBO series "Rome", which is NOT a kid-safe program BTW. I saw a DVD of season one of a Starz series called "Spartacus" -- anyone seen that program? Thanks.

To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.

All that? I thought it was who did what to whom, when, and how in the great struggle of the Proletariat against whatever the Imperialist Hegemony was in any particular era.

I'd swear that's what my college history profs were always pounding into us.

Partly because the Romans themselves weren’t kid-safe. To-ga! To-ga! To-ga!
