I saw a History channel show about the conquest of Gaul, the Romans would be seen as evil today.

Reminds me of the “Asterix and Obelix” comic books... those were fun.

Paving stones are important to the curb appeal of a home. The shoe nail needs to go.......sand would work better. I’m going to go out on a limb here, sunkenciv, but I estimate that a young barbarian couple would be willing to pay........20 cows for this charming rancher that really shows pride of ownership!

Great PX they got there at that Roman military camp.....

“Whaddya got to drink?”

“Shoe nails.”

“Better’n rocks, I guess. Gimme a six-pack of shoe nails.”
