The Pony Express was very cool, a relay of young men riding horses over 1000 miles to connect the US Pacific Coast with the Mississippi River Valley and the Eastern Seaboard. It was in use while the Transcontinental Telegraph was being built, so it was needed to cover a section of the country that at that time did not have access to telegraph stations, and the regular mail service was measured in weeks, not days. But I know you already knew that didn't you, Dr C?

1 minute in and I want to see you on the stage!!!

I have just watched both marlon Brando And James Mason’s eulogy’s of Caesar and your’s is head and shoulders above the rest . (Sorry but it’s distracting from the rest of the video)

A toga for a senator would be (for formal occasions) white with a broad purple stripe I believe

It was possible to see a reenactment of the Rome vs Cartagena was in the late summers.
Slingers and fire breathers moving up the main street from the port following the retreating Roman legion with their auxiliaries. One of the armoured legionaries broke ranks to use a cash machine. However, he got back in line before the cavalry came up.

Then it was the elephant. Trumpeting and rearing.

The column was sealed by the men brushing up the dung.

Of course, it began with speeches.

Hi Dr. Clarke, Great lecture. I have read what you stated, that some claim that the Romans just did 100 percent copies of the Carthaginan ships. I could see the Romans adapting some Charthaginan innovations to suit their needs. But as you say, a Ship that fits one navy, will not fit another. So, 100 percent copies do not make sense. On a different note. I was planning on seeing you in Hamilton in June. But on April 20, I was hit from behind while stopped in traffic on one of my Motorcycles. I regained consciousness in the Ambulance. My Bike is toast I am told, I have list of injuries and some metal parts now. Anyways, I am looking forward to see your Haida lecture.

Just imagine, what kind of different hell it was in those days .
There is a lot to be said about the Carthagenians and Romans . Carhage was a verry resoursefull and Innotiv empire . For example creating a wooden track to push carts ( if they met up with some ancient greeks they could in theory have build a steam powerd transport) . Romans where also highly adaptive, seeing the use of diffent technologies, science, inventions. One of the major strenghst of the Roman empire . and of its army . using the expertise of other peoples and integrating it in to their own. .

There is a lot to be learend of these older empires as people in those days where as inteligent as we are now, in some cases even more so as there was a blank canvas of science to be discoverd .
Where now a child learns what was created and discovered thousends of years ago . Like writing, reading, math. algebra. just to name de basics.

Rome is as far from us, as Rome is from the Great Pyramid - which is about equally far from the Naqada I (No, SG fans, that is not a joke) culture which traded from Egypt with Greek islands and Lebanon... Before them?

Audio popping and cracking awfully... Almost ruining the great lecture.
