    The whole UFC fight at the White House gives me strong Roman fall era vibes.

    The Romans didnt abandon Scotland due to any kind of Scottish revolt. Agricola completed in inital conquest phase and as he was commencing the infrastucture and garrisoning part, he was recalled by Domitian to deal with the Dacian threat. In similar vein with Germany, yes arminius' revolt was highly successful, but there was a brutal Roman response that successfully exacted retribution. The  decsion not to proceed with colonisation (which can be seen as a mistake - a shorter northern border would have helped centuries later) was after that point where retribution was obtained.

    I really love this conversation.  I’m using my “Jerome Biblical Commentary-Two Volumes”to follow y’all.  Our founding fathers [motley crew] were well read men [consumed more wine than it took the ink used to write our precious Constitution.  Imagine this too, they rarely bathed….such an eventful moment.
