The Goths were now in possession of the Ukraine, a country of considerable extent and uncommon fertility, intersected with navigable rivers, which, from either side, discharge themselves into the Borysthenes; and interspersed with large and leafy forests of oaks. The plenty of game and fish, the innumerable bee-hives deposited in the hollow of old trees, and in the cavities of rocks, and forming, even in that rude age, a valuable branch of commerce, the size of the cattle, the temperature of the air, the aptness of the soil for every species of gain, and the luxuriancy of the vegetation, all displayed the liberality of Nature, and tempted the industry of man. But the Goths withstood all these temptations, and still adhered to a life of idleness, of poverty, and of rapine.
Lax enforcement of the border with Dacia emboldened to Goths to cross the frontier in 250 A.D. They threatened the city of Marcianopolis (Thrace), built by Trajan and named for his sister, forcing a ransom, and then retiring to the north. Decius, the Roman emperor, hearing of this, moved an army into position to pursue them. Weakened by their siege of Philipopolis, the Goths would have treated with Decius but he refused, choosing to push an attack against them as a lesson. Decius was killed and his army soundly defeated at Abrittus.
The successor, Gallus, treated with the Goths, allowed them to keep their booty, and embarrassed the Senate with his barbarian concessions, but the Goths broke that treaty and began to harass the borders once again. The Roman general in the area, Aemilius Aemilianus, pushed them back and was rewarded with the proclamation of emperor by his troops. He rushed to Rome, and killed Gallus but was assassinated himself 88 days later. It was 253 A.D.
Aemilianus’ successor, Valerian, spent his reign fighting in Syria, only to be captured and die in prison circa 260 A.D. His son, Gallienus, tasked with fighting along the Danube frontier, defeated the Juthungi tribe 259 A.D. at Milan after they crossed into Italy intent on attacking Rome.
Richard Jewell was a security guard who became widely known for his role in the harrowing events surrounding the Centennial Olympic Park bombing in Atlanta, Georgia, during the 1996 Summer Olympics. Born on December 17, 1962, in Danville, Virginia, Jewell experienced a challenging upbringing. He initially aspired to a career in law enforcement, taking on roles as a jailer and later as a campus security officer. His keen vigilance and sense of duty came to the forefront when he discovered a suspicious backpack, ultimately alerting authorities and saving lives just moments before a bomb detonated in the packed park.
Jornandes in his Getica (Gothic history) states that the Goths originated from Scandza, that place described by Ptolemy as shaped like a Juniper leaf with bulging sides that taper down to a point. Jornandes added more detail:
“It lies in front of the river Vistula which rises in the Sarmatian Mountains and flows through it triple mouth into the northern ocean in sight of Scandza separating Germany and Scythia. Here also there are said to be many small islands scattered about. If wolves cross over to these islands when the sea is frozen by reason of the great cold, they are said to lose their sight. Thus the land is not only inhospitable to men but cruel even to wild beasts.”
With respect to Roman history, we first hear of the Goths when Maximinus became emperor. He was a Thracian with Gothic ancestry – father a Goth named Micca and mother a member of the Alani tribe named Ababa. We next hear of them when they ambush and defeat Decius in 251 A.D. at Abrittus, but we will save the wars between the Romans and Goths for a later post.
acitus wrote a treatise on the German people titled Germania which, despite its biases, provides useful information about the Germans including the Goths. Selected quotes below:
The people of Germany appear to me indigenous, and free from intermixture with foreigners, either as settlers or casual visitants. For the emigrants of former ages performed their expeditions not by land, but by water; and that immense, and, if I may so call it, hostile ocean, is rarely navigated by ships from our world. Then, besides the danger of a boisterous and unknown sea, who would relinquish Asia, Africa, or Italy, for Germany, a land rude in its surface, rigorous in its climate, cheerless to every beholder and cultivator, except a native?
I concur in opinion with those who deem the Germans never to have intermarried with other nations; but to be a race, pure, unmixed, and stamped with a distinct character. Hence a family likeness pervades the whole, though their numbers are so great: eyes stern and blue; ruddy hair; large bodies, powerful in sudden exertions, but impatient of toil and labor, least of all capable of sustaining thirst and heat. Cold and hunger they are accustomed by their climate and soil to endure.
The land, though varied to a considerable extent in its aspect, is yet universally shagged with forests, or deformed by marshes: moister on the side of Gaul, more bleak on the side of Norieum and Pannonia. It is productive of grain, but unkindly to fruit-trees. It abounds in flocks and herds, but in general of a small breed.
Despite the settlements, Jewell was left grappling with the personal costs of his ordeal, including emotional and psychological damage from the intense scrutiny he faced. His legal victories, including compensation from numerous outlets, helped him regain a sense of financial security, allowing him to return to law enforcement in several communities across Georgia. Nevertheless, the legacy of his treatment at the hands of law enforcement and media left an indelible mark on his life, overshadowing his heroic image. Jewell's struggles and eventual accomplishments highlight the complex interplay between public perception and personal integrity.
Did Richard Jewell receive any recognition after the incident?
Yes, Richard Jewell received various accolades after he was cleared as a suspect, including an official commendation from Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue in 2006 for his heroic actions during the Olympic bombing, recognizing his role in averting a larger tragedy.
Céline Dion's ascent to international fame was solidified with her powerful rendition of "Beauty and the Beast," the theme song for Disney’s beloved animated film released in 1992. This collaboration with Peabo Bryson showcased her exceptional vocal talent and became a massive hit, reaching No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song won both a Grammy Award and an Academy Award, catapulting Dion into the limelight and marking her transition into the English-language music market. The success of the song was complemented by the launch of her self-titled album, "Celine Dion," which achieved gold status in the United States and sold over 12 million copies globally.
Céline Dion was born on March 30, 1968, in Charlemagne, Quebec, Canada. She is the youngest of 14 children in a musical family, which contributed to her early interest in singing.
What was Céline Dion's early career like?
Dion began her music career at a young age, recording her first demo tape at age 12 and signing with manager René Angélil, who promoted her debut album. By the age of 18, she had released nine French-language albums, establishing herself as a major star in Quebec and gaining international recognition.
Our chronology of the empire now skips forward to 235 A.D. and we pass over Macrinius, Elagabalus, and Severus Alexander in the process.
Macrinius, assassin of Caracalla, reigned for a year. His lack of military success against the Parthians caused dissatisfaction among the troops and that combined with his lack of pedigree caused the army to embrace the 14 year old grandson of the sister of Caracalla’s mother as emperor. His mother had put it out that he was Caracalla’s son. The boy called himself Elagabalus, the hereditary priest of the Oriental sun god and his behavior set new Roman standards for the bizarre and unconventional, recalling Caligula. Once his handlers divined where things were headed, they forced him to adopt his 13 year old cousin as backup. The boys quickly became rivals leading to Elagabalus order that Severus Alexander be put to death. No one would obey the order.
He sought to punish the disobedient, but they killed him instead. Alexander ascended to the throne and reigned for 13 years before his youth and lack of fortitude convinced the army a change was needed. Maximinus was declared emperor by the troops and Alexander was killed.
The senate was unhappy with the elevation of Maximinus but gave approval because it had to. Immediately there were two plots against his life – both foiled. He spent the two years fighting the Germans, Dacians, and Sarmatians, exhausting the treasury and using extortion to refill it. The resulting financial condition of Rome stirred up serious opposition.
The senate now sensed the return of their power and proceeded to govern in the old way. Twenty senators were selected to command the army in defense of Italy. Each was given unlimited authority to prepare for battle. At the same time dispatches were sent to the provinces begging the commanders to send help to the city.
Before the defense of Italy could begin, however, the Gordians were dead. A force from Mauritania, loyal to Maximinus, attacked them at Carthage. When the farther heard his son had been killed in battle, he committed suicide after a reign of thirty six days. It was the beginning of March 238 A.D.
As he began his march to Rome, Maximinus moved southwest out of the Balkans. After passing through the Julian Alps (see map), his army was shocked to see the landscape before them, as the locals had applied a scorched earth policy to the region. Villages had been burned, cattle driven away, and bridges destroyed. Maximinus did not realize it but the other aspect of the plan for defense was the fortification of selected cities to prepare them for the invasion.
Michel de Nostradame, later known as Nostradamus, was born between December 14 and 21, 1503, in Saint-Remy-de-Provence, France. He was one of nine children in a well-to-do family; his father, Jaume de Nostradame, was a grain dealer and notary, while his mother, Reyniere de St-Remy, was of Jewish descent. Nostradame's upbringing was influenced by his maternal grandfather, Jean de St. Remy, who tutored him in Latin, Greek, Hebrew, and mathematics, nurturing his intellectual capabilities. This early education laid the groundwork for his future pursuits in medicine, astrology, and the occult.
The legacy of Nostradamus extends well beyond his lifetime. His forecasts continue to resonate with people around the globe, and various conspiracy theories link him to pivotal moments, such as the French Revolution, both World Wars, and even modern events like the September 11 attacks. His writing style, utilizing vague language and metaphor, allows for varied interpretations, contributing to the enduring intrigue surrounding his prophecies. Nostradamus remains a figure in popular culture, often referenced in discussions about fate and foreknowledge, and his influence can be witnessed in literature, film, and astrology even today.
The publication of his works, particularly "Les Prophesies," which contained his famed predictions, generated considerable sales and interest among the public and aristocrats alike. Nostradamus capitalized on the popularity of astrology and prophecy, transforming them into lucrative ventures. His writings were frequently marketed as informative resources for farmers and merchants, ensuring a steady income stream. Consequently, while he faced substantial challenges and controversies throughout his life, Nostradamus's ability to adapt and embrace varied opportunities helped him secure a noteworthy legacy in both medicine and the occult.
Alexander Graham Bell’s journey into the world of invention began in his youth, influenced greatly by his family background and personal experiences. At the tender age of 12, Bell displayed an inventive spirit by creating a machine that separated wheat from its husks while playing in a grain mill. His early exposure to sound and speech, courtesy of his father, a renowned elocutionist, firmly set the course for his future. By volunteering to assist his grandfather during illness, Bell not only strengthened family ties but also cultivated a passion for learning that would serve him well.
Alexander Graham Bell's most significant invention, the telephone, emerged from years of experimentation and a deep fascination with sound. In the early 1870s, while working on a harmonic telegraph, Bell became captivated by the idea of transmitting human voice over wires. In 1876, he successfully transmitted clear speech, leading to his historic first phone call to Thomas Watson, a skilled electrician and his close collaborator. The moment was revolutionary; Bell exclaimed, “Mr. Watson, come here – I want to see you,” forever marking the day as a turning point in communication technology.
Together, they nurtured a loving environment that valued education and creativity. Mabel played an essential role in supporting Bell’s work and promoting his inventions, contributing to the establishment of the Bell Telephone Company. They had four children: Elsie, Marian, and two sons, Edward and Gilbert, although tragedy struck the family when their youngest son, Edward, died in infancy. Mabel remained a steadfast presence in Bell's life, and their mutual support fostered not only personal affection but also professional collaboration, strengthening Bell's legacy as an inventor dedicated to improving communication for the deaf.
In addition to his chart-topping songs, Glen Campbell showcased his charm and musical prowess on television with his own variety show, "The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour," which aired in the late 1960s. The show not only featured his singing talent but also comedic sketches and high-profile guest appearances, making him a household name and a beloved figure in American entertainment. Campbell’s career continued to thrive into the 1970s with enduring hits like "Rhinestone Cowboy" and "Southern Nights." Throughout his storied career, he received numerous accolades, including induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame and a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, further cementing his legacy as a pioneer of modern country music.

During the intervals of war, they pass their time less in hunting than in a sluggish repose, divided between sleep and the table. All the bravest of the warriors, committing the care of the house, the family affairs, and the lands, to the women, old men, and weaker part of the domestics, stupefy themselves in inaction.

It is well known that none of the German nations inhabit cities; or even admit of contiguous settlements. They dwell scattered and separate, as a spring, a meadow, or a grove may chance to invite them.
The German people of antiquity stand out as Rome’s greatest adversary. Caesar never tried to conquer them, content to have them on the other side of the Rhine from his Gaul. Augustus designed a boundary to contain them using the natural boundaries of the Rhine and Danube rivers. After Drusus and Tiberius, Augustus’ stepsons, set up the southern boundary on the Danube in 15 B.C, Augustus put in place a plan to move the eastern boundary to the Weser river. Drusus accomplished that positioning by 11 B.C. and then pushed on to the Elbe in 9 B.C, before his death after falling off a horse. By the end of his life, and not long after the Teutoburg disaster, Augustus pulled the western boundary back to the Rhine and counseled Tiberius to leave it there.
Maximinus was a formidable physical specimen. Unreliable sources have him eight foot tall and though we don’t know for sure, he likely overshadowed his contemporaries in size and strength. Maximinus was the first true barbarian emperor, rising through the ranks as a common soldier. He got the attention of Septimius Severus when he wrestled seventeen men in one afternoon and defeated all of them.
Some wealthy young men in the African province were being forced to give up their estates to fund the emperor’s treasury when they incited a riot, resulting in the death of the money collector. The rioters seized the town of Thysdrus and designated it as the center of a new rebellion against the emperor. The proconsul of Africa, Gordian, was pressured to accept the crown of emperor even though he was eighty years old. Descended from Trajan and the Gracchi, Gordian was one of the most respected men in Rome.
He sent embassies to Rome where the senate, delighted at the chance to reclaim the empire for the patricians, met secretly in the Temple of Castor and Pollux to consider the matter, and voted Gordian emperor. His son, Gordian II, was named co-emperor. To seal their authority the senate authorized the murder of the praetorian prefect, Vitalianus, a strong supporter of Maximinus.
Lacking an emperor, the senate was now forced to a war council. One of them, a descendent of Trajan, gave a stirring speech reminding his colleagues that the senate would prevail if they only could reassert their powers long lost. He nominated Balbinus and Maximus as the co-emperors who could lead Rome to victory. Opposite in style and skill -- Balbinus the intellectual and Maximus the soldier -- but complementary in purpose, the two men were elected to the throne.
But the people were not satisfied. They resented the new emperors as aged patricians who did not represent them. Crowds surrounded the Temple of Jupiter demanding that they have a say in the election of an emperor. They forced the senate to name Gordian III, grandson of the elder Gordian, as a third co-emperor. This was done partly out of respect for the sacrifice made by the elder Gordians in launching the rebellion.
Maximinus went wild with rage when he was told of the activities of the senate, and set his mind on the destruction of Italy.
The first city in the army’s path was Aquileia (northeast of Venice). Eight miles from the Adriatic, Aquileia was settled in 181 B.C. as a frontier fortress designed to block entrance into Italy. It’s fortifications had been in disrepair, but the delay of Maximinus gave the city time to re-build the walls and stock the city for battle.
When Maximinus and his army arrived, they decided to pursue a siege strategy and proceeded to cut trees for the construction of siege engines. By the time he was ready, the two commanders of the town, Crispinus and Menophilus, were equally prepared for him. The council of twenty had arranged for all roads to Rome to be blockaded to prevent re-supply of the invaders. The army of Maximinus was repulsed in repeated attacks, his siege engines destroyed by flaming projectiles. The attacks went on from March to May of 238 A.D.
Then a stunning event occurred. I’ll let Gibbon explain.
Maximinus’ soldiers, exposed to the inclemency of the season, the contagion of disease, the horrors of famine, and the wasted land became dispirited and disaffected. Cut off from intelligence, they believed the whole empire had embraced the cause of the senate, and they were left as devoted victims to perish under the walls of Aquileia. The fierce temper of the tyrant was exasperated by disappointments which he imputed to the cowardice of his army; and his wanton and ill timed cruelty, instead of striking terror, inspired hatred, and a just desire for revenge.
A plot was formed between the Praetorian Guard and the second legion (Parthica) to murder the emperor and it was successfully carried out.
Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio, born on November 11, 1974, in Los Angeles, California, is one of Hollywood's most renowned actors, celebrated for his remarkable talent and versatility. The only child of Irmelin and George DiCaprio, he gained inspiration for his name when his mother felt him kicking while admiring a Leonardo da Vinci painting during her pregnancy in Florence. DiCaprio's journey into acting began in childhood, heavily influenced by his creative upbringing despite experiencing challenges in securing representation early on. He rose to fame in the mid-1990s with notable performances in films like What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?, earning his first Academy Award nomination at just 19 years old.
Upon hearing of Maximinus’ death, the Aquileians opened the gates of the city and invited their former adversaries to eat. Maximus, overseeing the battle from Ravenna, returned to Rome in triumph and was greeted by his co-emperors as he entered the city.
It wasn’t long, however, before Balbinus and Maximus were at each other’s throats. So focused on taking power from each other they ignored the dangerous power of the praetorians and paid with their lives -- killed during the Capitoline games in July 238 A.D. The praetorians hoisted Gordian III to their shoulders and carried him to their camp, proclaiming him as the only legitimate emperor of Rome.
From a young age, DiCaprio was fascinated with performing arts, often putting on skits for his parents. His passion for acting led him to drop out of John Marshall High School to pursue auditions more seriously, ultimately earning his general equivalency diploma later. During his teenage years, he faced struggles in finding representation but continued to persevere. His dedication paid off as he landed small roles in television shows, which helped him gain valuable experience and ultimately paved the way for his successful transition into film.
DiCaprio's career took off with a series of television roles in the early '90s. He initially appeared in commercials, eventually landing guest spots on popular shows such as "The New Lassie" and "Roseanne." His breakthrough came with the dramatic comedy series "Parenthood," where he received acclaim for his portrayal as a troubled youth. This performance led him to become a semi-regular on "Growing Pains," where he played Luke Brower, a homeless boy taken in by a caring family. DiCaprio's talent shone through in these roles, earning him nominations for Young Artist Awards and setting the stage for his successful transition into feature films.
Young Gordian reigned for six years. When his praetorian prefect, Misitheus, died of the flux, the replacement, Philip, who aspired to the throne, had the boy murdered.
The events described here reflect the continuing rot of the empire. Power was concentrated in armies located far from Rome, commanded by provincials who had no connection to the mother city. In isolation, they rallied around their commanders, who, when they coveted the power of Rome, would move to take over. All of the factors that made the republic function: family history, a sense of culture, substantial political experience, and education were collapsed down to a remnant group of patricians and new men who had lost their authority forever.

Leonardo DiCaprio’s transition from a promising young actor to a Hollywood A-lister was solidified through his poignant performance in “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?” (1993). In this critically acclaimed film, DiCaprio starred alongside Johnny Depp, portraying Arnie Grape, a mentally challenged young man. His commitment to this challenging role was remarkable; he immersed himself in the character by spending days at homes for mentally ill teenagers, capturing their mannerisms with authenticity. DiCaprio's extraordinary performance earned him his first Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor, showcasing his ability to tackle complex and emotionally demanding roles from a young age.
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), officially the U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization, is an initiative of the second Trump administration led by Elon Musk. Despite its name, DOGE is not a Cabinet-level department of the United States government, but a temporary contracted government organization under the United States DOGE Service, formerly known as the United States Digital Service. DOGE's stated purpose is to reduce wasteful and fraudulent federal spending, and eliminate excessive regulations. The organization was created to "modernize federal technology and software to maximize governmental efficiency and productivity" by an executive order by President Donald Trump on January 20, 2025, and is scheduled to end on July 4, 2026.

The past century provides us with three of the greatest villains of all time based on the number of human beings killed. Mao, Stalin, and Hitler used modern technology to murder millions and protect their positions of power. Hitler was probably the oddest case as he used racial purification to justify murder using a corruption of the theory of Eugenics. It is estimated that Mao is responsible for 40-70 million deaths, Stalin 50 million, and Hitler 12 million.
The Roman Empire had its share of villains also. We have seen psychotics like Caligula, Nero, Domitian, and Commodus, sprinkled throughout its history, but with Septimius Severus and his son we reach a new definition of evil and villainy. Here are the father and son.
Over the years, DiCaprio has forged a remarkable partnership with visionary director Martin Scorsese, resulting in several iconic films such as Gangs of New York, The Aviator, The Departed, and The Wolf of Wall Street. These collaborations not only solidified DiCaprio's status as a serious actor but also earned him multiple Academy Award nominations.

Nostradamus began his medical career in the early 16th century, a time when the bubonic plague ravaged much of Europe. As a physician, he took a progressive approach to medicine, rejecting the common practices of bloodletting and mercury potions. Instead, he emphasized hygiene and the importance of removing infected corpses from city streets, which contributed significantly to his success in treating plague victims. His innovative thinking led him to create the "rose pill," an herbal lozenge made from rosehips known for its high Vitamin C content, providing relief to patients suffering from the disease. His impressive cure rate established him as a local celebrity in Provence.
This awakening involved intense meditation and a deep dive into mystical practices. Nostradamus would often spend hours in his study, staring into a bowl filled with water and herbs, seeking visions of the future. His experiences during this trance state resulted in profound insights that he later utilized in his prophetic writings. The blending of astrology, herbal medicine, and his unique intuitive abilities became the cornerstone of his prediction methodology. This engagement with the occult signified a shift in his focus from traditional medicine to the mystical arts, laying the groundwork for his later work, including the renowned "Les Prophesies."
Nostradamus experienced significant upheaval in his personal life, particularly following the tragic deaths of his first wife and children. After his initial successes as a physician treating plague victims, he settled into a promising career in Agen, where he married a woman named Anne Ponsarde, a wealthy widow. Together, they had six children—three sons and three daughters. This period marked a turn toward stability and family life for Nostradamus, allowing him to focus on both his medical practices and his burgeoning interest in astrology and prophecy.

Back in England Gibbon spent time managing his father’s estate and serving in parliament while writing his history. The first volume was published in 1776, volumes three and four by 1781, and the final two volumes appeared in 1787. Interesting to note the coincidence with important American dates. The Decline was immensely popular in its day with the first two volumes selling out three editions.

William Faulkner, born on September 25, 1897, in New Albany, Mississippi, is a seminal figure in American literature, celebrated for his profound narratives that encapsulate the complexities of life in the South. Much of his early writing was poetry; however, he gained fame for his novels, notably set in his fictional Yoknapatawpha County. Notable works include "The Sound and the Fury," "As I Lay Dying," and "Absalom, Absalom!" Faulkner's storytelling often confronted harsh social issues such as race, class, and violence, earning him critical acclaim and a wide readership. His controversial 1931 novel, "Sanctuary," became a turning point in his career, reinforcing his status as a formidable literary voice and resulting in adaptations for the big screen.
In 1949, Faulkner received the Nobel Prize in Literature, a prestigious accolade that recognized him as one of the most influential writers of his time. His subsequent works, including "Collected Stories" and "A Fable," further showcased his ability to capture the intricacies of human experience in the context of the American South. Additionally, his novel "The Reivers," published in 1962, posthumously garnered a second Pulitzer Prize in 1963, solidifying his legacy as a critical figure in American literature. Faulkner's contributions during this period not only articulated the beauty of Southern life but also revealed its underlying complexities, ensuring his place in literary history.
Before doing that we need to review some statistics which will give you a sense of the tenuous nature of the Emperor’s position. There were 58 of them from Augustus to the year 363 A.D, when Jovian died and the empire was split into east and west. Of the 58, 30 were murdered by the army, 4 died of the plague, 2 died in battle, 2 committed suicide, 1 was struck by lightning, and 1 drowned. Great men were rare and weaklings ubiquitous. The army lacked real men – leaders made of the same stuff as them -- so weaklings had to pay them to stay alive. But the army was fickle and might give an emperor the sword because it decided it liked someone else better. My use of the term, army, includes the Praetorian Guard who by their position of honor and proximity to the emperor, played a special role in king making.
William Faulkner’s personal life was marked by both love and tragedy. He married his first love, Estelle Oldham, in 1931 after she divorced her previous husband, Cornell Franklin. Estelle, who held a vibrant personality that initially captivated Faulkner in their youth, became a significant influence in his life and work after their marriage. Their bond deepened over the years, yet faced considerable strain due to Faulkner's emotional complexities and emerging fame. Despite the turbulence, Estelle remained a central figure in his life until his passing, playing a crucial role in supporting his literary endeavors.
The couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named Alabama, shortly after their marriage. Tragically, Alabama was born prematurely and lived only a week. This devastating loss profoundly affected Faulkner, impacting both his personal life and writing. The grief from this experience manifested in his work, as seen in his collection of short stories, These 13, which he dedicated to Estelle and Alabama. Later, they had another daughter, Jill, who was their only surviving child. As a family, they navigated their shared triumphs and sorrows, leaving an indelible mark on Faulkner's literary journey.
Trajan. The inscription on his coin is IMP CAES NER TRIANO OPTIMO AUG GER DAC which means Imperator (emperor) Caesar Nerva (son of) Trajan Best Augustus Germanicus Dacicus. The coin was struck 114 A.D.
Trajan’s legacy is the great column that sits near the Roman Forum, a one hundred foot chronicle of his conquests. His ashes were buried there after his death.
Hadrian. The inscription on his coin is HADRIANUS AUG COS III PP which means Hadrian Augustus Consul Three times Father of his Country (Pater Patriae) The coin was struck between 134-138 A.D.
Beyond book sales, Faulkner's financial success was bolstered by his ventures into screenwriting, where he penned scripts for several films in Hollywood during the 1930s and 1940s. Selling film rights for his controversial work "Sanctuary" contributed significantly to his income. In addition, various adaptations of his literary works have continued to generate revenue long after his death. Thanks to his prolific writing and the lasting impact of his stories, Faulkner carved a niche for himself, balancing a passion for literature with commercial success. His legacy endures, both in the literary world and the financial realm, through numerous adaptations and critical acclaim.
William Clark (1770-1838) was a prominent American explorer known for his significant role in the Lewis and Clark Expedition. This groundbreaking journey, initiated in 1803, aimed to explore the vast territories acquired through the Louisiana Purchase, stretching westward from the Mississippi River. Invited by his friend Meriwether Lewis, Clark shared command of the expedition, which lasted over two years and covered more than 8,000 miles. His skills as a soldier, outdoorsman, and exceptional mapmaker were invaluable in navigating the uncharted landscapes of the American West and establishing communication with various Indigenous nations along the route.
Clark received a blend of formal and informal education during his youth, which included both learning the fundamentals of reading and writing and acquiring practical skills essential for survival in the wilderness. This comprehensive upbringing enabled him to develop a keen interest in the natural world. His experiences in the military further expanded his knowledge, shaping his abilities as an outdoorsman and a leader. When he resigned from the army in 1796, he took on the management of his family estate, but his adventurous spirit and desire for exploration would soon lead him to embark on his most significant journey with Lewis in the great unknown westward territories.
In his post-expedition life, Clark's appointment as governor of the Missouri Territory further established his status and provided him with a steady income. His active participation in local governance and Indian affairs represented a critical role in a rapidly developing region. Additionally, Clark inherited family property and managed land interests, contributing to his overall financial well-being. While historical records do not provide specific estimates of his net worth, his positions and commissions suggest that he enjoyed a comfortable lifestyle in the years following his acclaimed journey.
I have laid out that while the terrorists hijacked the planes, the government knew that was coming and allowed the attack to take place to gain tremendous power.

The Bureau of Prisons (BOP) employee Mr. Kumb provided the recreation materials they used. The BOP came down to 10 South and filmed everything. Their lawyer, Lynne Stewart (1939-2017), was imprisoned for passing them notes for 4 years.
Marcus Aurelius. The inscription on is coin is M ANTONIUS AUG IMP II which means Marcus Antonius Augustus Imperator II. The coin was struck 162 A.D.
When Marcus Aurelius became Caesar in 161 A.D. he named his brother Lucius Verus as an equal and designated him as co-Caesar and Augustus. As peaceful as the reign of Antonius Pius was, we find the opposite in the reign of Marcus, as if the gods were blocking him from pursuing his life’s calling as a peacemaker. Immediately there were attacks in the east and the north followed by invasions and plague. Verus, showing himself a worthy partner, fought the Parthians from 162-166 A.D. but then his troops brought the plague home with them. The emperors went north to fight the Germans in 168 but Verus died of a stroke in 169. Marcus fought the Germans from 170-175, returned to Rome for three years, and then attacked the Germans again starting in 178 A.D. He died there in 180 A.D.

They don’t appear on rich lists. They don’t flaunt their wealth. But behind the scenes, the Wallenberg family controls an empire worth hundreds of billions of dollars. From AstraZeneca to Ericsson, their influence quietly shapes the global economy—but only few even know their name. For over six generations, the Wallenbergs have mastered the art of staying invisible. Their financial empire was built through banking, strategic investments, and political influence, making them one of the most powerful families in Europe. But their history is full of contradictions. During World War II, they walked a dangerous line—helping both the Nazis and the resistance. They banked for Hitler, yet also aided in secret plots to overthrow him. They helped save thousands of Jewish lives, but were later blacklisted by the U.S. Treasury for financial dealings with the Nazis. So, how did the Wallenbergs become the secret rulers of Sweden? How do they keep their

Bessie Coleman was a trailblazing American aviator born on January 26, 1892, in Atlanta, Texas.

Outside Capua they had to good luck to come upon wagons loaded with weapons meant for gladiators in another city so they were able to arm themselves. Spartacus was elected the chief of three captains. It’s possible the other two were Crixus and Oenomaus.
After defeating the Romans who were pursuing them out of Capua, the rebels were able to substitute Roman weapons for their gladiator weapons, which they considered dishonorable. First attacked by the praetor Clodius on a mountain (Vesuvius?), Spartacus’ men were able to escape to the other side, circle around, attack, and defeat the Roman force. After this battle, the rebel force grew stronger though the recruitment of sympathetic allies.
A furious Crassus proceeds to decimate his army while Spartacus retreats down through Lucania into the toe of Italy. The latter attempts to cross into Sicily with the aid of Cilician pirates but they deceive him and sail away. Spartacus settles his army near Rhegium.
After arriving at the Italian toe, Crassus orders that a wall be build across the isthmus to prevent a rebel escape. The resulting wall is 37 miles long!
Most of us have a sense of the relationship between the Roman Republic and the government of the United States. For example, our Senate is named for the senior legislative body of the ancient republic. But there is more to the relationship than names as you will see below as we describe how the founders viewed ancient political systems in their efforts to fashion a government for America.
The founders of our country were educated men. Most could read Latin and Greek -- most had studied the history of governments and were well versed in ancient history. The Romans stood out as their chosen model for a political system, not the Greeks. The Athenian and Spartan systems were seen as inappropriate for the new country – the former because it gave too much power to the people and the latter because it operated in a non-economic model (a closed society with no trade).

The agrarian view, popular in the south, held that a prosperous socio-economic system would create wealth and happiness for all, resulting in a stable and long lasting political system. If a man owned land, he would be free from the trials of life which could cause him to be impoverished. This philosophy was dovish in its militancy – believing that a landowning class was a kind of utopia that did not need to protect itself from decay.
As the convention opened, delegates were faced with the decision of how best to adapt the Roman system to a modern Unites States. There were certainly fundamental differences between America and the Roman Republic and these influenced by the span of time and the evolution of western culture over two millennia.

My current premium sub expires in less than 48 hours. I felt like I underutilized this last sub. If I won't be available for some time, I think it's okay to suspend premium sub till I'm certain of my availability.
That's one of the reasons I've been holding out for a year sub.
But at least you made your 10 bucks back right?
Barely.... from my calculation.
The more active you are, the more you shall make
But I like that more people focus on the Premium feature set and the rewards are just a background part of things
yep, exactly 💯
🦁
i definitely love the premium set. It feels weird to be here without it. The earning is an icing on the cake but I
Really, I shall engage and see for myself
Planning on buying some soon
same here, not much active since I bought my last premium !BBH
Mine in about a week...
I agree about your strategy, it's also one of the reasons I won't subscribe to the yearly sub as I don't know how avalible I'll be in a few months.
Imagine being able to pause your sub because you want to be away for a while. Sounds interesting.
I'm planning on getting mine next week

Elon Musk said Grok 3 will be out in a few weeks. His claim is that it will be the last time that any other LLM surpasses Grok.
He is setting up big expectations. xAI has the compute and the data.
That's just music to my ears. Been testing out Grok AI and I love it so far. It's just a matter of time and it would be difficult to distinguish between human written and AI written.
Elon Musk is always thinking ahead, very innovative, it's a good thing. I'm looking forward to what he will create.

The Goths were now in possession of the Ukraine, a country of considerable extent and uncommon fertility, intersected with navigable rivers, which, from either side, discharge themselves into the Borysthenes; and interspersed with large and leafy forests of oaks. The plenty of game and fish, the innumerable bee-hives deposited in the hollow of old trees, and in the cavities of rocks, and forming, even in that rude age, a valuable branch of commerce, the size of the cattle, the temperature of the air, the aptness of the soil for every species of gain, and the luxuriancy of the vegetation, all displayed the liberality of Nature, and tempted the industry of man. But the Goths withstood all these temptations, and still adhered to a life of idleness, of poverty, and of rapine.

Lax enforcement of the border with Dacia emboldened to Goths to cross the frontier in 250 A.D. They threatened the city of Marcianopolis (Thrace), built by Trajan and named for his sister, forcing a ransom, and then retiring to the north. Decius, the Roman emperor, hearing of this, moved an army into position to pursue them. Weakened by their siege of Philipopolis, the Goths would have treated with Decius but he refused, choosing to push an attack against them as a lesson. Decius was killed and his army soundly defeated at Abrittus.

The successor, Gallus, treated with the Goths, allowed them to keep their booty, and embarrassed the Senate with his barbarian concessions, but the Goths broke that treaty and began to harass the borders once again. The Roman general in the area, Aemilius Aemilianus, pushed them back and was rewarded with the proclamation of emperor by his troops. He rushed to Rome, and killed Gallus but was assassinated himself 88 days later. It was 253 A.D.
Aemilianus’ successor, Valerian, spent his reign fighting in Syria, only to be captured and die in prison circa 260 A.D. His son, Gallienus, tasked with fighting along the Danube frontier, defeated the Juthungi tribe 259 A.D. at Milan after they crossed into Italy intent on attacking Rome.

Richard Jewell was a security guard who became widely known for his role in the harrowing events surrounding the Centennial Olympic Park bombing in Atlanta, Georgia, during the 1996 Summer Olympics. Born on December 17, 1962, in Danville, Virginia, Jewell experienced a challenging upbringing. He initially aspired to a career in law enforcement, taking on roles as a jailer and later as a campus security officer. His keen vigilance and sense of duty came to the forefront when he discovered a suspicious backpack, ultimately alerting authorities and saving lives just moments before a bomb detonated in the packed park.

Jornandes in his Getica (Gothic history) states that the Goths originated from Scandza, that place described by Ptolemy as shaped like a Juniper leaf with bulging sides that taper down to a point. Jornandes added more detail:
“It lies in front of the river Vistula which rises in the Sarmatian Mountains and flows through it triple mouth into the northern ocean in sight of Scandza separating Germany and Scythia. Here also there are said to be many small islands scattered about. If wolves cross over to these islands when the sea is frozen by reason of the great cold, they are said to lose their sight. Thus the land is not only inhospitable to men but cruel even to wild beasts.”

With respect to Roman history, we first hear of the Goths when Maximinus became emperor. He was a Thracian with Gothic ancestry – father a Goth named Micca and mother a member of the Alani tribe named Ababa. We next hear of them when they ambush and defeat Decius in 251 A.D. at Abrittus, but we will save the wars between the Romans and Goths for a later post.
acitus wrote a treatise on the German people titled Germania which, despite its biases, provides useful information about the Germans including the Goths. Selected quotes below:
The people of Germany appear to me indigenous, and free from intermixture with foreigners, either as settlers or casual visitants. For the emigrants of former ages performed their expeditions not by land, but by water; and that immense, and, if I may so call it, hostile ocean, is rarely navigated by ships from our world. Then, besides the danger of a boisterous and unknown sea, who would relinquish Asia, Africa, or Italy, for Germany, a land rude in its surface, rigorous in its climate, cheerless to every beholder and cultivator, except a native?
!summarize #nyknicks #nba #allstarbreak
!summarize #christinelagarde #europe #euro #eu
I concur in opinion with those who deem the Germans never to have intermarried with other nations; but to be a race, pure, unmixed, and stamped with a distinct character. Hence a family likeness pervades the whole, though their numbers are so great: eyes stern and blue; ruddy hair; large bodies, powerful in sudden exertions, but impatient of toil and labor, least of all capable of sustaining thirst and heat. Cold and hunger they are accustomed by their climate and soil to endure.
The land, though varied to a considerable extent in its aspect, is yet universally shagged with forests, or deformed by marshes: moister on the side of Gaul, more bleak on the side of Norieum and Pannonia. It is productive of grain, but unkindly to fruit-trees. It abounds in flocks and herds, but in general of a small breed.
Despite the settlements, Jewell was left grappling with the personal costs of his ordeal, including emotional and psychological damage from the intense scrutiny he faced. His legal victories, including compensation from numerous outlets, helped him regain a sense of financial security, allowing him to return to law enforcement in several communities across Georgia. Nevertheless, the legacy of his treatment at the hands of law enforcement and media left an indelible mark on his life, overshadowing his heroic image. Jewell's struggles and eventual accomplishments highlight the complex interplay between public perception and personal integrity.
Yes, Richard Jewell received various accolades after he was cleared as a suspect, including an official commendation from Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue in 2006 for his heroic actions during the Olympic bombing, recognizing his role in averting a larger tragedy.

Céline Dion's ascent to international fame was solidified with her powerful rendition of "Beauty and the Beast," the theme song for Disney’s beloved animated film released in 1992. This collaboration with Peabo Bryson showcased her exceptional vocal talent and became a massive hit, reaching No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song won both a Grammy Award and an Academy Award, catapulting Dion into the limelight and marking her transition into the English-language music market. The success of the song was complemented by the launch of her self-titled album, "Celine Dion," which achieved gold status in the United States and sold over 12 million copies globally.
When was Céline Dion born?
Céline Dion was born on March 30, 1968, in Charlemagne, Quebec, Canada. She is the youngest of 14 children in a musical family, which contributed to her early interest in singing.
What was Céline Dion's early career like?
Dion began her music career at a young age, recording her first demo tape at age 12 and signing with manager René Angélil, who promoted her debut album. By the age of 18, she had released nine French-language albums, establishing herself as a major star in Quebec and gaining international recognition.

Our chronology of the empire now skips forward to 235 A.D. and we pass over Macrinius, Elagabalus, and Severus Alexander in the process.
Macrinius, assassin of Caracalla, reigned for a year. His lack of military success against the Parthians caused dissatisfaction among the troops and that combined with his lack of pedigree caused the army to embrace the 14 year old grandson of the sister of Caracalla’s mother as emperor. His mother had put it out that he was Caracalla’s son. The boy called himself Elagabalus, the hereditary priest of the Oriental sun god and his behavior set new Roman standards for the bizarre and unconventional, recalling Caligula. Once his handlers divined where things were headed, they forced him to adopt his 13 year old cousin as backup. The boys quickly became rivals leading to Elagabalus order that Severus Alexander be put to death. No one would obey the order.
He sought to punish the disobedient, but they killed him instead. Alexander ascended to the throne and reigned for 13 years before his youth and lack of fortitude convinced the army a change was needed. Maximinus was declared emperor by the troops and Alexander was killed.
The senate was unhappy with the elevation of Maximinus but gave approval because it had to. Immediately there were two plots against his life – both foiled. He spent the two years fighting the Germans, Dacians, and Sarmatians, exhausting the treasury and using extortion to refill it. The resulting financial condition of Rome stirred up serious opposition.
The senate now sensed the return of their power and proceeded to govern in the old way. Twenty senators were selected to command the army in defense of Italy. Each was given unlimited authority to prepare for battle. At the same time dispatches were sent to the provinces begging the commanders to send help to the city.
Before the defense of Italy could begin, however, the Gordians were dead. A force from Mauritania, loyal to Maximinus, attacked them at Carthage. When the farther heard his son had been killed in battle, he committed suicide after a reign of thirty six days. It was the beginning of March 238 A.D.
As he began his march to Rome, Maximinus moved southwest out of the Balkans. After passing through the Julian Alps (see map), his army was shocked to see the landscape before them, as the locals had applied a scorched earth policy to the region. Villages had been burned, cattle driven away, and bridges destroyed. Maximinus did not realize it but the other aspect of the plan for defense was the fortification of selected cities to prepare them for the invasion.

Michel de Nostradame, later known as Nostradamus, was born between December 14 and 21, 1503, in Saint-Remy-de-Provence, France. He was one of nine children in a well-to-do family; his father, Jaume de Nostradame, was a grain dealer and notary, while his mother, Reyniere de St-Remy, was of Jewish descent. Nostradame's upbringing was influenced by his maternal grandfather, Jean de St. Remy, who tutored him in Latin, Greek, Hebrew, and mathematics, nurturing his intellectual capabilities. This early education laid the groundwork for his future pursuits in medicine, astrology, and the occult.
The legacy of Nostradamus extends well beyond his lifetime. His forecasts continue to resonate with people around the globe, and various conspiracy theories link him to pivotal moments, such as the French Revolution, both World Wars, and even modern events like the September 11 attacks. His writing style, utilizing vague language and metaphor, allows for varied interpretations, contributing to the enduring intrigue surrounding his prophecies. Nostradamus remains a figure in popular culture, often referenced in discussions about fate and foreknowledge, and his influence can be witnessed in literature, film, and astrology even today.
The publication of his works, particularly "Les Prophesies," which contained his famed predictions, generated considerable sales and interest among the public and aristocrats alike. Nostradamus capitalized on the popularity of astrology and prophecy, transforming them into lucrative ventures. His writings were frequently marketed as informative resources for farmers and merchants, ensuring a steady income stream. Consequently, while he faced substantial challenges and controversies throughout his life, Nostradamus's ability to adapt and embrace varied opportunities helped him secure a noteworthy legacy in both medicine and the occult.

Alexander Graham Bell’s journey into the world of invention began in his youth, influenced greatly by his family background and personal experiences. At the tender age of 12, Bell displayed an inventive spirit by creating a machine that separated wheat from its husks while playing in a grain mill. His early exposure to sound and speech, courtesy of his father, a renowned elocutionist, firmly set the course for his future. By volunteering to assist his grandfather during illness, Bell not only strengthened family ties but also cultivated a passion for learning that would serve him well.
Alexander Graham Bell's most significant invention, the telephone, emerged from years of experimentation and a deep fascination with sound. In the early 1870s, while working on a harmonic telegraph, Bell became captivated by the idea of transmitting human voice over wires. In 1876, he successfully transmitted clear speech, leading to his historic first phone call to Thomas Watson, a skilled electrician and his close collaborator. The moment was revolutionary; Bell exclaimed, “Mr. Watson, come here – I want to see you,” forever marking the day as a turning point in communication technology.
!summarize #intel #nvidia #semiconductors #technology
Together, they nurtured a loving environment that valued education and creativity. Mabel played an essential role in supporting Bell’s work and promoting his inventions, contributing to the establishment of the Bell Telephone Company. They had four children: Elsie, Marian, and two sons, Edward and Gilbert, although tragedy struck the family when their youngest son, Edward, died in infancy. Mabel remained a steadfast presence in Bell's life, and their mutual support fostered not only personal affection but also professional collaboration, strengthening Bell's legacy as an inventor dedicated to improving communication for the deaf.
In addition to his chart-topping songs, Glen Campbell showcased his charm and musical prowess on television with his own variety show, "The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour," which aired in the late 1960s. The show not only featured his singing talent but also comedic sketches and high-profile guest appearances, making him a household name and a beloved figure in American entertainment. Campbell’s career continued to thrive into the 1970s with enduring hits like "Rhinestone Cowboy" and "Southern Nights." Throughout his storied career, he received numerous accolades, including induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame and a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, further cementing his legacy as a pioneer of modern country music.

During the intervals of war, they pass their time less in hunting than in a sluggish repose, divided between sleep and the table. All the bravest of the warriors, committing the care of the house, the family affairs, and the lands, to the women, old men, and weaker part of the domestics, stupefy themselves in inaction.
Their drink is a liquor prepared from barley or wheat brought by fermentation to a certain resemblance of wine.
It is well known that none of the German nations inhabit cities; or even admit of contiguous settlements. They dwell scattered and separate, as a spring, a meadow, or a grove may chance to invite them.

The German people of antiquity stand out as Rome’s greatest adversary. Caesar never tried to conquer them, content to have them on the other side of the Rhine from his Gaul. Augustus designed a boundary to contain them using the natural boundaries of the Rhine and Danube rivers. After Drusus and Tiberius, Augustus’ stepsons, set up the southern boundary on the Danube in 15 B.C, Augustus put in place a plan to move the eastern boundary to the Weser river. Drusus accomplished that positioning by 11 B.C. and then pushed on to the Elbe in 9 B.C, before his death after falling off a horse. By the end of his life, and not long after the Teutoburg disaster, Augustus pulled the western boundary back to the Rhine and counseled Tiberius to leave it there.
Maximinus was a formidable physical specimen. Unreliable sources have him eight foot tall and though we don’t know for sure, he likely overshadowed his contemporaries in size and strength. Maximinus was the first true barbarian emperor, rising through the ranks as a common soldier. He got the attention of Septimius Severus when he wrestled seventeen men in one afternoon and defeated all of them.

Some wealthy young men in the African province were being forced to give up their estates to fund the emperor’s treasury when they incited a riot, resulting in the death of the money collector. The rioters seized the town of Thysdrus and designated it as the center of a new rebellion against the emperor. The proconsul of Africa, Gordian, was pressured to accept the crown of emperor even though he was eighty years old. Descended from Trajan and the Gracchi, Gordian was one of the most respected men in Rome.
He sent embassies to Rome where the senate, delighted at the chance to reclaim the empire for the patricians, met secretly in the Temple of Castor and Pollux to consider the matter, and voted Gordian emperor. His son, Gordian II, was named co-emperor. To seal their authority the senate authorized the murder of the praetorian prefect, Vitalianus, a strong supporter of Maximinus.

Lacking an emperor, the senate was now forced to a war council. One of them, a descendent of Trajan, gave a stirring speech reminding his colleagues that the senate would prevail if they only could reassert their powers long lost. He nominated Balbinus and Maximus as the co-emperors who could lead Rome to victory. Opposite in style and skill -- Balbinus the intellectual and Maximus the soldier -- but complementary in purpose, the two men were elected to the throne.
But the people were not satisfied. They resented the new emperors as aged patricians who did not represent them. Crowds surrounded the Temple of Jupiter demanding that they have a say in the election of an emperor. They forced the senate to name Gordian III, grandson of the elder Gordian, as a third co-emperor. This was done partly out of respect for the sacrifice made by the elder Gordians in launching the rebellion.
Maximinus went wild with rage when he was told of the activities of the senate, and set his mind on the destruction of Italy.
The first city in the army’s path was Aquileia (northeast of Venice). Eight miles from the Adriatic, Aquileia was settled in 181 B.C. as a frontier fortress designed to block entrance into Italy. It’s fortifications had been in disrepair, but the delay of Maximinus gave the city time to re-build the walls and stock the city for battle.
When Maximinus and his army arrived, they decided to pursue a siege strategy and proceeded to cut trees for the construction of siege engines. By the time he was ready, the two commanders of the town, Crispinus and Menophilus, were equally prepared for him. The council of twenty had arranged for all roads to Rome to be blockaded to prevent re-supply of the invaders. The army of Maximinus was repulsed in repeated attacks, his siege engines destroyed by flaming projectiles. The attacks went on from March to May of 238 A.D.
!summarize #universe #metaphysics #manifestation
Then a stunning event occurred. I’ll let Gibbon explain.
Maximinus’ soldiers, exposed to the inclemency of the season, the contagion of disease, the horrors of famine, and the wasted land became dispirited and disaffected. Cut off from intelligence, they believed the whole empire had embraced the cause of the senate, and they were left as devoted victims to perish under the walls of Aquileia. The fierce temper of the tyrant was exasperated by disappointments which he imputed to the cowardice of his army; and his wanton and ill timed cruelty, instead of striking terror, inspired hatred, and a just desire for revenge.
A plot was formed between the Praetorian Guard and the second legion (Parthica) to murder the emperor and it was successfully carried out.

Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio, born on November 11, 1974, in Los Angeles, California, is one of Hollywood's most renowned actors, celebrated for his remarkable talent and versatility. The only child of Irmelin and George DiCaprio, he gained inspiration for his name when his mother felt him kicking while admiring a Leonardo da Vinci painting during her pregnancy in Florence. DiCaprio's journey into acting began in childhood, heavily influenced by his creative upbringing despite experiencing challenges in securing representation early on. He rose to fame in the mid-1990s with notable performances in films like What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?, earning his first Academy Award nomination at just 19 years old.
Upon hearing of Maximinus’ death, the Aquileians opened the gates of the city and invited their former adversaries to eat. Maximus, overseeing the battle from Ravenna, returned to Rome in triumph and was greeted by his co-emperors as he entered the city.
It wasn’t long, however, before Balbinus and Maximus were at each other’s throats. So focused on taking power from each other they ignored the dangerous power of the praetorians and paid with their lives -- killed during the Capitoline games in July 238 A.D. The praetorians hoisted Gordian III to their shoulders and carried him to their camp, proclaiming him as the only legitimate emperor of Rome.

From a young age, DiCaprio was fascinated with performing arts, often putting on skits for his parents. His passion for acting led him to drop out of John Marshall High School to pursue auditions more seriously, ultimately earning his general equivalency diploma later. During his teenage years, he faced struggles in finding representation but continued to persevere. His dedication paid off as he landed small roles in television shows, which helped him gain valuable experience and ultimately paved the way for his successful transition into film.
DiCaprio's career took off with a series of television roles in the early '90s. He initially appeared in commercials, eventually landing guest spots on popular shows such as "The New Lassie" and "Roseanne." His breakthrough came with the dramatic comedy series "Parenthood," where he received acclaim for his portrayal as a troubled youth. This performance led him to become a semi-regular on "Growing Pains," where he played Luke Brower, a homeless boy taken in by a caring family. DiCaprio's talent shone through in these roles, earning him nominations for Young Artist Awards and setting the stage for his successful transition into feature films.

Young Gordian reigned for six years. When his praetorian prefect, Misitheus, died of the flux, the replacement, Philip, who aspired to the throne, had the boy murdered.
The events described here reflect the continuing rot of the empire. Power was concentrated in armies located far from Rome, commanded by provincials who had no connection to the mother city. In isolation, they rallied around their commanders, who, when they coveted the power of Rome, would move to take over. All of the factors that made the republic function: family history, a sense of culture, substantial political experience, and education were collapsed down to a remnant group of patricians and new men who had lost their authority forever.

Leonardo DiCaprio’s transition from a promising young actor to a Hollywood A-lister was solidified through his poignant performance in “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?” (1993). In this critically acclaimed film, DiCaprio starred alongside Johnny Depp, portraying Arnie Grape, a mentally challenged young man. His commitment to this challenging role was remarkable; he immersed himself in the character by spending days at homes for mentally ill teenagers, capturing their mannerisms with authenticity. DiCaprio's extraordinary performance earned him his first Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor, showcasing his ability to tackle complex and emotionally demanding roles from a young age.
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), officially the U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization, is an initiative of the second Trump administration led by Elon Musk. Despite its name, DOGE is not a Cabinet-level department of the United States government, but a temporary contracted government organization under the United States DOGE Service, formerly known as the United States Digital Service. DOGE's stated purpose is to reduce wasteful and fraudulent federal spending, and eliminate excessive regulations. The organization was created to "modernize federal technology and software to maximize governmental efficiency and productivity" by an executive order by President Donald Trump on January 20, 2025, and is scheduled to end on July 4, 2026.

The past century provides us with three of the greatest villains of all time based on the number of human beings killed. Mao, Stalin, and Hitler used modern technology to murder millions and protect their positions of power. Hitler was probably the oddest case as he used racial purification to justify murder using a corruption of the theory of Eugenics. It is estimated that Mao is responsible for 40-70 million deaths, Stalin 50 million, and Hitler 12 million.
The Roman Empire had its share of villains also. We have seen psychotics like Caligula, Nero, Domitian, and Commodus, sprinkled throughout its history, but with Septimius Severus and his son we reach a new definition of evil and villainy. Here are the father and son.

Nostradamus began his medical career in the early 16th century, a time when the bubonic plague ravaged much of Europe. As a physician, he took a progressive approach to medicine, rejecting the common practices of bloodletting and mercury potions. Instead, he emphasized hygiene and the importance of removing infected corpses from city streets, which contributed significantly to his success in treating plague victims. His innovative thinking led him to create the "rose pill," an herbal lozenge made from rosehips known for its high Vitamin C content, providing relief to patients suffering from the disease. His impressive cure rate established him as a local celebrity in Provence.
This awakening involved intense meditation and a deep dive into mystical practices. Nostradamus would often spend hours in his study, staring into a bowl filled with water and herbs, seeking visions of the future. His experiences during this trance state resulted in profound insights that he later utilized in his prophetic writings. The blending of astrology, herbal medicine, and his unique intuitive abilities became the cornerstone of his prediction methodology. This engagement with the occult signified a shift in his focus from traditional medicine to the mystical arts, laying the groundwork for his later work, including the renowned "Les Prophesies."
Nostradamus experienced significant upheaval in his personal life, particularly following the tragic deaths of his first wife and children. After his initial successes as a physician treating plague victims, he settled into a promising career in Agen, where he married a woman named Anne Ponsarde, a wealthy widow. Together, they had six children—three sons and three daughters. This period marked a turn toward stability and family life for Nostradamus, allowing him to focus on both his medical practices and his burgeoning interest in astrology and prophecy.
Edward Gibbon’s dates were 1737-1794. Born in Surrey, he received a rigorous formal education and served in the English militia during the Seven Years War. After discharge in 1762, Gibbon embarked on a grand tour of Europe, which included a stay in Rome. Seeing the ruins of the Forum captured his imagination and from that moment on he dedicated himself to writing the history of the fall of the Roman Empire. Back in England Gibbon spent time managing his father’s estate and serving in parliament while writing his history. The first volume was published in 1776, volumes three and four by 1781, and the final two volumes appeared in 1787. Interesting to note the coincidence with important American dates. The Decline was immensely popular in its day with the first two volumes selling out three editions.
Alexander Graham Bell was a pioneering Scottish scientist and inventor, born on March 3, 1847, in Edinburgh, Scotland. Best known as the inventor of the first working telephone in 1876, his groundbreaking work fundamentally changed how people communicate. Apart from his renowned invention, Bell was a dedicated advocate for the deaf community, inspired by his mother’s deafness and his family's legacy in voice mechanics. Throughout his life, he held a total of 18 patents and collaborated with Thomas Watson, a skilled electrician, who played a crucial role in turning Bell’s inventions into reality.

Alexander Graham Bell faced numerous legal challenges throughout his career, particularly concerning the invention of the telephone. After he patented his invention in 1876, Bell found himself embroiled in over 550 lawsuits asserting that others had invented the telephone prior to him. These claims prompted lengthy court battles, some of which made their way to the Supreme Court. Despite the overwhelming number of challenges, Bell and his Bell Telephone Company successfully defended his patent rights, maintaining control over his invention and its applications. His vehement pursuit of justice in these cases highlighted both his innovative spirit and determination to protect his life's work.
Despite his professional achievements, Campbell faced personal challenges, including a long battle with Alzheimer's disease.

Initially working at American Music Company, he quickly established himself as a sought-after session guitarist, showcasing his remarkable finger-picking style. His work in the studio involved collaborating with some of the biggest names in the music industry, including Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, and Nat King Cole. This period not only honed Campbell's skills but also allowed him to build a reputation as a versatile musician capable of seamlessly blending into various genres.
Democrats are freaking out over what they argue is an illegal chaotic blitz by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency. Naturally, at least a half-dozen federal agencies and departments are screaming that the billionaire’s assault on government is breaking the law. They seem to gloss over the fact that Trump did not create this out of thin air. Obama made back in 2014 the United States Digital Service a technology unit housed within the Executive Office of the President of the United States. The purpose was to provide consultation services to federal agencies on information technology. Its mandate was to improve and simplify digital service with the explicit directive to streamline and improve federal websites. It was launched on August 11th, 2014.

William Faulkner, born on September 25, 1897, in New Albany, Mississippi, is a seminal figure in American literature, celebrated for his profound narratives that encapsulate the complexities of life in the South. Much of his early writing was poetry; however, he gained fame for his novels, notably set in his fictional Yoknapatawpha County. Notable works include "The Sound and the Fury," "As I Lay Dying," and "Absalom, Absalom!" Faulkner's storytelling often confronted harsh social issues such as race, class, and violence, earning him critical acclaim and a wide readership. His controversial 1931 novel, "Sanctuary," became a turning point in his career, reinforcing his status as a formidable literary voice and resulting in adaptations for the big screen.

Severus ruled for eighteen years while the day Didius Julianus purchased the Roman Empire at auction faded from memory.
In 1949, Faulkner received the Nobel Prize in Literature, a prestigious accolade that recognized him as one of the most influential writers of his time. His subsequent works, including "Collected Stories" and "A Fable," further showcased his ability to capture the intricacies of human experience in the context of the American South. Additionally, his novel "The Reivers," published in 1962, posthumously garnered a second Pulitzer Prize in 1963, solidifying his legacy as a critical figure in American literature. Faulkner's contributions during this period not only articulated the beauty of Southern life but also revealed its underlying complexities, ensuring his place in literary history.
Before doing that we need to review some statistics which will give you a sense of the tenuous nature of the Emperor’s position. There were 58 of them from Augustus to the year 363 A.D, when Jovian died and the empire was split into east and west. Of the 58, 30 were murdered by the army, 4 died of the plague, 2 died in battle, 2 committed suicide, 1 was struck by lightning, and 1 drowned. Great men were rare and weaklings ubiquitous. The army lacked real men – leaders made of the same stuff as them -- so weaklings had to pay them to stay alive. But the army was fickle and might give an emperor the sword because it decided it liked someone else better. My use of the term, army, includes the Praetorian Guard who by their position of honor and proximity to the emperor, played a special role in king making.
William Faulkner’s personal life was marked by both love and tragedy. He married his first love, Estelle Oldham, in 1931 after she divorced her previous husband, Cornell Franklin. Estelle, who held a vibrant personality that initially captivated Faulkner in their youth, became a significant influence in his life and work after their marriage. Their bond deepened over the years, yet faced considerable strain due to Faulkner's emotional complexities and emerging fame. Despite the turbulence, Estelle remained a central figure in his life until his passing, playing a crucial role in supporting his literary endeavors.
The couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named Alabama, shortly after their marriage. Tragically, Alabama was born prematurely and lived only a week. This devastating loss profoundly affected Faulkner, impacting both his personal life and writing. The grief from this experience manifested in his work, as seen in his collection of short stories, These 13, which he dedicated to Estelle and Alabama. Later, they had another daughter, Jill, who was their only surviving child. As a family, they navigated their shared triumphs and sorrows, leaving an indelible mark on Faulkner's literary journey.
Trajan. The inscription on his coin is IMP CAES NER TRIANO OPTIMO AUG GER DAC which means Imperator (emperor) Caesar Nerva (son of) Trajan Best Augustus Germanicus Dacicus. The coin was struck 114 A.D.
Trajan’s legacy is the great column that sits near the Roman Forum, a one hundred foot chronicle of his conquests. His ashes were buried there after his death.
Hadrian. The inscription on his coin is HADRIANUS AUG COS III PP which means Hadrian Augustus Consul Three times Father of his Country (Pater Patriae) The coin was struck between 134-138 A.D.
Beyond book sales, Faulkner's financial success was bolstered by his ventures into screenwriting, where he penned scripts for several films in Hollywood during the 1930s and 1940s. Selling film rights for his controversial work "Sanctuary" contributed significantly to his income. In addition, various adaptations of his literary works have continued to generate revenue long after his death. Thanks to his prolific writing and the lasting impact of his stories, Faulkner carved a niche for himself, balancing a passion for literature with commercial success. His legacy endures, both in the literary world and the financial realm, through numerous adaptations and critical acclaim.
William Clark (1770-1838) was a prominent American explorer known for his significant role in the Lewis and Clark Expedition. This groundbreaking journey, initiated in 1803, aimed to explore the vast territories acquired through the Louisiana Purchase, stretching westward from the Mississippi River. Invited by his friend Meriwether Lewis, Clark shared command of the expedition, which lasted over two years and covered more than 8,000 miles. His skills as a soldier, outdoorsman, and exceptional mapmaker were invaluable in navigating the uncharted landscapes of the American West and establishing communication with various Indigenous nations along the route.
Clark received a blend of formal and informal education during his youth, which included both learning the fundamentals of reading and writing and acquiring practical skills essential for survival in the wilderness. This comprehensive upbringing enabled him to develop a keen interest in the natural world. His experiences in the military further expanded his knowledge, shaping his abilities as an outdoorsman and a leader. When he resigned from the army in 1796, he took on the management of his family estate, but his adventurous spirit and desire for exploration would soon lead him to embark on his most significant journey with Lewis in the great unknown westward territories.

In his post-expedition life, Clark's appointment as governor of the Missouri Territory further established his status and provided him with a steady income. His active participation in local governance and Indian affairs represented a critical role in a rapidly developing region. Additionally, Clark inherited family property and managed land interests, contributing to his overall financial well-being. While historical records do not provide specific estimates of his net worth, his positions and commissions suggest that he enjoyed a comfortable lifestyle in the years following his acclaimed journey.

Marcus Aurelius. The inscription on is coin is M ANTONIUS AUG IMP II which means Marcus Antonius Augustus Imperator II. The coin was struck 162 A.D.
When Marcus Aurelius became Caesar in 161 A.D. he named his brother Lucius Verus as an equal and designated him as co-Caesar and Augustus. As peaceful as the reign of Antonius Pius was, we find the opposite in the reign of Marcus, as if the gods were blocking him from pursuing his life’s calling as a peacemaker. Immediately there were attacks in the east and the north followed by invasions and plague. Verus, showing himself a worthy partner, fought the Parthians from 162-166 A.D. but then his troops brought the plague home with them. The emperors went north to fight the Germans in 168 but Verus died of a stroke in 169.

They helped save thousands of Jewish lives, but were later blacklisted by the U.S. Treasury for financial dealings with the Nazis. So, how did the Wallenbergs become the secret rulers of Sweden? How do they keep their

Outside Capua they had to good luck to come upon wagons loaded with weapons meant for gladiators in another city so they were able to arm themselves. Spartacus was elected the chief of three captains. It’s possible the other two were Crixus and Oenomaus.
After defeating the Romans who were pursuing them out of Capua, the rebels were able to substitute Roman weapons for their gladiator weapons, which they considered dishonorable. First attacked by the praetor Clodius on a mountain (Vesuvius?), Spartacus’ men were able to escape to the other side, circle around, attack, and defeat the Roman force. After this battle, the rebel force grew stronger though the recruitment of sympathetic allies.

After arriving at the Italian toe, Crassus orders that a wall be build across the isthmus to prevent a rebel escape. The resulting wall is 37 miles long!
Most of us have a sense of the relationship between the Roman Republic and the government of the United States. For example, our Senate is named for the senior legislative body of the ancient republic. But there is more to the relationship than names as you will see below as we describe how the founders viewed ancient political systems in their efforts to fashion a government for America.
The founders of our country were educated men. Most could read Latin and Greek -- most had studied the history of governments and were well versed in ancient history. The Romans stood out as their chosen model for a political system, not the Greeks. The Athenian and Spartan systems were seen as inappropriate for the new country – the former because it gave too much power to the people and the latter because it operated in a non-economic model (a closed society with no trade).

The agrarian view, popular in the south, held that a prosperous socio-economic system would create wealth and happiness for all, resulting in a stable and long lasting political system. If a man owned land, he would be free from the trials of life which could cause him to be impoverished. This philosophy was dovish in its militancy – believing that a landowning class was a kind of utopia that did not need to protect itself from decay.
As the convention opened, delegates were faced with the decision of how best to adapt the Roman system to a modern Unites States.
