Yes, the Gallic army of Brennus that spent 7 months killing and plundering in Rome certainly tarnished the good name of the noble Gallic army... of Brennus that spent 7 months killing and plundering in Rome. :laugh:

And you're absolutely right that after seeing the coverage of CNN Ancient of the events of Brennus's siege, there was very little appetite for war in the ancient world for a very long time. Which of course made the subsequent Roman conquest of Italy and, later, the Mediterranean coast so much easier. "Hey, you wanna join our Republic/Empire?" - "Yeah, alright." :D And how surprised was Alexander when he marched into Persia, ready for glorious battle, only to hear the Great King's envoy say "Take what you want. We don't much fancy a conflict, after what happened in Rome" :laugh:

How many people have posted SPAM on this forum and not been sanctioned by the Moderators?

Ah, the cowards are at it again. This time with the inarticulate comment of "git." It must be painful to be so ignorant and have such a limited vocabulary. However it is amusing to read what this particular twit thinks is an anonymous comment.

Studiose, your knowledge of that era is to be commended!!!

I think....maybe you are pulling my leg....I am going to have a nap now, I think this thread just deralied itself...

Another negative REP for this post. I wonder who could have done it?

To all of the F.F.L.s, Antis, Flamers, those attacking Mark, Gannex, etc, Will Rogers said, "Actions speak louder than word, just not very often."

In the 2004 Presidential Election, I was the ninth busiest grass roots worker supporting the re-election of President Bush. Check out the archives on www.gop.org -- I use the same id as here. I held more parties and fund raisers than all but eight other people in the United States. My parties and fund raisers brought in more than $10,000,000.

In the off-year 2006 Election, I hosted functions and events to support the reelection of State Representative Ellyn Bogdanoff. Thanks in part to our efforts, she defeated her challenger 55% to 45%.

To all of the F.F.L.s, Antis, Flamers, those attacking Mark, Gannex, etc, match me.

Wow! How about throwing a party for me? I'm easy, I'd settle for a couple of hundred thousand.

Contact me offline with the details of the office you're planning to run for, and have your Party Chairman talk to me. We're already working on the 2009 Mayoral election, when term limits bounce Jim Naugle out of office. Will it be Christine Teel, Tim Smith, or ????

That tears it, Agwiii, you can adopt me, if you can raise that sort of money to get someone elected!!
