Those where they days, eh? 

The Arab Monopoly on the spice trade was broken.

We had 10, frickin' 10 aqueducts bringing in water.

We got our cross-plowing on.

Kinda sucks we lost two emperors, the farm district got hit with malaria, and Gaius Valerius Flaccus died, though...

    Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
    "Forum" as in the Roman Forum.

    “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    I wonder how many years it'll be until the Goths come down and top us all. At this rate...

    I'm moving to Byzantium. Don't want my kids growing up in this place.

    Let's all make fun of our parents who grew up in the 60s watching Emperor Nero shows.

    Apparently this John fellow has written that spice is going to be one of the excesses that lead's to Romes downfall. 

    Pffft, like Rome could ever fall.

    It's a bit like Cynicism, in some ways. But it's not that simple.

    Guys guys! My weird Christian cousin just finished writing his prophecies. There's something about a seven-headed monster and the return of that executed criminal Christians are named after.

    I couldn't make heads or tails of it.

    *reads*

    It's a metaphor, man. It's about the moral triumph of Christianity over modern society. Kind of weird. Real cult stuff. Like the part with the seals and the dragon, though. Very old school.
