More history -

Year 27:

Fire in Rome.

A poorly-built stadium in Fidenae collapses, killing 20,000 of the 50,000 spectators. funny how people glorifying the construction of Rome and the "superior methods of the ancients" sort of gloss over incidents like this...[X(] [:D]

Apricots are brought to Rome from Asia.

An Arc of triumph is erected in Rimini, in honor of Augustus.

Baptism of Jesus, according to one dating scheme.

BTW guys - good going on overtaking and surpassing the anti-thread!!!

it was a nervewracking 48* hours in surpassing them when we had to start from scratch... [:D]

(*Actually, more like 12 from when the anti-thread awoke from its death-like sleep)...

TODAY'S NIK SIGHTING:

Well, that's Nik GFU... so i **THINK** that's Nik... [&:]

[rtrapasso]

Oh my, the THREAD has been left completely unguarded!!!

[rtrapasso]

Who is supposed to be on guard duty?? Must be a Euro, i think...

[rtrapasso]

Such an oversight... surely heads will roll if someone completes a faber...

[rtrapasso]

Fortunately, i am here to prevent anyone else from completing a faber!!!

[rtrapasso]

i mean, it would be BAD for someone to complete another faber...

[rtrapasso]

That would make 3 in 24 hours!!! [X(] [X(] Unprescedented!!

[rtrapasso]

Oh, my, it seems we have gotten to a new page... well, that will prevent anyone from doing a faber for a while...

[rtrapasso]

Er.... anyone ELSE from doing a faber, that is...

[rtrapasso]

Has anyone actually done a faber two days in a row??? [&:]

[rtrapasso]

On separate attempts... i mean, i guess a double faber or greater would qualify, but that would be one attempt...

[rtrapasso]

No, i don't think anyone has accomplished it in any of the 3 Threads...

[rtrapasso]

Hey - Three Threads... a Trinity!!! Wow!!!![X(] [X(]

[rtrapasso]

That's probably really sacrilegious (or however that's spelled) to some... best avoid that...

[rtrapasso]

Ok - how about some history then??

Pretty slim pickings...

Year 28:

The Frisians are able to form a treaty with the Romans at the River Rhine, avoiding conquest.

King Daru of Baekje succeeded the throne of Baekje in Korean peninsula.
