Tiberius, on his mother, Livia: They say a snake bit her once...and died.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!'

If I only had a brain...
The lettering on the Trajan Column is one of the great achievements of humanity. Beautiful, beautiful work.

Punishingly Intricate
The one I saw looked like C-Span BC. Might have to watch another one.
