[QUOTE="SHARK, post: 277377, member: 1131"] Greetings! I agree mmadsen.:) I think though that Caesar, as opposed to Hitler, Stalin, et. al. didn't have any particular racist, tyrannical, or ideological axes to grind, in particular. Unlike Hitler and so on. If Caesar didn't do what he did, either some other Roman would have stepped up and done it, thus securing Rome, or Rome's enemies would have devoured them--like the Sammnites, the Greeks, the Carthaginians,--as well as the Celts, and so on.:) One must remember that the Celts actually conquered and plundered Rome, in about 360 B.C. if I recall. The Roman leader begged the Celtic Chieftain that Rome could spare no more treasure, and the Celtic Chief sternly gazed at him, and cast his great sword roughly across the scales, and declared "Woe to the Conquered!"--meaning, either pay up the million pounds of gold demanded, or die. The Romans paid the price.:) The Romans never forgot that lesson, and they burned for vengeance. When the time came, --unlike the Celts who chose not to stay and conquer--a fatal mistake on their part--the Romans, led by Caesar, they kicked ass and took names--and they came to stay. Permanently.:) Semper Fidelis, SHARK [/QUOTE]
