As I embark on wading through the hundreds of items I have to catch up on, I figured we could all warm up by putting our pedantic hats on and watching this video, which just appeared yesterday:
Generally, it’s not bad, but number 2 and number 3 are rather silly (on Caesarian births (on which see here and here) and on the origins of the word ‘trivia’ (Wikipedia is good on this)) … so I guess 8 out of the 10 are okay (but there are quibbles with some of them as well)
Fascinating. I’m been fan of Roman Trivia for years!
And for those who want to know a little bit more about Rome…
Take a peek at these charming songs…
Gladiator (“You Know I’m No Good” by Amy Winehouse)
Julius Caesar (“Besame Mucho” by the Beatles)
Viva Roma No. V (“Mambo #5” by Lou Bega)
Hannibal (“Sixteen Tons” by Anna Domino)
Enjoy!
