Course not, that's why they stole everything that has the prefix theo- from the Greeks.

The Romans didn't steal, they conquered. There is a difference. A thief steals, an empire conquers.

Hath is just being a scrooge*.

*Not to say that his claims don't have a very good basis, but I do think he's being a bit pessimistic about it. Then again, he's been here longer than I have. And I'm not really in it for the contest, I'm in it for the cam whoring.

I'm a Roman history nut. I'd wager I'm almost as crazy about Rome as CM is.
The Romans stole. They ransacked and pillaged and plagiarized. Believe me, the Romans might not have been barbarians, but they were barbaric.

Bull. The Roman Religion was highly complex, with a myriad of deities and legends that are completely unique to Roman society. However the Religio was highly orthopraxic, with lead to a deficiency in matters of religious theory, atleast in what has been passed down to us. All I can find is some Stoic and Neoplatonist writings. Not that they're not good, of course, but it can be especially difficult sometimes. And my online translation of On the Gods and Cosmos is I suspect incomplete. Plutarch is still pretty good though.

They were an ironic group of people. Still, I love the Romans, even if they are gone.

1.5 Gbs left until I can play Skyrim. At this rate I will be able to play it for 10 minutes before church tomorrow. On a related note I hate whoever doles out the alter server assignments as my little brother has to do the 7:30 mass. Which means I can't sleep in nor get up super early. Plus Chriuch is always overflowing at Christmas.
