An Historical Perspective
|
Been doing a bit of reading on the Punic Wars. It seems that the Carthaginians were mainly interested in business, helling around and having a good time. The Romans, on the other hand, lived hard, frugal lives and practiced the Latin virtues of gravitas, pietas, simplicitas, and adultery.
War was inevitable. Boru
‘But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods or no gods. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.’ - Thomas Jefferson
