Post #2

The year is 146 B.C., I have been commanding a seige on the city of Carthage, and we have finnaly won! Carthage is in ruin, and their feilds have been sewn with salt to prevent them from coming back for years on end. I have also just finished selling all of Carthage's people in to slavery for quite a large amount of money.

    DO YOU CENTER YOUR LIFE AROUND SELLING SLAVES!?! WHAT KIND OF INHUMANE CREATURE ARE YOU!?! and you don't bother to give credit to anyone other than yourself.... you probably just gave orders and restrained from physical activity. What a true patrician of you! This just shows the terrible judgement of under age tribunes!

    I do not center my life around selling slaves, perhaps if the Carthaginians would have surrendered; I wouldn't have sold them. And by the way, I do not have terrible judgement. If I did then why did I capture Carthage when no one else could?

    Alas, for I died in 149 BC, right before the Third Punic War. Ego doleo...

    True, you do have a point I suppose since you did what the other generals couldn't I do have to congratulate you.So many attempts were made and you finally settled the battle.

    Galley Slave, I have an idea of where you are coming from. He also believes that women should spend their lives as house-mothers. Ha! To think that women should just spend their lives as house-mothers...insane! Absolutly unbelievable. One should treat Vestals with more respect, we are very influencial you know.
