another area that was green and fertile way back
That’s the wrong title, I forgot to change it after my first attempt was not welcome on FR (source was, not just the article).
Oh. That explains. I thought I had taken a wrong turn at Albuquerque because I got directions from a rabbit...

“the year 500 CE”
Is that BC or AD? The writer must be a Democrat./s
CE means “Common Era” and is the same as AD
Example: 2012 CE is 2012 AD
BCE means “Before Common Era” and is the same as BC
Example: 500 BCE is 500 BC
Just another way for the enlightened to remove Christ from the conversation.
It would be much more accurate to use the Jewish calendar, but we can’t have everything. ;’)
‘Earlier scholars had previously imagined that the Roman town of Interamna Lirenas was something of a sleepy backwater, but the large marketplace and theatre instead suggest that, in fact, it was a bustling economic and social centre in its own right... ‘
Those dang scholars are drinking the same water as scientists. It causes one to imagine many things that are not so.
Sorry, but I won't read anything that says, "BCE." As a Christian and an historian, I'm deeply offended.
Those crazy leftists only care about the Cairo-Rome Axis and everything else is flyover country
So, Rome had a 'burning man' event just prior to collapse?
Now something serious. How are all these towns covered up? I thought it took millions of years to make 1 inch of topsoil.
I have no clue
I appreciate what you're saying but... no. It is not the same thing.
I always like to ask the libtards who champion this date scheme "What event marks the line between BCE and CE?" It's fun.
The winds of time blow sand, dust, dirt at a rate of a few feet every hunderd or so years; a prime example of this can be found in Isreal when visiting the Crusader Castles. You can see how during unoccupied periods between Crusades that the sand built up and when the next group came into the fortifications, they literally built up from that level a newer and higher level, which was done a total of three times.
BUMP what you said. Same here.
We (real) Americans told the atheist Democrats and their global socialist community to go play with themselves when they tried to convert America to the metric system 20 years ago, so I can't understand why so many Americans rolled over when these same atheists came back and dumped centuries of tradition and forced this "common era" crap down their throats.
“What event marks the line between BCE and CE?”
Simply brilliant
Maybe it’s just me but I don’t see any identification for the image. That can’t be the town. A theater or forum perhaps?
So, if you don’t, how did you know it was in the text?
