I saw a History channel show about the conquest of Gaul, the Romans would be seen as evil today.

Apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?

Heh... the Gauls would also be seen as evil... and the Etruscans... and the Carthaginians... and the Greeks... and the Persians...

Heh... that’s in reference to post-Roman Gaul, upon the death of Charlemagne.

Paving stones are important to the curb appeal of a home. The shoe nail needs to go.......sand would work better. I’m going to go out on a limb here, sunkenciv, but I estimate that a young barbarian couple would be willing to pay........20 cows for this charming rancher that really shows pride of ownership!

Great PX they got there at that Roman military camp.....
“Whaddya got to drink?”
“Shoe nails.”
“Better’n rocks, I guess. Gimme a six-pack of shoe nails.”

I guess it was standard military practice to slaughter entire cities, not just the Romans.

"I guess it was standard military practice to slaughter entire cities, not just the Romans." I think the Romans usually tried to avoid that kind of waste. Julius Caesar sold thousands of Gauls into slavery after the battle of Alesia and became extremely wealthy because of it.
