Re: Maracanda and Alexandria Margiana
Greetings Marcus,
Enjoyed your photos. Nice capture on the Silk Road Memorial and the Akhal Tekes- clearly showed their unique traits, even the "razor withers" <chuckling>. When do we get to read more of your adventures?

Re: Need your opinions on adding Sub forums.
Greetings, While I understand the desire for sub-forums, I would like us to consider the potential need for increased moderation. I can see, especially under "Greek/Macedonian" history, a possible plethora of problems involving modern history, the Makedonians versus Macedonians debate, mod...

Adding to Pothos
Greetings All, I like the suggestion of additional topics; the idea of illustrating various articles with photos and videos (?) would be excellent, especially if they *could* be connected to specific elements in each article.. Additional articles on various characters would also be a nice touch, jus...

Greetings Paralus and Marcus, Thank you for bringing up Arrian. I was trying to recall the passages that might have led to someone considering an older age for the pages; Curtius stood out for that. This discussion is another good example of the difficulties that arise when modern values or percepti...

Age of Pages
