    Mike Duncan Bravo, Bravo. I don't know your background but you should be a history Prof or teacher. You really give some great insight into Roman History. I would Love to see you do a series on Ancient Egypt.
  • Always pay your mercenaries lol. Especially considering theyre now all battle hardened veterans that have been fighting for years
