Not really. I doubt the antics of Ms Vaughan Spruce make national news headlines. And those living and working in and around the clinic most likely consider her to be nothing but a nuisance.Originally posted by SparkoDidn't make national news headlines? What are you even talking about? It made INTERNATIONAL headlines.
Now if the police didn't overreact then perhaps she would not have gotten the publicity she did. We may never have heard of her.Originally posted by Hypatia_Alexandria View PostYes but it was somewhat brief. She is not the leading news story day in and day out.

Completely contradicted your earlier allegation concerning Spartacus that:
Originally posted by Hypatia_Alexandria View PostIn that same thread you demonstrated total ignorance concerning the army as it was reorganised, standardised, and reformed, including its auxiliary units, under Augustus and the way auxiliary troops were used during the Republic. [T]abibito made a similar error where he wrote this:
Aren't you glad you exhumed this?
Originally posted by Hypatia_Alexandria View PostThereby manifesting his complete ignorance that auxiliary troops had been used by, for example, Julius Caesar.
That was quite the startling position for a self-proclaimed "academic historian" to take. One that flies directly in the face of all of the evidence and puts you as an extreme outlier.
Aren't you glad you exhumed this?
Originally posted by Hypatia_Alexandria View PostYour own gaffes dealing with the auxila and army during the Republic and early Principate were very entertaining and you even succeeded in contradicting yourself over the course of our exchanges:
And as previously noted, earlier you never challenged the evidence that those in the Roman army were or became citizens, but rather Spartacus was in the army or in the auxillia. Florus, indicates it was the former. Whether or not he is correct is unknown although he is in at least part backed up by Appian.
So, once again, your argument is with the ancient Roman historians.

Nor did I make any comment regarding that thread! You, on the other hand, could not resist

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostLooks like a simple mistake of writing auxilia instead of army when the topic resurfaced two years later, particularly given the number of times I made the distinction.
Originally posted by rogue06 View PostThat was yet another instance of your compulsion to try to show "I knows stuff"
One has to know stuff in order to understand the history and the historical context.

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostMoreover, it was yet again one of your instances when you mistakenly conflate events many decades apart as being contemporaneous -- something you as a "historian" frequently do. Much like finding out that William Tell wasn't a real person it is apparent that you thought Augustus' reforms, which took place in the final decades of the B.C. era, somehow had anything to do with Spartacus, who had died over a half century earlier.
Aren't you glad you exhumed this?
You mean the man who you have repeatedly claimed never invaded much less conquered Gaul?

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostNice job of repeating my simple mistake of writing auxilia instead of army when the topic resurfaced two years later. I guess that's necessary when you want to point out all of my mistakes and you couldn't find very many.
