My title could also be: “What Happens When a People Forget Their History.” In Ancient Rome, shortly after the Flavian Emperors began their dynasty (circa A.D. 80), the Roman government began to come down very hard on other peoples.

Ana of Chica&Pumuckl tagged me with a picture meme! I am so excited, I haven’t done a meme in so long. I know some folks don’t like memes (they can be a chore sometimes), but I rather like them. So Ana, thank you for thinking of me. I’d been wanting to do a meme. Here are [...]
