Ovid Masticulate/the Black Sea Cafe

The Dacians fought with the scythe-like falx, a tactic the Romans countered by giving their legionaries complete leg armour, not just a pair of grieves and more body armour too. (as you can see, history fascinates me) Ovid was yet another victim of Nero, one of the most heartless tyrants in history (and apparantly black as his name suggests). Any tyrant is cruel, just look at Blair!?! Heartlessly exiling poets to the nether slums of Brighton, often without adequate heating, blankets or rations of marzipan. His epitaph speaks volumes: here I Paulus Murphicus feverishly ate the nutted gizzards of mice and quite depopulated the local rat population. Please give me more Danegeld....
"Yes, Ovid is dead in Tomis, his statue of Constanta and his epitaph are very expressive: Hic ego qui iaceo/tenerorum lusor amorum/ingenio perii/Naso poeta meo. At tibi, qui transis, nec sit grave quisquis amasti/ dicere Nasonis/moliter ossa cubent. To Russia & Rome: I don't know, I don't believe. The eastern frontier of Rome's empire was in Dacia felix (Romania).
