I’m an ancient historian. I post a lot of quotes from the ancients, direct from my primary sources - what we historians refer to as our “history bibles.” . Red for the Romans - Green for the Greeks. Known as the Loeb Classical Library, published by Harvard University Press.

She breezes into Australia with an overblown ego and believes with all her being that she is better than us, therefore can order us around like we are dirt under her feet. This woman would make Nero blush.
Australian search engine users will face mandatory age checks by the end of the year under a new online safety code developed by eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant.

The West has allowed itself to be devoured through an inane belief in tolerance.
When Roman and barbarian became indistinguishable, Rome fell. Now, take a good look at the West today.

Creative work is always in the eye of the beholder. The state of life’s forces at any given time affect what and how we work - in my case as a writer. History provides us with an endless supply of material with which to work, and our contemporary times provide the palette upon.
