He was going to be such a great general too!!

Pretty unlucky, some of these stories...
Unlucky and also funny.. hahaha :grin:

Strangely enough, my oldest general is 106. He's never gone out of his city in southern Italy, and he's still alive.

His little retirement villa must've had a very very nice vineyard. 'Tis said wine is good for the health.

But, now... Nicomedia to Vicus Gepidae (DDD)?!?!? That means going through Gibraltar O_o ...the hey?!

Yeah, I know I'm kinda late since the last post was in 2005, but I was goin through some old posts and found this.
One of my Scipii generals died when he was 16 - he was assassinated the turn after he had come of age.
My oldest was also the Scipii- 110 years, I think.
