    That is true, I myself am one of those

    But remember not all of us are historian professors, like myself I enjoy history. Stuff I know about ancient times are based to my school education, many tv documents (what gives only basics of show's current subject), and few "light" history books. I would consider myself as amateur historian, with knowledge of most basics but if you ask anything that goes beyond surface such as how some armies fought, diplomacy or even some basics I am not too familiar, I quickly put my finger to my mouth and try to evade question

    Well... I have always liked history, no matter what period. I only wish that many great books that inrest me will be translated to my language

    Thanks for EB team correcting me and other people. As EB members have shown, misunderstoods in history, corrections etc. can be done politely without mocking person who was wrong. Thanks again for mod, and of course for educating me

    If you'd like to read more on the Samnite wars Livy records the narrative (although the accuracy of his narrative is always in question). You can access it online here: http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin...ayout=;loc=4.6

    Books 8 through 10.
