my most cherished memory of my first dog? when he was a puppy his tail got shut in the car door, we opened it right away but he started crying and whimpering. I cradled him in my arms until he calmed down. it's the closest I ever felt to him and only realized it when he passed a few years back.

imagine a rich Roman estate in italy in AD 240, imagine a similar Roman estate in 240 BCE. How (if in any way) would they likely look different?

In Gladiator Maximus's black friend says he was a hunter back in Namibia and the implication is that’s normal where he comes from. Were the Kush anymore reliant on hunting then the other urban societies near the Mediterranean in classical times?
