Some major Graeco-Roman authors include Caesar, Strabo, Pomporius Mela, Pliny, Athenaeus, Tacitus, Dio Cassius, Diodorus Siculus, Ammianus Marcellinus and Lucan. 7 Although this evidence carries more weight with its detailed inscriptions and manuscripts, these classical writers could have held biases spurred by personal beliefs.

Mother Breast Feeds Anthropological Theory An Introductory History Yanomamo
1,108 wordsI looked up and gasped when I saw a dozen burly, naked, filthy, hideous men staring at us down the shafts of their drawn arrows!

Sites with Arthurs name in them abound and, taken together, would probably cover the expanse of the isle of B...
