#7 Lunch Special: Rome, Sweet Rome!

from Cubicle Comrades · host CubicleComrades

Apparently, men are constantly thinking about ancient Rome. In this episode, Michelle does them one better and talks about life in the Roman Empire.   *Michelle's Corrections Corner* (bc she was tired and got some stuff wrong)  Commodus was definitely NOT a part of the Julio-Claudian Dynasty. Don't know what my tired brain was thinking. He was actually part of the Nervan-Antonine Dynasty and ended the line of the 'Five Good Emperors' (and yes I don't count Lucius Verus. There. I said it!)  The Swiss Guard at the Vatican is only recruited from single Catholic Swiss men who have completed basic training with the Swiss Armed Forces. The Little Timmy I knew stood no chance to get in. Also. it's likely the gentleman from Goa was a Vatican docent of some sort. Good dude!

Mason The Four Feathers is a 1902 adventure novel by British writer A.E.W. Mason that has inspired many films of the same title. The novel tells the story of British officer, Harry Feversham, who resigns his commission in the East Surrey Regiment just prior to Sir Garnet Wolseley's 1882 expedition to Egypt to suppress the rising of Urabi Pasha. He is faced with censure from three of his comrades for cowardice, signified by the delivery of three white feathers to him, from Captain Trench and Lieutenants Castleton and Willoughby, and the loss of the support of his Irish fiancée, Ethne Eustace, who presents him with the fourth feather. His best friend in the regiment, Captain Durrance becomes his rival for Ethne. Sunday Sermons Crossroads Church Welcome to our Crossroads Church podcast!
