I like the plot line.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Thomas M HopkinsGreat A refugee from the marauding Turks, Casca takes shelter in beleaguered Constantinople where he is soon recruited by a desperate emperor to travel to the savage tartar lands of the Golden Horde to negotiate a treaty with the Mongols so they can save the shrinking Byzantine Empire.Casca’s journey does not end there, though, for he seeks a mighty warlord who can unite the fractured tribes of High Asia and thus destroy the rising power of the Ottoman Turks. The eternal mercenary crosses the Caspian Sea, accompanied by a beautiful slave girl, Adil, to the lands of Transoxiana. There, he finds himself drawn to the armies of Timur the Lame, one of many competing warriors struggling to unite their own clan in the face of Moghul aggression.Under Casca’s guiding hand, Timur slowly rises, defeating his enemies one after the other, until he becomes feared throughout the merciless lands of Asia. Casca’s mission to save Byzantium is always in his mind, however, and no matter how many enemies rear their head, he is determined to steer an increasingly bloodthirsty Timur to turn on the powerful Ottomans.

Calendar of Roman Events
Introduction Steve Worboys and I began this calendar in 1980 or 1981 when we discovered that the exact dates of many events survive from Roman antiquity, the most famous being the ides of March murder of Caesar. Flipping through a few books on Roman history revealed a handful of dates, and we believed that to fill every day of the year would certainly be impossible. From 1981 until 1989 I kept the calendar, adding dates as I ran across them. In 1989 I typed the list into the computer and we began again to plunder books and journals for dates, this time recording sources. Since then I have worked and reworked the Calendar, revising old entries and adding many, many more. The Roman Calendar The calendar was reformed twice, once by Caesar in 46 BC and later by Augustus in 8 BC. Each of these reforms is described in A. K. Michels’ book The Calendar of the Roman Republic. In an ordinary pre-Julian year, the number of days in each month was as follows: 29 January 31 May 29 September 28 February 29 June 31 October 31 March 31 Quintilis (July) 29 November 29 April 29 Sextilis (August) 29 December. The Romans did not number the days of the months consecutively. They reckoned backwards from three fixed points: The kalends, the nones, and the ides. The kalends is the first day of the month. For months with 31 days the nones fall on the 7th and the ides the 15th. For other months the nones fall on the 5th and the ides on the 13th.

In but Not of the Revolution: Loyalty, Liberty, and the British Occupation of Philadelphia
IN BUT NOT OF THE REVOLUTION: LOYALTY, LIBERTY, AND THE BRITISH OCCUPATION OF PHILADELPHIA A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Aaron Sullivan May 2014 Examining Committee Members: David Waldstreicher, Advisory Chair, Department of History Susan Klepp, Department of History Gregory Urwin, Department of History Judith Van Buskirk, External Member, SUNY Cortland © Copyright 2014 by Aaron Sullivan All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT A significant number of Pennsylvanians were not, in any meaningful sense, either revolutionaries or loyalists during the American War for Independence. Rather, they were disaffected from both sides in the imperial dispute, preferring, when possible, to avoid engagement with the Revolution altogether. The British Occupation of Philadelphia in 1777 and 1778 laid bare the extent of this popular disengagement and disinterest, as well as the dire lengths to which the Patriots would go to maintain the appearance of popular unity. Driven by a republican ideology that relied on popular consent in order to legitimate their new governments, American Patriots grew increasingly hostile, intolerant, and coercive toward those who refused to express their support for independence. By eliminating the revolutionaries’ monopoly on military force in the region, the occupation triggered a crisis for the Patriots as they saw popular support evaporate. The result was a vicious cycle of increasing alienation as the revolutionaries embraced ever more brutal measures in attempts to secure the political acquiescence and material assistance of an increasingly disaffected population. The British withdrawal in 1778, by abandoning the region’s few true loyalists and leaving many convinced that American Independence was now inevitable, shattered what little loyalism remained in the region and left the revolutionaries secure in their control of the state.

Issue No. 7, Vol 14, April-June 2020
UBC DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY NEWSLETTER anthropology NEWS Summer 2020 VOLUME 14, ISSUE 7, 2020 Academic Year End Message from the Department Head, Dr. Alexia Bloch As we wrap up this academic year and look toward the next I am inspired by the resilience, resourcefulness and sense of community among faculty, students, & staff in the Department of Anthropology. Our year was defined by the familiar rhythm of academic rituals and annual professional events. The year began with a transition of Headship in the Department. November brought the joint CASCA-AAA meetings to our city for the first time and with these we had a chance to showcase Vancouver, UBC, and our Department. Early in the year we also bid farewell to Prof. Pokotylo as he retired from the University after 40 years. Now, as the year concludes, we say goodbye to three more colleagues who are retiring after decades of service, teaching, and research; Profs. Shaw, Barker, and Blake have been integral to UBC’s intellectual community. We look forward to marking our colleagues’ rites of passage and celebrating their contributions face-to-face, hopefully in spring 2021. Just as the academic year was winding down our classroom learning, research, and broader intellectual pursuits were thrown into disarray. In mid-March with the onset of a global pandemic of Covid-19, UBC, like institutions of higher education across the world, turned to online teaching. This “pivot” in such a short time on the part of faculty, staff, graduate and undergraduate students was truly heroic. The university announced the switch on a Friday afternoon, and by the following Monday we had all moved into a new virtual reality.
