      Dunno why. The Roman Empire will be going strong for at least another 1000 years, thanks to the invention of lead water pipes.

(The other one, not the Quinty as we affectionately like to call him.)

    Our 2 young Oxen should be strong enough this year to carry the plough on their own, so old Till can go to the Butcher. Everything is already planed, after lent is over and the tithes are paid, I’ll supply another 5th for a wedding, the rest is stored for next winter.

    We’ve started the Middle Ages? You mean all that awfulness was just the Beginning Ages? Blimey.

    The emperor has been buying Christian slaves by the hundreds. Surely the Coliseum floor will run red with blood!

    I can’t wait for the Roman Empire to collapse. The climate is changing, rural people are poor and discontent. It’s all bullshit and we’ve been sold a lie by the imperial elites When they finally stop manipulating our local economy we can bring manufacturing back to Britain.

    (Seriously though, manufacturing collapsed, but peasant skeletons got healthier in the centuries after the collapse of the Western Roman Empire. It makes you wonder.)

    The Spanish haven’t shown up yet. It’s just tribe vs. tribe right now and we’re feeling warlike, strong and fit, it’s going to be a great year!
