  In 27 BC, when Augustus turned into the first sovereign of the Roman Empire, introducing the supreme period, the country he governed was more than 700 years of age. Rome's rulers had controlled an immense region that stretched out into northern Europe, parts of Africa, and Asia for quite a long time. The city of Rome was the most delightful and refined on the planet. It was filled with parks and gardens, marble curves and sculptures, lavish royal residences, immense amphitheaters, and rambling colleges. All were connected by an unpredictable organization of streets furthermore water-bearing reservoir conduits. Rome was a focal point of world culture as the capital of the most impressive country on Earth. By AD 98, majestic Rome arrived at its most extreme size, becoming the most significant realm ever. The vast domain contained around 60 million individuals, or around one-fourth of Earth's populace. Romans, who spoke Latin, alluded to their properties as the imperium sine fine, or "domain without end." The realm extended through the advanced countries of Spain, France, England, Netherlands, and Germany. It incorporated quite a bit of eastern Europe, including Slovenia, Romania, Armenia, and what's more, Croatia. The domain without end spread across North Africa from Morocco to Egypt and east into Turkey, Syria, and Iraq. Every one of the regions was joined under the Roman principle, wherever the official language was Latin. All over the place, installments were made in sestertii (Roman brass coins). All over, there was just a single law: Roman law.Most Roman subjects lived in separated ancestral networks where life had changed minimally in millennia. Provincial Romans chased, fished, developed small harvests, and tended domesticated animals. During the royal period, London and Paris were minimal more than a few military stations with less than 8,000 individuals. A considerable lot of the inhabitants were Roman officers called legionnaires. In any case, the realm a

  The Last Assassin - The Hunt for...

  Many men killed Julius Caesar. Only one man was determined to kill the killers. From the spring of 44 BC through one of the most dramatic and influential periods in history, Caesar's adopted son, Octavian, the future Emperor Augustus, exacted vengeance on the assassins of the Ides of March, not only on Brutus and Cassius, immortalized by Shakespeare, but all the others too, each with his own individual story. 
   
   
   
  The last assassin left alive was one of the lesser-known: Cassius Parmensis was a poet and sailor who chose every side in the dying Republic's civil wars except the winning one, a playwright whose work was said to have been stolen and published by the man sent to kill him. Parmensis was in the back row of the plotters, many of them Caesar's friends, who killed for reasons of the highest political principles and lowest personal piques. For fourteen years he was the most successful at evading his hunters but has been barely a historical foot note—until now. 
   
   
   
  The Last Assassin dazzlingly charts an epic turn of history through the eyes of an unheralded man. It is a history of a hunt that an emperor wanted to hide, of torture and terror, politics and poetry, of ideas and their consequences, a gripping story of fear, revenge, and survival.

  Out of Place Artifacts is a fascinating subject. There are too many of these unusual objects for them to be fakes. I’ve already written several books on this subject including “Strange Objects Which Should Not Exist”, “More Out of Place Objects”, and “A 300 Million Year Old Civilization Existed on Earth”. 
   In this book I’ve compiled everything I could find out about these unusual finds from my prior three books and additional research. 54 artifacts are covered in detail. 
   I’ve included all of this information except that specifically related to Aliens and UFOs since that information is in my books on those topics. 
   The information here is presented in five parts: 
   Part A: Artifacts Found in Historical Times 
  Part B: Very Ancient Objects to Millions of Years Old 
  Part C: A Civilization 300 Million Years Ago 
  Part D: Human Footprints in Rock 
  Part E: Artifacts of Undetermined Ages 
   I hope you find all of this information as interesting as I do since it changes our understanding of the history of our planet in incredible ways.
