    Sometimes when I'm scouting out a map in Single-Player Custom mode, I'll see some familar names in the results.

    For Carthage, I've had Hannibal.

    For Macedon, I've had Alexander.

    I can't think of anymore off the top of my head though

In view of our divine essence, we need only liberty and work; in view of our mortal nature, we need for our direction a guide and a support. A government is not then, as a distinguished economist has said, a necessary ulcer; it is rather the beneficent motive power of all social organisation.

And then one of the prisoners came, stood by me for a while, put a hand on my shoulder and said to me, something that I will never forget: ''Tränen sind denn nicht genug, mein Junge,

    As the Julii, I had a Commodus.

    As the Britons, I had a Boudicea.

    As the Gauls, I had Brennus (Brennos in Greek), there are two generals with that name, one who sacked Rome, and one who pillaged Greece and eventually settled in Asia Minor. The Gauls there became known as Galatians.

    Finally, as the Carthaginians, I had a general called Hannibal.
