    Rather wild guess, Augustinus?
    "Pompeius, after having finished the war against Mithridates, when he went to call at the house of Poseidonios, the famous teacher of philosophy, forbade the lictor to knock at the door, as was the usual custom, and he, to whom both the eastern and the western world had yielded submission, ordered the fasces to be lowered before the door of science."

    Wrong, I'm just new to this forum but it's still my turn. I have played the Total war games for a very long time but never made a TW center account until yesterday.

    Or upload it as an attachment and then copy the URL to insert it here You can upload attachments at the bottom of the post window.

    Is Antipater's picture still valid then? I still think it's either a Church father or a pope, but not sure who. Doesn't really look like any of the early ones...

    Look Artorias, try to do in this way: the third icon from the right upper side of the window of the quick reply is a small square if you move the mouse on it you'll read: 'insert image' push the icon and insert the link to the image you have chosen in the required position, then push OK, and job done.....I hope.....but I'm an old moron so.....

    Just to keep up with the rep, how many times have I left to rep Antipater? Once here and once on the battle thread?
