I have also, but I thought the thing had disappeared. In other news.....The last effective Emperor of ALL of the Roman Empire was Theodesius the Great.

Well...
Tiberius Gracchus was elected tribune of the people in 133 BC, and fought for reforms of benefit to the plebeians. He was murdered by opponents.

That wasn't actually the final reason they fell. The most important reason for their fall was after all that civil unrest they were overrun by the "sea people."

Hi, but Tiberius was actually pretty capable, he just didn't have much of a public image.

(I'm a Roman history buff, by the way...)

Yes, but those things generally come with rulers, his actual ruling ability was pretty good. It's just that he didn't know how to make himself appealing.

Gaaah, i have finals in 12 DAYS.

*jawdrop*

Not to mention, my doctors put me on-guess what?-steroids!

I think it;s called prednisone.

Anyways, yesterday after gym i could hardly breathe but i felt better after laying down for a bit, so i went back to class, but then i had to run to the bathroom where i nearly threw up. (i know it's gross). I came out and the nurse plopped me in a wheelcahir...(evne though i could walk) and tld me she was sending me home, even thoughb I could have probably stayed.

so, my doctor added the steroids to my antibiotics. The worst thing about them, they make me all jumpy when i first take them, then i crash about 5 hours later.

Prednisone? My dance instructor has to take that for her asthma too.

And I hate American history, and love ancient greece and rome.
