You can respond to a previous video or podcast in the comment section. We'll get that.

You can even send me a postcard speaking of another postcard. Oh, upside down. This one is from

Michael in Boston. Thank you, Michael. I will get to that in just a second and answer Michael's

question. So you can ask us a question and what I'll try to do is answer said question. And if I

can't, I will see if I can find out someone who can or do some research. As you've probably

gathered, I'm prone to not trying to do research, but I do sometimes. Anyway, dear Murray,

greetings from Boston, Boston, my worst boxist Boston accent, I am sorry. My question is,

what really happened at the Battle of Lugdenum, 197 AD? I've read that this battle might have been

I've also read that this battle lasted multiple days. How does that work? Did both sides retire at night and resume fighting in the morning or was skirmishing constant throughout? Thanks for your time.

I love the podcast. Best, Michael. Thank you, Michael. Where should we put you? Let's put you next to Aristotle up here.
