| 0:00.0 | This is the Friends of Mr. Debating Society. I'm John Bachelor Gaias, and I welcome Mark |
| 0:05.1 | of Leo's Germanicism. In London, it is 91 AD, the winter, and whereby the Thames, enjoying |
| 0:13.3 | our cup of wine on our way to the theater, I think we're going to hear Luke and recited |
| 0:18.5 | tonight. Wonderful, because Luke and was a harsh opinion maker of the Emperor Nero, and |
| 0:26.5 | that reminds me now to tell a story before we begin Schromanicus' analysis of the 21st |
| 0:33.9 | century quandary of the Ukraine War, European War, global war, world war, ongoing. It was |
| 0:43.2 | the winter, the fall winter of 6061 that the Roman Quester ship in Londonium, a man named |
| 0:53.3 | Catus, decided to call the bill on the kings of the tribes of the Britons. They here to |

| 1:59.6 | Catus sent 0,400-500 marauders out of Londonium to collect the tax. The marauders, in fact, |
| 2:09.0 | repined and pillaged and fire, and especially a brutalized, horribly brutalized Boudica's |
| 2:16.0 | two daughters. That was 6061. Boudica raised an army of the Iconi and the Trinovantes, |
| 2:24.5 | her allies in the south. Maybe 400,000 people, maybe 70,000 people, these numbers are in |
