This is the Friends of History Debating Society. I'm Gaius. Germanicus is here. We're in Lunditium.

It's overcast. We had snow in London these last days. It's very odd for this time of year coming spring.

However, we are in Lunditium. We're very far from Rome, and that's warm any time we want it to be, since we do not

have to worry about the walls having ears.

We're at our favorite wine bar, our second cup of wine.

The Centurions have gone on home.

And we're going to the theater later.

Terrance plays are still in town.

They're very good at it.

They've had encores,

and our actors are attentive to our needs here in Lunditiam.

We don't see professional theaters like theirs often,

and we usually have to deal with the Greek stuff,

all lessons learned.

Whereas Terrence and his comedians, we always know it ends in a marriage ceremony.

It's always wonderful.

However, we have much business to attend to, and Germanicus is here to deal with headlines

from the 21st century.

There's no change in here in the first.

Domitian's still in trouble with the Senate, and there will be a better day coming.

But in the 21st century, the situation is productive.

That was the word used.
