Bible Note: I can't seem to find any unbiased historical accounts that support what you are saying. Even the contemporary historical accounts of Rome don't jibe. These adjustments represent a consensus of opinion that is not easily moved. That's especially true when such stolid immobility is so unwaveringly affirmed. Although I can't prevent a bit of irony in my tone as I say this, perhaps the shifting of a decimal point will, by the same proportion, make some these things more tolerable to our modern sensibilities. In any case, I retract my statements of facts and figures. As I said elsewhere, we'll let history justify itself. |
