Have you tried the ORBIS database? It covers land, sea & river travel and estimates travel time by season and by direction, etc. I think the travel times are based on ancient accounts, and geophysical info from a modern meteorological study of wind patterns and travel conditions from 2002. There...

ihaB8AFOhZo In a Psychology class, I was to write a paper on a psychological subject of my choosing. Of course, the subject I chose was one that NOBODY was dealing with in Psychology (can't remember it now, as it would seem silly to me as I see things now), so I cited BR for his philosophical musin...

It looked like there was an artificial harbor to the Mediterranean, but the lake water was fresh, fed b...

(Hindley, David C) APOSTAUROW defined in Greek D...

Wouldn't be the first 19th century wag to be a one hit wonder, at least under this name. Consider the subject, the number seven. He is relating the legendary seven gates of Thebes (and what they were thought to signify) with one of the many versions of the "chaldean week" (aka Babylonian w...

IMO these accounts are authentic dream records which makes their true meaning problematic. However it seems clear that, in the text as we have it, they are understood as visions of Jesus Christ for whom Perpetua is about to heroically die. Am reminded a bit of the Gospel of Peter, where two tall an...
