The Romans found a dangerously effective way to sweeten wine.
Concentrated grape must was sometimes boiled in lead vessels. The acidic must could react with the metal and form lead acetate — the notorious “sugar of lead.” Sweet on the tongue, toxic over time.

What am I reading?
¾ through Ancient Roman by Simon Baker and enjoying it thoroughly. Perhaps it's my own ignorance of the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, but I have been surprised at how similar current power dynamics match those of Rome in the first century AD and before. I've got Prince Orange 🍊 down as Nero and his sycophants as the aristocratic elites in the Roman Senate: clueless & self serving!
I recommend the Heythwaite Trilogy, a Yorkshire saga by Annie Eileen Rogers, as some easy reading if you have just put down a heavy read, like Ancient Rome!

CW: Story from ancient Roman history, mentions debt and war
I've been reading some of Livy's histories and keep thinking about a striking little episode from when Rome was still a small city state.
It starts when a lot of people are drowning in debt because of loan sharks. They hold a protest and demand that the consuls, the two top magistrates, address the issue in the senate.
The senate convenes, but one of the consuls just wants to start arresting people. Then they hear that a neighbouring town is planning to attack, so the other consul goes out to the people and promises a reprieve for all those who sign up for the army.
The people agree and the war is quickly concluded. Afterwards, though, the first consul starts sentencing debtors to even worse punishments than before. And the other consul is too scared to act against his colleague.
A little while after that, the consuls are squabbling about who gets to consecrate the new temple of Mercury. So the senate decides to let the people vote, adding that the winner gets a few other mandates as well. The people then elect one Marcus Laetorius, a centurion in the army, to perform these prestigious tasks.
I believe there's a lesson in there.

Overwhelming from every angle. Standing in the shadow of the Colosseum is a reminder of very gladiatorial combat, every animal hunt, and the way that for many generations the centre of Roman power could feel condensed in this very place.

Movie Review: William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar (1953)
Title: William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar
Release Date: June 4, 1953
Director: Joseph L. Mankiewicz
Production Company: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
Main Cast:- Marlon Brando as Mark Antony
- James Mason as Brutus
- John Gielgud as Cassius
- Louis Calhern as Julius Caesar
- Edmond O’Brien as Casca
- Greer Garson as Calpurnia
- Deborah Kerr as Portia
- George Macready as Marullus
- Michael Pate as Flavius
- Richard Hale as a Soothsayer
- Alan Napier as Cicero
- John Hoyt as Decius Brutus
- Tom Powers as Metellus Cimber

- Michael Ansara as Pindarus
- Dayton Lummis as Messala
- Edmund Purdom as Strato
- Paul Guilfoyle as First Citizen
- John Doucette as Second Citizen
- Lawrence Dobkin as Third Citizen
- Jo Gilbert as Fourth Citizen
Synopsis (via Letterboxd):
The growing ambition of Julius Caesar is a source of major concern to his close friend Brutus. Cassius persuades him to participate in his plot to assassinate Caesar but both have sorely underestimated Mark Antony.
My Thoughts:
Julius Caesar receives the full MGM classic era treatment: big sets, big crowds, and big stars! And it’s mostly effective. For it’s cast of thousands, the success of this movie is down to the talents of its three lead actors. Marlo Brando breaks from the mumbler typecast he had at the time to be an inspirational Mark Antony while John Gielgud is imperious as the conspiracy leader Cassius. I have to admit that I usually find James Mason to be very creepy, but his creepiness is toned down here allowing him to play a sympathetic antihero in Brutus. Producer John Houseman decided to break the tradition of an all-British cast in Shakespeare productions and it pays off in performances such as Edmond O’Brien’s very Brooklyn approach to Casca. Joseph L. Mankiewicz is known for being a dialogue director which feels like it should be right for a Shakespeare, but his approach is too faithful in presenting it as a historical drama. For a movie released just after the end of World War II, I had hoped that the crisis of dictators with ambitions would feel more present. While the monologues are strong, the movie lacks an overall sense of urgency and intrigue.
Rating: ***1/2

A Staggering Excavation Has Rewritten The Fall of The Roman Empire
Interamna Lirenas has turned out to be far more than a “backwater town” of the Roman Empire. According to a published study in Roman Urbanism in Italy, this central Italian town thrived well beyond previous belief, using its impressive urban features and forward-thinking design to stave off the effects of the empire’s collapse well into the 3rd century AD. “We started with a site so unpromising that no one had ever tried to excavate it,” Alessandro Launaro, the study’s author […] -
The Reality of Dreams
Throughout Human history, dreams have fascinated, inspired and disturbed us. Where do they come from? Why do they happen? What do they mean? Different civilisations have tried to answer these questions. The Ancient Mesopotamians thought of dreams as divine messages. The most well known Mesopotamian story is the Epic of Gilgamesh, where Gilgamesh receives dreams about the future. They also had dream temples, where people would go in order to sleep and receive these divine messages in their […]https://johnbronze.wordpress.com/2026/07/24/the-reality-of-dreams/
