They make it desert and they call it peace."* #Tacitus
We need more astute and globally aware, inspired leaders like "her excellency, #MiaAmoreMley, Prime Minister, Prime Minister and Minister for National Security and the Public Service and
Minister for Finance, Economic Affairs and Investment of #Barbados."Her address to the #UN assembly is simply brilliant:

CW: Gaza, Israel, Creating a wasteland and calling it peace
I came across this by accident but ... Steve has something here:
'... only forgiveness and reconciliation can heal the wounds handed down from generation to generation. And only the perception of justice by all sides in a conflict can bring about that forgiveness and reconciliation.'

...Tja und #Tacitus bezeichnet ihn eben nicht als #Präfekt, sondern #Prokurator (sh. oben).
Ja und zwischenzeitlich ist seit 1961 bewiesen, daß selbst #Tacitus falsch lag:

Der 👉Fund belegt, dass die korrekte Bezeichnung für das von #Pilatus ausgeübte Amt Präfekt war und nicht, wie bei den Statthaltern von Judäa ab Mitte des 1. Jahrhunderts...

Soweit so gut, bis man den Wiki-Eintrag weiterliest und auf #Tacitus stösst:
"«Auctor nominis eius Christus Tiberio imperitante per 👉procuratorem Pontium Pilatum👈 supplicio adfectus erat.»
„Der Urheber jenes Namens, Christus, wurde während der Regierung des Tiberius durch den 👉Prokurator Pontius Pilatus👈 hingerichtet.“

I got the #PlantMail from this week potted up earlier this week. Hoping to keep the time inside in the warmth to a minimum so there’s not so much shock at being sent out into the freezing cold, especially as a couple came from the Gold Coast. I’m also pretty sure I’m coming down with something and didn’t want to risk not being up to it later in the week. These babies are too important.
- Myrtillocactus Gometrizans Fukurokuryuzinboku (Boobie Cactus): I’ve wanted one for ages and scored it from a seller’s closing down sale at a bargain price
- Echinocereus Rigidissimus (Rainbow Cactus): another one I’ve wanted for ages but others were higher on the wish list
- Echeveria Superbowl: I got at a discount, presumably because it’s not a perfect specimen, but it’s perfect to me
- Echeveria Cante x Laui: was just too petty to pass up
- Aloe Vera: I mentioned to a friend that I’d never actually seen it for sale so she dropped me off a piece
- Tacitus Bellus: has also been on my list for a while (the flowers are so beautiful) but had never come up in a sale when there was something else I wanted
- Echeveria Moulin Rouge: I just couldn’t pass up. She’s going to eventually get bumps and if you’ve followed me for a while you’ll know bumpies are my absolute favourite plants

Did you know that, according to the #Roman #historian #Tacitus, "Germans" are named after #Belgian #Celts?
Prior to 58 BC, a group of people crossed the river Rhein from what is now #Belgium, to settle in the land that had been vacated by the Celtic tribe of the Eburones.
These new people had been known as the 'Germani'. Soon, all people settled in what was in Tacitus' time Germania would be named after this one victorious tribe.
The Eburones went extinct.

Happy #Wednesday, or #Odin's Day, Odin being the god formerly known as #Woden, a chief Norse deitiy. He won the week's 4th day because #Mercury of Rome had claimed it; then #Tacitus in the 1st c said the Teutons worshiped Mercury.
In Romance lgs Mercury refused to relinquish dominance: miércoles in #Spanish & mercredi in #French, whereas the #Germans de-deified the day: Mittwoch ("Middleweek"). The #Russians agree: среда ("middle"). That is, #humpday.

Ancient Roman historians had difficulty grappling with the enigmatic life of Otho, who ruled Rome as Emperor for 3 months in 69 AD. Once known for being Nero's associate, Otho opted to take his own life as Emperor after losing a significant, but perhaps not decisive battle, instead of continuing a civil war. I examine four ancient historians in more than 18,000 words.
