<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 4400946, member: 72790&quot;]I agree on the Marius choice as he is one that I had thought about when I posed that question to myself. That guy was quite a character. I think he and Vespasian would have enjoyed each other&#039;s company (maybe they yet do in Elysium). I recall reading about the time he undertook the defense of Rome from Cimbri and the Teutones. After he had wiped out one of the tribes he was approached by emissaries from the other and they asked for terms. All they wanted was a little land to settle on. Marius is reputed to have replied. Yes, I&#039;ll give each of you a plot of ground six feet deep. And so he did.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
