Why on earth would a snake be the symbol of Gaul? Was there a tribe that held snakes especially sacred that Caesar defeated?</p><p><br /></p><p>Did Caesar just like elephants in the same way I like penguins?... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie72" alt=":penguin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie72" alt=":penguin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> (fancy little things).&nbsp; Was he insinuating Pompey had gained some weight recently?&nbsp; Was he trying to mess with my head???</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll need to do some reading my friend. Again, fantastic post and entry![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
