A most entertaining and informative article on Caesar and the Roman calendar. I find more to admire about the man all the time. Considering he was actually in power for a short time, he accomplished a great deal. The 'great wall' of Mongolia was an interesting read, too. And Old World cemeteries are repositories of art as much as they are of the dead.
