The Navis Iusoria was a river-going troop carrier of the Roman Empire. I think there's little reason to suspect that small-scale shipbuilding was significantly different 200 or so years earlier.
This article contains a lot of really useful numbers on s...

The Shortcomings of Rome

Charms and Compulsions

How do you know that you're under a charm? How would you know if you've been ensorceled? I think in most cases, you wouldn't.

I've done some posting on this in the past, but I think it's time to address this issue again.

Ubuntu and my netbook were just not meant to be friends. I spent a full week trying to get various versions to run. I must have tried around 15 different versions with various states of stability, yet none at full operating capacity. Finally I just gave up...
