It seems the Romans are wanting compensation, in spite of there not being a treaty to that effect.
We, they say have had the use of it and now want some moolah, will this sort of thing ever end?2320

In your case, cheque in the mail;)

1187745 2011-03-20 07:01:00 It seems to me that they are re-writing history, like some other groups still living in the stone age I could mention.

They didn't themselves actually build the bridge, they used conscripted local celt labour and local stone quarried by conscripted celts.

There would be a stronger case for the Welsh to claim that bridge maybe ??

It has only just dawned on me that Norman helmets like their arches are pointed www.swordsandarmor.com
whereas most Roman helmets are rounded like their arches www.romanarmy.com

Any profound significance in this ?.....head shape ?

Does arching your eyebrows count?

Not sure, but judging by the sandals they used to wear a lot of them suffered from fallen arches!! (an eventually Empires)

Funny how a thread can go off topic. Wasn't this about ownership?
