good talk

Congrats to my homeboy LeBron playing for the Championship and then winning 2 in succession shows that he should have left NorthCentral Ohio much sooner, you saw how much his loyalty was appreciated.  I recently added 7 countries my total is 115.  I also added a scar on my forehead if you're going to be a little girl about it you have to stay at home and drink milk Mother's Milk. Well, how good does anybody's forehead look (she's so beautiful especially her forehead).  I was first in Rome at "9" and saw again the Colosseum (Flavian Amphitheatre) the Forum and the Arch of Titus.  The Jews rebelled against Roman Rule from 66 to 70 A.D. as being monotheistic they refused to worship Nero.  The Jews had good initial success even defeating the vaunted l0th Legion (Julius Caesar said his favorite was the l0th) and seizing their Eagle Standard but anyone bucking Rome during the 4 centuries of their greatest power would find it to be fatal.  Vespasian was sent to put down the Rebellion he left to pursue becoming the Emperor and left the Campaign to his son Titus. Becoming Emperor Vespasian sustained his reputation of being a good and kind administrator (to those who didn't oppose him) and built the Colosseum, 70 to 80 A.D., entirely from the 22 tons of gold that he looted from Judea using 50 thousand enslaved Jews to build it.  Vespasian died in 79 A.D. and Titus completed the Colosseum.  The younger brother of Titus, Domitian, constructed the Arch of Titus in commemoration of his big brother who died himself in 81 A.D. from a fever after only 2 years as Emperor.  The Arch of Titus shows the Romans carrying off the Golden 7-branched Menorah from the destroyed 2nd Temple after the Sack of Jerusalem and carrying off the Golden Horns of the Temple.  The Flavian Amphitheatre, the Colosseum, one of the most famous structures in the World over 19 centuries later was entirely Jewish financed and built they must be very proud.
