Yes, Casca< "Speak, hands, for me." Although I don't know if Casca was a senator, I suppose he could have been...
"We do not follow maps to buried treasure, and remember:X never, ever, marks the spot."
- Professor Henry Jones Jr.

"Hither came Conan, the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandalled feet."

Hmm, I just assumed Casca was a senator. Janitor? Caesar whacked by a deadly mop?

Okay...my turn: MORE HISTORY

What civilization built the first asphalt road?

Sorry, dAN, it wasn't Egypt, but you're close. Think Egypt's neighbours.

(As far as I know, the Asphaltians didn't build the road first, they just patented the name. :lol: )

Well, lets go down the list. Babylonians perhaps.

TOM C has the correct answer! It was the ancient Babylonians who constructed the first asphalt road.

Over to you, TOM C. (Meanwhile dAN gets ready to kill me...)

Allright, here's a softball. In the movie "Conan", James Earl Jones portrayed Thulsa Doom, who was not an enemy of Conan in the Robert E. Howard books. Who was Conan's true enemy, and who was Thulsa Doom's?
