facebooktwittergoogle_plusredditpinterestlinkedin

These are notes I took from a wonderful writing symposium called Life, the Universe and Everything. We have a lot of talented people in Utah and visitors with a great deal of knowledge. Any Misinformation is the fault of the note taker.

– Rome and cartridge conflict: both interested in cicely and Greek colonies and trade with them.
– Rome was a land power
– And cartridge has a great naval fleet.
– Trade wars often change info physical war.
– Cartridge was a Nexis for trade with 300K people. It was the first city with apartments and a working sewage system. They had a huge amount of commercial trade.
– Cartridge also a Nexis for the intellectual.
Three wars: how come about.
– Empires are very jealous of their power trade or physical empire. Fight for the dominion of cicely (adjustment to Italy)
– Cecily center of the meditration. So when Rome started expanding they moved into cartridge and cartridge said no.
– Cartridge had a ship that ram into a ship. Rome duplicated the ships.
– Rome has a nation of citizen shoulders and are personally invested.
– Kato leader fought in the 3rd war:
– Hanable crossing the Alps with elephants.
– Fabious invented Fabien tactics just don’t get beaten. Hideout in the mud/swamps. Was constant a threat to Hanable. Can prevent the bigger army to do things because they pose a constant threat.
– Hannibal considered the greatest military general in history. Build massive rafts with dirt and grass to not frighten the elephants. Builds hundreds of rafts in 9 days.
– To get Elephants across the Alps by breaking up boulders.
– Arcemeties is a great inventor of battle items.
