The Murder of the Innocents

Postby ladyDeWint » Fri Jun 25, 2010 5:57 pm

Dozens of unwanted babies born during Roman times were murdered and buried on the site of a Roman brothel in Buckinghamshire, archaeologists suspect.

I don't know about this. Surely it would have been more profitable to bring them up as slaves or gladiators. Why would they want to kill them at birth.

Why ? when they could have as many slaves as they wanted from the countries they conquered free of charge rather than going to the expense of bringing up children .

They didn't need the whole population as troops. They of course sent slaves back to Rome.

Yes, and children are such expensive things to rear. Ask Jonathan Swift!

The guy posts a tragic story about his daughter and then laughs about it, it just about sums up this forum lately.
He waffles on about times gone by which were crap compared to today, those days are gone, forget pie and mash and living in rat infested slums.
I'd suggest that you tell us more about your daughter but it might bore the people who would rather post crap about the good old days, pie and mash and broken ankles.
This forum would be dead if ladyDeWint didn't go to the trouble of finding topics.
