I didn't mean to kick you ... more like push my finger in the bullet hole. <g>. Actually, I didn't notice Alex's answer till I'd sent mine. Actually I thought you "ham shanks" were pretty good at history - but lousy at geography admittedly.
But, hey ... thinking Nero existed 90 years after Columbus rediscovered the New World... ? That stretches it. At this rate you guys better send in the Marines to protect Rome from the invading Visigoths, in the War on Terror :-)
