Send 'em to school, buy 'em books, and they eat the pages! Tu, Sir Rat, are part of the problem, not the solution! 390 BCE we said, right? First sacking of Rome. Had GREAT historic effects. The Romans decided they would take no **** from nobody never again. (Didn't entirely work that way, but they had quite a run.) Caligula was Roman Emperor from 37-41 AD, 394 YEARS after that date. The Roman Republic was still in operation in 390 BCE. It was ended by Julus Ceasar in 15 BCE after he had his elf declared Dictator for Life. He was stabbed to death the next year in the Roman Senate Chamber as the result of a plot. This set off a civil war that was ultimately won by Octavius Ceasar, who declared himdelf Imperator (Emperor). Kids. Don't know nuttin'!
