Q4 Who built the oldest bridge in theworld? A4 John Morse,4h Theoldest bridge in the world still standing today is the stone single arch bridgeknown as "Caravan Bridge" or "Mardin Bridge",located in southeastern Turkey. It is estimated to have been built bythe Romans in the early 3rd century AD. Thecaravan bridge was built to serve as part of the ancient Roman road system,which connected the citiesof Nisibis and Cizre. The bridge spans the Tigris River and was a vital link inthe region's trade routes. Thebridge is approximately 200 meters long and 7 meters wide, with a single35-meter arch. Despite its age, the bridge is still used for vehicular traffic todayand has become a popular tourist attraction in the region. Q5 How were Roman soldiers disciplined inancient Rome? A5 John Morse,4h This little rock could end up being one ofthe scariest things you'll ever see. Do you want to know why? Well, I'll tellyou. Imaginethat you are a soldier of a Roman legion under the command of Marcus LiciniusCrassus during the Rise of Spartacus. His forces under Mummy have failed tosubdue Spartacus at Bruttium and the next day his officers line up the cohorts.You have no idea what'sgoing on, but you and your entire group (500) have just been split into groupsof ten. HisPraetor announces that because his commanders disrespect my command and hislack of courage and discipline in the battle against the slaves, he will bepunished no less by the Tithe. Theranks are silent, some know this will mean the end. When everyone in your grouppicks up a rock, they open their hand to see this: You sigh in relief but look at yourbest friend looking at his petrified hand because he grabbed the white stone. Now you and theother eight who received black stones were given sticks and ordered to killyour best friend or you all die. You and the other 8 beat your friendmercilessly until his brains fall to the ground. You wipe the blood off your face and hearthe countless screams around you and after a while the screams subside. 50 menwere slaughtered by their own comrades that day. This is the ancient Roman act calledthe Decimation. It was used to "inspire" troopsto follow orders and not retreat or surrender. However, this act did not die with Rome. The road wasmade well into the 20th century. Punishment sees everyone, officers or merelyauxiliaries, as equals to punishment. I'm sure that's why there haven't beenmany cases of the military fighting this, even if I'm wrong. Think of it as a"death lottery" in a way. Thiscan be brutal, but it has been shown to get results. unless your general is anidiot because he just made a military mistake. (Cough) Marc Anthony (Cough)General Luigi Cadorna.
