and now to Rome...

I thought I'd try doing this as a list.

Things Methos likes about Rome.

• Hot baths and underfloor heating


• Virgil


• The women. But that's not saying much; I doubt there are many places Methos doesn't like the women. Maybe Athens, and the problem there isn't that he doesn't like the women, but that it's so hard to meet them. But certainly, Roman women are a good thing, even though Methos would probably add that most of what's good about Roman women comes from the Etruscans anyway. Which is a nice lead-in to...

Things Methos doesn't like about Rome.

• The Roman habit of destroying placed he rather liked the way they were before the Romans killed almost everybody and leveled all the buildings and took everything that wasn't nailed down and everyone who wasn't dead back to Rome as loot.

( Just because he spent centuries yelling things like 'I am Death!!!' and killing everything that moved doesn't mean he has to be tolerant when other people do it )
