As the Roman Empire came apart at the seams, the safest place to be was on the very edges of that dying empire.
I have recently been reading the books, by Robert Harris, detailing the life of the great thinker, orator and statesman, Cicero.
Of all the cumulative reasons why the Roman Empire came apart, endless wars, an over reliance on slave labour and corruption in government appear to be at the forefront.
Wealthy Romans drank water transported through lead pipes into their villas.
The water contained up to 100 times more lead that that from spring wells.
Much the same appears to be happening now, even to the point of corrupt and debased behaviour within the ranks of the ruling elite.
We appear to be not so much governed, as presided over by people we would otherwise be embarrassed to call our friends…integrity and compassion being somewhat lacking!
