GOOD MORNING ☀️ Bird of The Day: Goldcrest The goldcrest (Regulus regulus) is a very small passerine bird in the kinglet family. Its colourful golden crest feathers, as well as being called the "king of the birds" in European folklore, gives rise to its English and scientific names. The scientific name, R. regulus, means 'petty king' or prince. @Dan Wedge you’d likely refer to this bird as a Bitcoincrest

Daily Roman Facts: A man named Clodius snuck nto a female only religious rite with the intention of seducing Caesar’s wife, Pompeia. This led to Clodius’s arrest and trial for sacrilege. Ceasar gave no evidence at the trial and Clodius was acquitted. Nevertheless, Caesar divorced Pompeia. When people questioned what this might have had to do with the trial of Clodius, Caesar said, "My wife ought not even be under suspicion". It should be noted Ceaser was known all his life as a flirt and adulterer. Hypocrisy!

Daily Roman Fact: During the First Punic War at the navel Battle of Drepana in 249 BC the consul at the time, Publius Claudius Pulcher, was itching for a decisive victory. As is custom, though, they needed to perform a rite to see if good fortune awaits. In this instance the sacred chickens were offered food and if they ate battle would commence. Unfortunately, they were not hungry. Upset at the bad omen he announced, "Since they do not wish to eat, let them drink" and threw them over the side of the boat. The battle began and the Roman were soundly defeated by the Carthaginian navy. #history #roman

GOOD MORNING ☀️ Bird of The Day: Ring Billed Gull The ring-billed gulls' breeding habitat is near lakes, rivers, or the coast in Canada and the northern United States. They nest colonially on the ground, often on islands. This bird tends to be faithful to its nesting site, if not its mate, from year to year. The ring-billed gull is a familiar sight in American and Canadian parking lots, where it can regularly be found congregating in large numbers. In some areas, it is displacing less aggressive birds such as the common tern. #gm #birds

Daily Roman History: During a war between Rome and neighbouring city Clusium in 506 BC a Roman soilder, named Gaius Mucius Cordus, snuck into the enemy camp that was besieging the city to try and kill their king, one Lars Porsena. After mistakenly killing the king's scribe he was captured. When brought before the king he declared he was but the first of many assassins and Romans do not fear pain or death. To emphasize this point he put his right hand in a nearby fire and let it burn without flinching. Sufficiently freaked out the King let him go saying "Go back, since you do more harm to yourself then me". A peace envoy was sent by the King shortly after. For his feats Cordus was given the cognomen "Scaevola", meaning "left-handed". #history #roman #onlyzaps

Daily Roman History: During the Gallic Sack of Rome in 390 BC the Romans had retreated to the cities citadel after the Gauls had overrun the rest. To get communications in and out a secret climbing path was used by Rome, however unbeknownst to the Romans the Gauls had discovered this path sometime into the seige. Under cover of night a Gallic raiding party began to climb to take the citadel. As the neared the top the Sacred Geese of Juno, which were moved inside for protection, began to honk loudly and cause a ruckus. This alerted the sentries to the invasion and the Gauls were pushed back. Eventually the Gauls got bored and left, giving Rome control over it's city once more. The Geese were hailed as national heroes with a not small amount of art and memorials dedicated to them.
