i know we've talked about wolf jason, and we've definitely talked about bird jason, but have we considered both? a jason that howls with wolves and sings with birds. a jason that is more often found running through the forest and hanging from trees than in either camp. and with his good looks he'd be easy to mistake as a nature spirit. a jason who learns to laugh with the dryads when he's mistaken for one of them. a jason who, like the gods he's decended from, is easily molded by belief. a jason who becomes one with the forest as people forget he's a demigod. a jason who has to learn to be human again as his duties require it.

Ancient Roman Wall Used to Trap Spartacus Found in Italy

A team of archaeologists has found the remains of a Roman-constructed wall in Calabria, southern Italy. It was built with the purpose of trapping Spartacus, the former Roman gladiator who escaped and led a slave revolt.

The researchers behind this find, led by Dr. Paolo Visona, a classical archaeologist from the University of Kentucky in the United States, found the structure in the mountainous region of Calabria, where Spartacus and his men fled in 71 BC in order to escape Sicily.

Walls such as this one were constructed under the orders of the Roman general Marcus Licinius Crassus, who was in charge of the Roman legions. Crassus’ mission was to capture or murder Spartacus and his band of freed slaves and former gladiators.

Roman wall trapped Spartacus, a slave leader

The ancient wall dissects an area of the Dossone della Melia forest in the Calabria region right on the southern tip of Italy. The excavated stone wall and supporting earthwork was roughly 1.7 miles long and is mostly in good condition.

Archaeologists also uncovered a Roman defensive ditch known as a fossa as well as the remains of what seemed to have been an embankment system.

“The wall has now been conclusively identified as part of the structures built by the Roman general Marcus Licinius Crassus to contain the slave revolt leader Spartacus and his forces,” the Archaeological Institute of America said in a statement announcing the discovery.

Mostly covered by vegetation with only small sections visible to the eye, the remains of the Roman wall were not prominently on display. However, a group of environmental workers came across parts of the stone wall while hiking through the forest, and believing it to be something ancient, they notified local cultural authorities.

Researchers and archaeologists analyzed the structure after some time. They used ground-penetrating radar and LiDAR aerial survey equipment to find out more about the semi-buried wall’s construction. They also extracted soil samples and took magnetometer readings in an effort to learn more about when the wall was built.

Historical accounts of Spartacus’ life come primarily from Plutarch and Appian, who both penned their works more than a hundred years after his death. Plutarch’s Life of Crassus and Appian’s Civil Wars provide the most thorough account of the slave revolt.

Although he was a major character in Roman history, no contemporary sources exist, and all accounts were written by people who were only indirectly involved. There have been no testimonies from the slaves of eyewitnesses.

Very little is known about Spartacus besides the events of the war, and extant accounts are full of contradictions.

A group of chimpanzees listen to other chimpanzees heard at a distance in the West African forests of Ivory Coast. This photo was provided by the Tai Chimpanzee Project, a research outfit set up in 1979 by two married primatologists who decided to study the animals’ reported habit of cracking nuts with tools. They found that not only did the chimps use ‘hammers’ but they would choose one made of wood or stone, depending on the hardness of the nut
