GOOD MORNING #NOSTR ☀️ AND HAPPY EASTER!

Bird of the day: Columbidae

Since ancient times, many Columbidae species have developed intricate cultural and practical relations with humans. Doves were important symbols of the goddesses Innana, Asherah, and Aphrodite, and revered by the early Christian, Islamic and Jewish religions. Domestication of pigeons led to significant use of homing pigeons for communication, including war pigeons, such as the 32 pigeons who were awarded the Dickin Medal for "brave service" to their country, in World War II.

GOOD MORNING ODELL. HAPPY EASTER MOTHERFUCKER.

Bird of the day: American bittern

It is a well-camouflaged, solitary brown bird that unobtrusively inhabits marshes and the coarse vegetation at the edge of lakes and ponds. In the breeding season it is chiefly noticeable by the loud, booming call of the male. The nest is built just above the water, usually among bulrushes and cattails, where the female incubates the clutch of olive-colored eggs for about four weeks. The young leave the nest after two weeks and are fully fledged at six or seven weeks.

Daily Roman History:

A sore spot for Marcus Licinius Crassus, the richest man in the Empire, was he had no military accomplishments to point to, unlike his future Triumvirate colleague Pompey Magnus. He was given a chance during the Third Servile War in 73BC. This was an uprising of slaves on the Italian Peninsula numbering up to 120000 men, woman, and children led by the legendary Spartacus. After proving surprisingly effective against the legions Crassis was given command in 71BC. He was able to lead his troops to a routing of the slave army and effectively end the war. However, the fleeing slaves were captured or killed by an approaching army lead by Pompey. Pompey was able to spin this as while Crassus won the battle, Pompey ended the war and took most of the credit. Perhaps due to his anger at this Crassus ordered all 6000 surviving rebels to be crucified along the Appian way. Some years later Crassus got another opportunity to lead an army invading the Parthian Empire to the east. Unprepared for the harsh desert environment, and betrayed by guides this turned into a debacle where the Roman army was destroyed, the army standards lost, and allegedy Crassus himself was killed by having molten gold poured down his throat.

Bird of the day: Ruddy Shelduck

The ruddy shelduck mostly inhabits inland water-bodies such as lakes, reservoirs and rivers. The male and female form a lasting pair bond and the nest may be well away from water, in a crevice or hole in a cliff, tree or similar site. A clutch of about eight eggs is laid and is incubated solely by the female for about four weeks. The young are cared for by both parents and fledge about eight weeks after hatching.

Daily Roman History:

During the battle of Alesia Julius Caesar had the enemy army and their leader Vercingetorix trapped within a fortified settlement. With army and citizens of Alesia totaling more then 80000 a seige would not take long to force surrender. To begin the seige and make sure absolutely no supplies got in Caesar ordered a 10 mile wall be built around the site complete with trenches, towers, anti-cavalry traps, and redoubts. However, an Gallic army of reinforcements somewhere between 50000-100000 men appeared and began to head toward the beseiged city. Rather then abandon the chance at total victory Caesar ordered a second 12.8 mile wall be built facing out to block the approaching army. Thus a race against time began to see who would surrender first. Over the next several days the Romans repelled numerous attacks from both sides, one such attack that nearly became a full breach saw Caesar himself lead a cavalry charge out of an exposed section of the wall to rout the opposing forces. When it became clear they would not last Vercingetorix gave himself up and was taken prisoner. This would effectively end Gallic resistance to Rome and soon after the new territory was added to the Republic, and Caesars fame and notoriety skyrocketed.
