In my two months being #nostr only I’ve noticed there are a lot less boating accidents on nostr.
Daily Roman History:
After the Second Punic war and peace with Rome the leading general of the Carthaginian side, and all around one of the greatest military strategists of all time, Hannibal Barca tried his hand as a politician. This was short lived as his policies were counter to Roman interests and rather then be surrendered to Rome he chose a voluntarily exile. He took to traveling the Mediterranean as a military advisor to various kingdoms such as Seleucid, Armenia, and Bithynia. While in Seleucid a Roman diplomatic mission arrived with the very man who defeated Hannibal at the Battle of Zama, Scipio Africanus. As this was a peaceful meeting the two began discussing great generals of history. Both men agreed Alexander the Great was easily the top, when asked second place Hannibal said Pyrrhus of Epirus for his boldness, and successes against Roman forces. For third Hannibal placed himself. Annoyed by this prideful response Scipio asked "And where would you rank if you actually managed to defeat me at Zama?". To this Hannibal said if he had won he would place himself even above Alexander, a rather diplomatic anwser to acknowledge both his and Scipios greatness.

Bird of the day: Brant
This dark little goose is often mistaken for a duck. They possess a highly developed salt gland that allows them to drink salt water. Thousands of brants migrate over 3,000 miles!

Bird of the Day: Snowy Owl
The snowy owl is well equipped for hunting; they can see and hear much better than humans. Their luminous yellow eyes have rings of feathers around them that help to reflect sound to their ears. These birds are great judges of distance, which helps them to swoop down on prey with great accuracy.

Daily Roman History:
One of the Caesars life long enemies was Cato the Younger, a descendent of Cato the Eldar of "CaRtHaGe mUsT dIe" fame. During the Catalin conspiracy, where Lucius Sergius Catalina tried to overthrow the sitting consuls and seize sole power, Cato was adamant that Caesar, then an up and coming senator, was involved though the evidence was scant. During one such debate on the Senate floor Caesar received a message and began to read in private. Sure this was linked to the conspiracy Cato demanded it read aloud. Caesar deflected, saying while it wasn't incriminating, it was not a message meant for the Senate. Unrelenting Cato seized the letter and began to read it out. True to Caesars word it was not anything malicious, but rather a salacious letter from Cato's half sister, a married woman at the time, whom Caesar had taken as a mistress earlier the year. Once he realized what he was reading Cato crumpled the note and threw it back at Caesar exclaiming "Keep it, you drunk!"

Welcome to my life 
Bird of the Day: australian owlet-nightjar
Owlet-nightjars are insectivores and eat a variety of insects, either during flight or on the ground. In the wild: They are harder to find with a torch or spotlight than most of Australia's other nocturnal birds because their large brown eyes do not reflect the light. They are also very small.

Daily Roman History:
With the death of King Prasutagus in 60 or 61 AD of an semi-independent kingdom within Roman Britannia he left his realm to be split between his daughters and the Empire. The Empire refused this agreement and claimed the land as their own, afterwards pillaging the land, raping the daughters, and having his wife Boudica, flogged. Using this outrage Boudica gave a speech to her fellow tribes dedouncing the Roman occupation and roused a rebellion. The rebel army first struck and destroyed Camulodunum, then headed south. They were met and defeated an army lead by Gaius Suetonius Paulinus at the outpost of Londinium forcing the Roman retreat. After the further destruction of Londinium and Verulamium the tribal army met a regrouped Roman army in the west midlands where despite being heavily outnumbered, some estimates say the Romans had 10000 men vs a rebel army of 230000, the Romans claimed victory. Boudica was either killed in the fighting or committed suicide shortly after, but was hailed as a beacon of resistance to Roman occupation.
