Aptera Crete yesterday (today the Sahara dust was too ugly to document)

Chania tonight

Πολύ ωραία!

Posting from various trips around Greece (or other places with antiquities). This from Eleusis.

My preference between the two depends entirely on my subjective mood that day. As well as my preferred translation

Another lay person responding. There will never, of course, be a perfect match, but I go back to the era from the rise of Tiberius Gracchus to the victory of Sulla. Why did the institutions of the republic, so praised by Polybius, begin to fail so soon after he finished his work?
