Gaul is a province.

2 years of Latin in Catholic high school. (All male.) Forgot almost ALL my Latin except that one simple phrase. STILL bear the emotional scars. Where'd I put my gun? Just kidding.

BTW, Gaul is modern day France, in case you were wondering. Conquered by the Romans. So too much of Britain. Germanic tribes never succumbed. They were tough nuts to crack even back then.

Why take Latin? You get to watch a lot of "Monty Python" tapes. (We did.) And the Punic Wars were cool. Rome versus Hannibal and the Carthaginians. You know, "Hannibal crossed the Alps with elephants." He really did, that crazy bastard.

Besides, what would life be without emotional scars?....

BORING!!!!
