you did compare the Roman emperors pleasure craft with the Ptolemy dingy so please stop with you innocent protestations.

I don't think you understood the comparison. I compared purpose, not size. That was accurate.

the problem with the education system in the U.S. is that money is regularly diverted from the worthy educational program ‘comprehension 101’ into building ever increasingly BIG aircraft carriers to eclipse those of the Ptolemy dynasty. I recommend you read the link before posting any further.

I assume that was intended for kmt.

I also assume you're referring to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tessarakonteres

Note the dimensions and the commentary by Plutarch.

For those still interested in the facts... the dude that minted the coin ( or rather had it minted ), was none other than Ptolomy lV who was famous for building the biggest ship of its time. In fact it was the size of a modern aircraft carrier. I wonder why he would need to build a ship that big...?

To spend coins on Vegemite?

Am I right?

I suggest he reread the entire thread. He's lacking. Probably always cut his "comprehension 101" class.
