Quote:Died today in 1466: Donato di Niccolò di Betto Bardi AKA Donatello, Florentine artist and sculptor. Despite popular belief Donatello was not a mutant, nor a ninja, nor a turtle, however at one point he was a teenager... Bronze relief of Christ - Donatello Thanks to: Theslo of Qualon cf. Neat Pictures: added more! [adultish] Ps. Christianity is so far found in only one realm of Aerth, Rome, and, hence, the bronze relief is placed here, not in Florence (Florence is located in Tuscany). Again, the Abrahamic religions were never part of Gary's vision for Aerth. I decided to include them, as some (though, not much) of the 1st. Ed. content does touch on the Abrahamic religions. A quick review: * Judaism --> Phillistia (Aegypt) * Christianity --> Rome * Islam --> Yarbay All three are in their formative stages. Whether Abraham, Jesus, and Muhammad are alive or not... it's up to you.

Also, pizza is the national food of Rome. "The term " pizza" first appeared in a Latin text from the southern Italy town of Gaeta in 997 AD, which states that a tenant of certain property is to give the bishop of Gaeta duodecim pizze ("twelve pizzas") every Christmas Day, and another twelve every Easter Sunday".[1][7]"
