      @@vylbird8014 I know the Julian calendar is called that because Julius designed it, what I meant was Julius also gave his name to July.
      And I've also heard the reason February has only 28 days is: March used to be the first month of the year (which also explains September to December having those names, as they used to be numbers 7-10. And the old names for July and August were Quintilis and Sextilis (5 and 6)), the days that would later become January and February didn't belong to any month initially, then those new months were made, January with 31 and February with 30. Julius wanted an extra day for July, so he took it from February, and Augustus wanted an extra day for August, so he also took it from February, leaving February with 28 days (until leap years were invented)

      Dude, i'm living in a 16 km isle in Greece and sometimes due to summer work, new shops and other stuff confuse me when i return home, plus in my first time abroad in England i was stunned by many things. Something like that would terrify a person if he appeared suddenly in a crowded city (even a panic attack). Add to that his different immunity system and the realisation that he propably lost all the people he knew in a blink. You think the creeped out guards of the Emperor would allow random dudes in camo costumes approach him, like a cult who wants to harm him ? Pillums would be thrown ! Things would be weird and violent, it's not even funny if you think of it. Higher chance of a better outcome if he appears alone in an isolated isle or a state in US like Montana and befriends a farmer or something (forgeting the germs).

      I mean the new truly great empire was the Spanish Empire. They invent a lot of navigational apparels, improve the cartography science a lot, import the potato, the paprika, the tomato, the vanilla, the lima beans, peanuts, cocoa. They founded a lot of universities, hospitals and other industries in the first century of conquest. The SE "colonies" (they was not) are poor right now due to the creole corruption and injerence of USA. However, Chile and Costa Rica are in a better position than most.

    The city of Pretoria was named after Andries Pretorius, who took over from Piet Retief as leader of the Boers.
