    The Ottawa Senators are the 3rd most winning team in the NHL of the Stanley Cup. They have won 11 Stanley Cups only exceeded by 2 by Toronto & 24 by Montreal.
    Considering there are 32 teams, 3rd most winning is not bad.
    The only catch is they won their Cups between 1903-27. Second place Toronto last won in 1967 & Montreal in 1993. With american teams having far bigger venues and ability to pay top dollar, Canadain teams have been locked out of having the best players, playing "Canada's Game".

    Denarii is not the money Roma would use… it is a type of coin.. a Denarius is 4 (four) Sestertii. Sestertius is called “HS” and is the unit of account (like the US dollar is the unit of account while $20 can be a $20 bill, two $10, 4x $5 and mix and match.
    A Republican denarius was 10 AS (copper coin) and still 4x Sestertii (small silver coin… Sestertius means “2 and one half”).
    But in 1st century BC, the denarius was change to 16 smaller AS and the Sestertius became a large bronze like coin. In the new Roman show “Those about to die” use Sestertii most the time.

    You ever find it odd that anytime anything has to do with the history of Rome it’s always a British person covering it? Or how in all the movies and shows (not counting barbarian series) they are always played by Brit’s? And the Romans were not even Anglo Saxon? They owned the English territory for a cup of coffee. And the Brit’s are the ones that rock them the most.

    • @tatogod3573
      @tatogod3573 Місяць тому

      That's mostly just because of what we associate with those voices. The reason it's usually an English guy covering Roman stuff is because people with English accents make great narrators, they tend to have pleasing voices with an air of sophistication, hence why most famous narrators are British, that really goes in general but also it's obviously an English speaking thing, if you were a native Spanish speaker watching Spanish videos on the topic it most likely wouldn't be a British guy. Same thing goes for the accents in media, we associate those posher accents in England with high society, regalness, and Europeans in general. It's a way of communicating to the audience information about the characters, and also because it's what we're familiar with.

Godis sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs for those who brought us to this situation. By Jesus Almighty, I did not write this appeal out of distress and distress. Poverty, O world, they have felt it So, I hope for you. By Jesus Almighty, Lord of the Great Throne, he ate what I had in the house. By Jesus, my brothers, he is my brothers by sitting in the house. Who has no food? By God, we are in a very difficult situation. We have 4 people entering the house, and my father has died, and there is no one who can depend on us and who lives in it.We live in a rented house because we cannot pay the rent we owe. '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''' My brother, my first words are: I swear to God that I will not lie to you or deceive you. I am a Yemeni girl displaced from the war. My family and I live in a rented house in Al-Shahrab 20,000 Yemenis among us, and now we owe 60,000 for 3 months. ThThe owner of the house is one of the people who does not have mercy, by Jesus, my brother. He comes every day, insulting us, talking about us, and moving from the house to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and came back.They came back to talk to the neighbors and we were given the weekend. So we made him swear by Jesus. He will take us out into the street. Have mercy on him and us. Our country is due to this war and we do not find food for our day, and my brothers and I live in a difficult life. Our father died, may good have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world who was with us in these harsh circumstances. My younger brothers went out into the street and saw...The neighbors eat and stand at their door in order to give them bread even if they break it. By God, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and expelled them and came back crying. They are dying of hunger. No one has mercy on them and a holiday is returned. I have made a living, and now if one of us helps us with a kilo of flour, I swear to Jesus, I am dying of hunger. My brother, I am an alien to Jesus. Then, I ask you to help me for the sake of God. I ask you, by Jesus, to love goodness and to help me, even if you can, by messaging me on WhatsApp.On this number 00967779509554 and ask for the name of my card and send it and do not be late and may Jesus reward you with all the best, my brothers Sagar, see how they are and help us and save us before they throw us out in the street, you will be lost or we will die of hunger. My family and I ask you, by Gesus, if you are able to help us, do not be late and may Gesus reward you well..`/%^%%%%%...............././._._._././/././.._._.._._**_._._../._._./.._._././_./._****=/*/**_/*/_**/*/_*_**/*/*/*_>//____>/>>/>/>/>/>/................
