Tiberius

Conan casually indicated the corpse with his foot.

Tiberius, a merchant of Villitrium.

They were loaded with ale kegs, and old Zogar stopped to guzzle before he got across the river.

A woodsman named Soractus trailed him and led Valannus and three soldiers to where he lay dead drunk in a thicket.

At the importunities of Tiberius, Valannus threw Zogar Sag into a cell, which is the worst insult you can give a Pict.

He managed to kill his guard and escape, and sent back word that he meant to kill Tiberius and the five men who captured him in a way that would make Aquilonians shudder for centuries to come.

Well, Soractus and the soldiers are dead.

Soractus was killed on the river, the soldiers in the very shadow of the fort.

From Rescuers Down Under.

Yeah, Clayton or Tiberius, which if we go, we'll show you a visual representation.

So it's McLeacher McClay from Rescuers Down Under.

We got Clayton from Tarzan, which we'll never get.

cardboard critique

which we take a look at specific cards that we enjoy and sometimes they are not the greatest so what do we got going on

We are focusing on, okay, because Tiberius is in.

Yes.

On the next day, the crowd that remained on the other side of the sea saw that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with His disciples, but that His disciples had gone away alone.

Other boats from Tiberius came near the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

So when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they themselves got into the boats and went to Capernaum seeking Jesus.

When they found Him on the other side of the lake, they said to Him, "Rabbi, when did you come here?" Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you are seeking Me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves.

I really do.

I, like, I know we're here to rescue Tiberius, but I, I think he's earned it.

I think he deserves it.

He absolutely has, but at the same time, the timing is bad.

Meanwhile, a group of orphaned coyote pups on the Cape Cod have successfully been rehabilitated and released back into the wild after months of care.

And the finalists for the People's World's Cutest Rescue Dog Competition are Bane, Tiberius, and Champ, each with a rescue story including a three-legged therapy dog and a blind dog that learned to navigate with help from his community.

I refuse to pick them.

All dogs are tied for first.

All right.

The top three finalists are Bean, Champ, and Tiberius.

Gayle, let's start with Bean.

Whoo.

Bean, very forgiving person.

[laughs]

Eight-year-old Tiberius was found as a stray.

He was completely blind.

So here's an interesting point of comparison with today.

There's this passage from The Life of Tiberius Gracchus by Plutarch.

It kind of sets the stage of Tiberius Gracchus is this populist politician who realizes there's massive discontent, there's great wealth and equality, and he wants to do something about it.

And so I'll read you this passage from Plutarch's Life of Gracchus, and then we could talk about who Gracchus is and the background of it.

But so here's Plutarch talking.

No longer did they show themselves eager for military service and neglected the bringing up of children.

so that soon all Italy was conscious of a dearth of free men and was filled with gangs of foreign slaves, by whose aid the rich cultivated their estates, from which they had driven away the free citizens.

There are various attempts to solve this problem, including those of Gracchus that Plutarch mentions here, but here he quotes Tiberius Gracchus's brother, Gaius Gracchus, who's a little younger, And he says, but his brother Gaius in a certain pamphlet has written that as Tiberius was passing through Tuscany on his way to Numantia, on his way to Spain and observed the dearth of inhabitants in the country and that those who tilled its soil or tended its flocks there were barbarian slaves.

Conan shook his head and straightened to scowl down at the dead man.

a forest devil this is the fifth by krom what do you mean did you ever hear of a pictish wizard called zogar sag balthus shook his head uneasily he dwells in guawela the nearest village across the river three months ago he hid beside this road and stole a string of pack-mules from a pack-train bound for the fort drugged their drivers somehow the mules belonged to this man conan casually indicated the corpse with his foot tiberius a merchant of velitrium they were loaded with ale kegs and old zogar stopped to guzzle before he got across the river a woodsman named soroctus trailed him and led valannus and three soldiers to where he lay dead drunk in a thicket At the importunities of Tiberius, Volanus threw Zogar Sag into a cell, which is the worst insult you can give a Pict.

He managed to kill his guard and escape, and sent back word that he meant to kill Tiberius, and the five men who captured him, in a way that would make Aquilonians shudder for centuries to come.

Well, Soractus and the soldiers are dead.

Soractus was killed on the river, the soldiers in the very shadow of the fort.

And now Tiberius is dead.

No Pict killed any of them.

Each victim, except Tiberius, as you see, lacked his head, which no doubt is now ornamenting the altar of Zogar Sog's particular god.
