Another golden age myth bites the dust, or, in this case, drowns. The notion that the days of the Roman Republic before the Empire were a period of virtuous yeomanry has been an historical fiction beloved by everyone from Thomas Jefferson to Patrick Buchanan. It just doesn't seem to fit the facts of who had the money and land in the good old days.

Pitt T. Maner III comments:

Here is another bit of fiction, but maybe not so far off with respect to the ravages of time– the modern world and subway systems unearthing ancient ruins. Amazing how much is left to be found.
