| 2009-11-24 | Lionel | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | clear, concise, on-point; your answer explained exactly what i needed to know, and tangentially, why i couldn't find the author on the net. many thanks, Maria! |
| 2009-10-29 | Holly | 10 | 10 | 9 | 10 | Yes | Thanks Maria! It really helped clarify something I've been wondering about for a while. |
| 2009-10-26 | Chase | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you, this gave me a wider understanding of the topic, as I have searched everywhere to answer the question on the gap. thanks again |
| 2009-09-30 | Rosa | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you for your exhaustive and prompt reply. I am very grateful indeed. It's a puzzling insertion by Overy, considering the list was going to receive such wide publicity. |
| 2009-04-29 | Timothy | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you so much for a prompt and informative reply |

| 2009-02-06 | Robin | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks for the links, at least it's a place to start. I'm only a layperson when it comes to history, but the similarities between these two different parts of the would during the B.C. and early A.D. truly fascinates me. |
| 2009-01-31 | Sophie | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thankyou that has helped me so much! Sophie |

| 2008-11-12 | Rich | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Dear Maria, Thank you for this great explanation. This is very interesting to me and I really appreciate your help. Sincerely, Rich |
| 2008-10-29 | Alan | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Maria... I could not add a follow-up since you are maxed out so I am putting it here on 'add rating' I do feel you are the greatest. Also when I did not hear from you last night, I asked Dr Thomas Burns, Emory University, USA about this quote. Both of you confirm no surving Rescript is available. Dr Burns states "Honorius's letter, if ever existing, no longer does. It is "refered to" by the late Roman historian, Zosimus, in his "New History...". So I will use "You must look to your own defenses." I don't think with the answers of the two preeminent scholars of the modern age, that anyone will doubt me. By the way if you are maxed out on the Latin site, and I see you get about one question a day, how can I find you again? I don't t want to let you slip out of my grasp so I will give you may e-mail. If you feel like it can I have your email or will you be de-maxed out shortly? Thanks again Al Cagle afcagle@zebra.net |

| 2008-08-01 | Cassius | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Hello I want to tell you how much I appreciate you responce. Your aswer was very detailed and the information was interesting.

| 2008-02-23 | Rich | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Dear Maria, Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. I really appreciate all the great information that you have shared with me. It was a wonderful experience visiting the "Thermae Antoninianae". We spent the better part of an afternoon going through the ruins, trying our best to mentally reconstruct what lay before us. How amazing! Sincerely, Rich |

| 2008-01-17 | Rich | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Dear Maria, Thank you Rich |
| 2008-01-16 | Rich | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Dear Maria, Thank you for your fascinating and wonderful answer to my question about the Aurelian walls. It was very kind of you to give me such a complete explanation. I now understand that the openings I saw next to Porta San Giovanni that are being used for present day vehicular traffic exist because the Romans incorporated a preexisting aqueduct (made of arches) into this section of the wall. Thank you again. Rich |
| 2008-01-13 | jim | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you, Maria, for your promptness and your clarity. You did, in fact, give me useful information as to the difference of substances covering ruins in Pompeii as opposed to Herculaneum. I was aware that the latter city was a more difficult challenge to archeologists than Pompeii. Now I know why. Thanks again. Jim |
| 2008-01-05 | Caroline | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!! MY WHOLE LATIN CLASS WAS SOOO IMPRESSED! |
