Te koop: Frans spookdorp

Afbeelding
Te koop: Frans spookdorp voor amper 330.000€ Voor wie altijd droomde van een koopje op immovlak, moet zijn blik richting Frankrijk wenden. In de streek van Limoge staat een heel dorp te koop voor een prijsje. Voor amper 330.000€ kan je de eigenaar worden van Saint-Nicolas-Courbefy. Voorlopig heeft er zich nog geen koper aangediend voor het dorpje dat ondermeer een 13de eeuwse kapel, verschillende tennisterreinen, een twintigtal gebouwen en een zwembad te bieden heeft.  Misschien is de reden voor het uitblijven van een bod, dat de voormalige inwoners niet echt lovend zijn over hun vroegere woonplaats. "We hebben hier vaak te maken met dieven, dronkaards en krakers. Dit is een spookdorp" , klinkt niet echt geruststellend. Als het dorp niet snel verkocht raakt, wordt het toegewezen aan de Franse bank Crédit Agricole. Locatie Bron: Metro

Spartan King & Retinue

Afbeelding
Sparta had two kings - one stayed in Sparta, and one lead the army in war. The king would command from the front, where his heroic deeds could be celebrated (Leonidas is a prime example of this). Spartan kings seem to have worn the transverse crest, as surviving carving seems to show this as dyed in two colors. Spartan bronzes show a high volume of hoplites in full panoply - including thigh, arm and foot armor, all made from bronze. Despite their 'Spartan' lifestyle, they still seem to have flaunted their wealth. There are records of kings on parade in Sparta riding in ornate chariots. The king also wears the latest form of the bell cuirass, which would be called the muscle cuirass. The king seems to have been accompanied by a bodyguard. No one can agree on whether this would have consisted of two men, or an entire phalanx at this time. Either way, it seems they were selected from Olympic champions and would have been exceptional warriors. Of course, you'll nee...
