In January 897, something unprecedented took place in Rome.

Pope Formosus, the leader of the Catholic Church, was put on trial.

What made this unprecedented wasn’t that the pope was on trial, although that was unprecedented.

The remarkable thing was that Pope Formosus had died nine months earlier, and it was his exhumed corpse that was in the courtroom.

Sometimes they measured down to the millimeter and a heavily marked and fortified.

Other times they run through desolate areas where hardly anyone pays attention to the actual location.

The latter was the case with much of the US/Mexican border in the early 20th century, and it caused a great deal of confusion.

There are many factors that go into the outcome of a battle.

The number of soldiers, training, supplies, the weather, and the terrain the battle is fought on all play a part in determining the outcome.

However, the biggest factor is the one that no one can control: luck.

There has never been a battle where luck played a greater role than one that took place over 2,000 years ago.

There is a particular type of number that is so common we have keys on calculators to handle them.

However, thousands of years ago, their discovery was so upsetting to one group that it may have led to the destruction of their religion and possibly the murder of the man who made the discovery.
