Comment Comment by sbuttgereit The very first sentence in your article is:"It began in ancient Rome."It's not there as a quote, it's not there as "it was claimed to begin in ancient Rome". It's just the simple assertion: "It began in ancient Rome."If you didn't really mean to assert that statement or suggest that it's true, then, frankly, you've written that pretty poorly. parent sbuttgereit 3 months ago
