a Spoliarium was a room in the amphitheatres in ancient Rome. Defeated and badly wounded gladiators where brought to this room and executed after the fights. In the German translation of the work "Satyricon" by Petronius (27-66 A.D.) there is a short comment about that by Harry S. Schnur. There is also a famous picture by Juan Luna called "The Spoliarium" which is showing such a scene.

Lupus.
Lupus means "wolf." "Werewolf" is "versipellis" (skin-changer). This is the word Petronius used in his novel "The Satyricon," which was written by at least 66 A.D. and describes a man who turned himself into a wolf in the moon light (Satyricon 62). See Oxford Latin Dictionary or Lewis and Short. "Versipellis" often means "werewolf" but can mean "anyone who changes his/her form or shape."

There were four sacks of ancient Rome.
In 390 BC Rome was sacked by a band of Gauls. These Gauls defeated the Roman army just north of Rome. The Romans then opened the gates of the city, which was sacked. The walls of the city had fallen into disrepair and were easy to breach. Therefore, the Romans felt that opening the city to the attacker would lead to less destruction.
In the early 5th century AD, Honorius, the emperor of the western part of the Roman Empire, refused to negotiate the demands made by Alaric I, the king of the Visigoths. As a result, Alaric invaded Italy and besieged Rome three times. On the third occasion he sacked it as well.
In 455 Rome was sacked by the Vandals who declared war on the usurper emperor of the western part of the Roman Empire, Petronius Maximus. Petronius married the widow of Valentinian III, the previous emperor and got his son to marry Eudocia, the elder daughter of Valentinian III, to create ties with the imperial family. This ruined the ambitions of Genseric, the king of the Vandals. He claimed that, Eudocia had been betrothed his eldest son, Huneric, as part of a peace treaty he struck with Valentinian and that the actions of Petronius Maximus invalidated this peace treaty with Valentinian III. He then set sail to attack Rome. When the city surrendered, he sacked it.
In 546 Totila, the king of the Ostrogoths sacked Rome during the Gothic War between the Ostrogoths and the Byzantine Empire (535-554). The Byzantines wanted to oust the Ostrogoths from Italy. Totila wanted to reconquer the region around Rome and besieged the city for almost a year before she fell.

Europe due to the fact that it is where it originated, as well as the fact that it has been well developed that werewolves have Lycan blood which was originally made from Europe.
The earliest written record of werewolves were from Ancient Greece, through the writings of Petronius (born 27AD, died 66AD), a lot of other writings date from the middle ages.
Several myths surround the origins of werewolves, one of the oldest being Zeus turning Lycaon into a wolf (thus the origin of the word "lycan").

This is a line from the Cena Trimalchionis in Petronius' Satyricon, famously quoted by T.S. Eliot at the opening of The Waste Land. It is a mixture of Latin and Greek (Latin narration, Greek dialogue):
For I saw, with my very own eyes, that certain Sybil in Cumae hanging in a bottle (or jar), and when the boys asked her, "Sibyl, what do you want?" she responded, "I want to die."

Michelangelo's first sculptural commission were the statue of St. Petronius, the statue of St. Proclus and a statue of an angel, which he sculpted for the Arca di San Domenico (Ark of Saint Dominic),a monument containing the remains of Saint Dominic in the Chapel of Dominic of the Basilica of San Domenico in Bologna, in 1494-95.
Michelangelo's first commissioned painting was in 1500 or 1501. It was for painting a panel for the church of Sant'Agostino in Rome. However, he gave the sum he received back. It is thought that it was the Entombment, a work which remained unfinished when Michelangelo returned to Florence.

The wer- or were- in wer(e)wulf means "man"; it is related to Latin vir with the same meaning.
Petronius (Satyricon 62) used the substantive "versipellis," ("versi-" change, turn < verto + "pellis" skin) which means "skin-changer," to describe a man who, under the moon light, turned into a wolf. Its tropical meaning is "sly," or in the Vulgate "double dealer." Petronius died in about 66 A.D., so the concept of werewolfism (i.e. lycanthropy) was known to the Romans.
In Fact, the Greeks and Romans had other myths about werewolves (cf. the myth of Lycaon or the Neuri).
The plural of "versipellis" is "versipelles," and it is a third declension noun and adjective, see the Oxford Latin Dictionary or Lewis and Short.

Self-appointed emperors in the west were: usurpers who were proclaimed by their legions and came into conflict with the actual emperor; Petronius Maximus after he was involved in the assassination of Valentinan III; Avitus, who was supported militarily by the Visigoths.
Odoacer did not proclaim himself emperor. After deposing Romulus Augustus he declared that Rome did not need an emperor, claimed that Romulus Augustus had given him governance of Italy and only asked for patrician status. Zeno, the emperor of the east, recognised Odoacer as governor of Italy on his behalf, provided that he recognised Julius Nepos (who had been deposed by Romulus Augustus' father) as emperor of the west. Jiulius Nepos was murdered by his own military leaders four years later.

Trimalchio is an early version of The Great Gatsby
I don't think that there's a character called Trimalchio in Trimalchio, or in The Great Gatsby.
It seems to be some sort of symbol, connected to a character of that name in something called Satyricon by Petronius (AD 27-66). In that text, Trimalchio is a freed slave who has grown wealthy and hosts a lavish banquet; that's an obvious link with Gatsby so I suspect that was the reason for that earlier title.

Three of those statements are true: (2) Kush controlled all of Egypt at one point - 25th Pharaonic Dynasty AND (4) Rome invaded Kush (unsuccessfully) - Rome tried to conquer Kush around 22 B.C.E. and had Petronius lead the attack. However, the Kushites were able to defeat this invasion and established peaceful relations with Rome afterward AND (5) Kush was conquered by Aksum.
(1), and (3) are false. Since the Aksumites conquered Kush, it could not have been the Greeks. Since Kush was in Sudan and Egypt, it was not in Saudi Arabia.

Ancient Rome has given us some of the world's greatest literature, such as the works of Virgil, Horace, Terrance, Plautus, Catalus, Ovid and Petronius. Even their histories, from the relatively simple histories of Julius Caesar to the more advanced writings of Tacitus rank with world literature. The Romans also served as preservationists in a way, for the Greek writings and literature. Among the ruins of Herculaneum, the archaeologists found libraries which had scrolls of many of the original Greek plays/works which were thought to be lost.They are working to read them at present.

The language that the Romans wrote in was Latin or Greek. The alphabet that they used for their Latin writing was the same as we use today except that it had no "j" or "w". (The letters "y" and "Z" were added in the late republic to words of Greek origin.) If they were writing in Greek, they would naturally use the Greek alphabet.

The council of Jerusalem was important in that it safeguarded the truth of the Gospel from deterioration into legalistic keeping of the Law. Such would have detracted from the clear Gospel truth of salvation alone through believing in the blood of Jesus Christ on the cross, and returned to a works-based system. The full details of the reasons for the council being called and proceedings and the judgment are in Acts chapter 15.
Here is the text of the letter that was sent out from the council:
23.... The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia. 24Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment: 25It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, 26Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 27We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth. 28For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; 29That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
