    The Ottawa Senators are the 3rd most winning team in the NHL of the Stanley Cup. They have won 11 Stanley Cups only exceeded by 2 by Toronto & 24 by Montreal.
    Considering there are 32 teams, 3rd most winning is not bad.
    The only catch is they won their Cups between 1903-27. Second place Toronto last won in 1967 & Montreal in 1993. With american teams having far bigger venues and ability to pay top dollar, Canadain teams have been locked out of having the best players, playing "Canada's Game".

    Denarii is not the money Roma would use… it is a type of coin.. a Denarius is 4 (four) Sestertii. Sestertius is called “HS” and is the unit of account (like the US dollar is the unit of account while $20 can be a $20 bill, two $10, 4x $5 and mix and match.
    A Republican denarius was 10 AS (copper coin) and still 4x Sestertii (small silver coin… Sestertius means “2 and one half”).
    But in 1st century BC, the denarius was change to 16 smaller AS and the Sestertius became a large bronze like coin. In the new Roman show “Those about to die” use Sestertii most the time.

    You ever find it odd that anytime anything has to do with the history of Rome it’s always a British person covering it? Or how in all the movies and shows (not counting barbarian series) they are always played by Brit’s? And the Romans were not even Anglo Saxon? They owned the English territory for a cup of coffee. And the Brit’s are the ones that rock them the most.

    • @tatogod3573
      @tatogod3573 2 месяца назад

      That's mostly just because of what we associate with those voices. The reason it's usually an English guy covering Roman stuff is because people with English accents make great narrators, they tend to have pleasing voices with an air of sophistication, hence why most famous narrators are British, that really goes in general but also it's obviously an English speaking thing, if you were a native Spanish speaker watching Spanish videos on the topic it most likely wouldn't be a British guy. Same thing goes for the accents in media, we associate those posher accents in England with high society, regalness, and Europeans in general. It's a way of communicating to the audience information about the characters, and also because it's what we're familiar with.
