Let me start the ball rolling by suggesting just one:

That the mighty Romans ultimately adopted and were completely transformed by the very religion whose followers they had persecuted for centuries.

I've been hearing this a lot recently. Correct me if I am wrong but aren't the Scots an Irish people who invaided and conquored all the West coast of modern Scotland, and exterminated the original Pictish inhabitants of that region until King Kenneth MacAlpin in 843 AD became King of both the conquering Scots and the remaining Picts.
Historically speaking it seems that the land now known as Scotland was conquored, in a reasonably bloody manner too.

I am intregued to hear people's views about this. I myself live in Yorkshire and am of mixed Romano-British and Nordic descent.

You're throwing a dinner party and can have ANY 10 guests, any mixture, from any time span or culture. (You do NOT need even numbers of males and females, for you etiquette purists.) You don't have to worry about language barriers, and no one's going to be armed or ready to do violence over the fish course. You're just going to have a nice, lively, entertaining meal and talk through the evening.

What famous people would you invite, and why?

Your focus should be on having an interesting and enjoyable time for everyone---it can be controversial (yes, they can discuss sex, religion, and politics---those are 3 dinner-table topics no one ever gets tired of hearing!), but it's NOT supposed to end in a brawl or murder.

A lot of work for 2-12 points, so I'm expecting most people giving answers will be taking part in this mostly for the fun of sharing ideas and thoughts. Mix it up, and come play with me on this
