[meteorite-list] In search of a hammer

[E.P. Grondine]

Hi all - 

Going through some notes from 2003, I found this:

>From Julius (IULII: OBSEQUENTIS AB ANNO URBIS CONDITAE
DV PRODIGIORUM LIBER)  

"Consulship of Gnaeus Octavius and Licius Cinna (87
BCE)

"56a. While Cinna and Marius were displaying a cruel
rage in their conduct of the civil war, at Rome in the
camp of Gnaeus Pompeius [Strabo] the sky seems to
fall, weapons and standards were hit, and soldiers
struck dead.  Pompeius [Strabo] himself was struck
dead by the 
blast of a heavenly body."

good hunting,
Ed
