testimony of a man like Athenodorus, in whose integrity their God Augustus had complete confidence, to persuade their God Augustus that the fellow's expulsion was justified. Athenodorus succeeded in ridding the city of this blood-sucker, but afterwards found it impossible to return to Rome as he ' had intended. He was needed by his nephews to help them rebuild the city administration on a firm foundation. Augustus, to whom he wrote a detailed report of his actions, showed his gratitude and confidence by granting Tarsus, as a personal favour to him, a five years' remission from the Imperial tribute. I corresponded regularly with the good old man until his death two years later at the age of eighty-two. Tarsus honoured his memory with an annual festival and sacrifice; at which the leading citizens took turns to read his Short History of Tarsus through from beginning to end, starting at sunrise and finishing after sunset.
Germanicus wrote to me occasionally, but his letters were as brief as they were affectionate: a really good commander has no time for writing letters Home to his family, his entire time between campaigns being spent in getting to know his men and officers, in studying their comfort, in increasing their

The destructive nature of an EMP was discovered during early American nuclear weapons testing. When an atomic bomb was exploded high above Earth in 1958, the sudden release of gamma radiation in the air resulted in a massive EMP wave. Street lamps as far away in Hawaii were blown out while navigation systems were disrupted for 18 hours by residual fluctuating interference.Non-Nuclear OptionsSince then, scientists have researched EMP and other "directed energy weapons" and developed designs that don't require a massive nuclear explosion to create devastating EMP bursts. One such "conventional" EMP weapon, for example, is the so-called flux compression generator, or FCG.It's a bomb that uses a tube of conventional explosives surrounded by a coil of copper wire. A battery charges the coil and creates an electromagnet. But when the bomb explodes, the electrically charged coil shorts out and compresses the magnetic waves into the destructive EMP.
