Think about it, if you were as old as she was, would you remember the exact date of the defeat of the Roman empire?MRPPony wrote:I wonder if they'll decide to go back 1000 years and take a look at what the hell's been going on.
On January 1000 years ago, Sombra took over! We threw him in prisonment on March.
April 1, 1000 years ago, Discord came about and created chaos in equestria! We petrified him August.
October, 1000 years ago my dear sister got too jelly as the ponies gave me most of the credit and she attacked me. I banished her in December.
Unless they plan on adding more villains, sums it up about right, but damn 1000 years ago was one hell of a year.
I believe the Roman Empire became a Republic in 50 B.C., when Julius Caesar died. If I remember correctly, the actual nation of Rome (at least the Western half) was dead sometime in the middle of the third century, c.1,600-1,650 years ago.
So yes, I probably would remember it even better if I experienced it.
