How do i make the oil in my deepfryer of higher quality without buying new oil?

 

Money is tight.

Run it through a coffee filter to remove contaminants, clean the fryer, then put the oil back into the fryer and heat it up to remove any germs. There are other ways, but this is the easiest that I know of.

Before the First Punic War, what is one of the most famous defeat of the Roman army?

Why did they lose?

How is the victory called?

Either Allia or Caudine Forks. In Allia the Celts pretty much just pummeled them and sacked the city. It was called the pillage of Allia or somesuch. In the Caudine Forks, the Romans marched into a trap and were forced to surrender (humiliatingly, may I add) and agree to a peace treaty. The Roman Senate disregarded this though, however the victory was in favor of the Samnites, and was called The Caudine Peace.

Also these battles, but there is one particular defeat, wich cost a lot also for the enemy, a certain king of Epirus and Macedon...

Oh, when Pyrrhus of Epirus invaded Apulia or when he defended Tarentum? The Romans lost because Pyrrhus had superior cavalry (and elephants! :o) The battle in Apulia was called the battle of Asculum and the battle for Tarentum was called the battle of Heraclea.

Why does your Display image remind me of a bearded and mustache'd Christian Bale. This has been bothering me for days. Whenever i see your name i think oh there goes Christian Bale. Just back up far away from your computer screen and glance at it quickly. It's him. I am going crazy?

Elephants, exactly. Without them, he would not be able to defeat the romans. Not that he gained such a victory also with their help, though.

Now, at the time of the First Punic War:

Why did Carthage, with such a powerful navy of 130 "Quinquireme", lost against 120 Romans warships (Romans aren't renown for their ability at fighting on the sea)

Because the Romans had developed a little trick. I believe it was called the corvus, and it was basically a bridge that could be placed between ships so that the Romans could board the enemy ships and battle on there. The reason they did this is because they had little chance of victory if they had used traditional naval tactics (ramming and sinking ships), and they were better fighters in CQC than the Carthaginians.

There is also another device similar that they called the Harpax or something that was strong and more effective because it could be shot at far distance and pull enemy ships in rendering them helpless. It was first introduced in the Battle of... Naulous?

 

 

Just thought you'd think it would be interesting to know.....
