The Story of the Chickens

Clodius was a general of the brand new roman navy during the first punic war s in the two forties b c. He is sent out to fight the carthaginians at war, kind of in the moltary region. The chickens he throws over the bo just wangs them into the sea,. screaming, if they won't eat, let them drink. And then marches head first into a catastrophic defeat and loses 93 of his 123 boats. Then has to go home, where he is prosecuted for treason, basically because he defied everybody so badly. So claudius goes down in history as a sacrilegious and impulsive, terrible general.
