Interesting but the earliest extant Greco-Roman historians, Livy, Plutarch and Polybius make no mention of any mirrors. That does not come until Galen in the mid-2d century AD some 4 centuries after Marcellus took Syracuse.
Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.
