I'm reading at the minute Rosemary Sutcliff's series of novels set in Roman Britain (starting with The Eagle of the Ninth). I'm going slowly through Frontier Wolf at the minute, because next after that is The Lantern Bearers and, ow!

Incidentally, it was only this evening that I finally made the connection between the cognomen Aquila and the big birds stuck up on the poles. I haven't the slightest excuse for it, seeing as the characters repeatedly refer to the Legions as the Eagles, and I had explicitly made the connection between 'Aquila' and the family nose. :)

I don't seem have a suitable icon for this, really; I'm using Ireland, north because it has a few bits of Britian showing at the sides.

Also, is coughingbear ok?

I deleted a roleplaying journal once and then changed my mind, and it was still there about eighteen months later. I think it depends on how keen they're being.

I think they're planning to step up the frequency of the purges, now they've got better infrastructure. The promotion of rename tokens lately would tie in with that.
