That's one of my favourite periods of history, Blackberry Cat. This is a great entry, and nicely set out as well, I must say.
Good one!

very much 
Republican Rome is a bit of a hobbyhorse of mine so I may eventually do some more entries on the period, especially as the only other 1 I could find was Julius Caeser, not 1 of my favourites.

For me it has to be Sulla. He's the pivot point, the one who dared to do the unthinkable. Liked a skinfull too. You've got to love him.

hes a biggy but he was not a very nice person, even by the standards of the time
my imaginary cat (not allowed any pets where I live) is called Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix
I was thinking of getting him a companion and calling him Lucius Cornelius Cinna but the 2 of them didn't get on in real life so it might be a bad idea
