What are your great scary moments from ancient history, real or imagined? Being under Versuvius when it erupted, being a gladiator or worse Russsell Crowe (only joking *s*) or maybe being a centurion with a heart condition when Cleopatra says to you 'don't worry darling we 'ave all night and I've given the maids the weekend off.'




Nero to the Senate: I say chaps I've just written this little piece which I 've called 'Pax et Bellum' and
thought I'd recite it to you all tonight!

Caesar's unsuspecting surgeon rushing up to Brutus and Cassius: he's got a fair few flesh wounds but thankfully he's
reasonably lucid and sitting up in bed, asking for you.

Varus addressing his centurions in the Teutoburgian Forest:
'guys there's been a slight change to operation KICK GERRY CELT UP THE BACKSIDE, we're now calling it RUN LIKE HELL'!!!
















































































Varrus addressing his tribunes in the Teutoburgian forest:
now then guys there's been a slight alteration to operation KICK GERRY UP THE BACKSIDE, we're now going to call it RUN LIKE HELL!

I'm sure you lot can do better?
