Yes, Heraklia!

My thoughts exactly: C'MON Servilia and Octavia! *G*

I "personally" had trouble with the flashbacks to Vorenus and Pullo's "fishing" affair, so I had to remind myself using that HBO's page you gave a link to:

The storm that sank their ship took most of the 13th Legion with it, and Vorenus and Pullo find themselves washed ashore a small island of sand in the Adriatic, surrounded by the bodies of less fortunate soldiers. ... Vorenus ... focuses his remaining energy on "scratching ... on a stone". Pullo, optimism in tact, turns his attention towards "spearing fish"...

... They eventually collapse from exhaustion and dehydration, and awake to find themselves ... again ... greeted by ... Pompey's "camp". The fallen general tries to pass ... but they are on ... him. ... excited Pullo ... Vorenus, ready to pounce on ...

When they finally return to Caesar's camp, Vorenus must inform the general of their encounter, and explain why they failed to bring back the man ... broken, propped on a horse...

This didn't make me wince tho (nor does my reading the HBO page like the devil! *EG*), and neither should you wince so much, Herky... I bet your mom told you, too, that it might stay that way...




Here's some of my award winning "amphoras", to Dr. Fantham and others... thanking for a great discussion!



and of course "Aqua Fennica", in amphora and modern "binoculars":



And here's one to anybody who doesn't like this discussion:
