[Your Hidden Roman Name]

Echo_of_your_past, I've scrambled your name for you to proctect your privacy. I also had to remove your middle name, as it was just a few too many letters to work with. Here you go!

 

You are a member of the Lusia gens, having come to this gens first as a slave of the praetorian prefect, Lusius Geta (who served under the emperor Claudius in 48 C.E.). When Lusius made you his freedwoman, you took his gens name (in the feminine form), as was customary.

 

Your cognomen of Rhodanola indicates your place of origin -- as your Roman captors had named you for the Rhodanus river in Gaul (today known as the Rhone river), from the banks of which you had been captured.

 

Your full Roman name is:

 

Lusia Rhodanola

= sawahnalrdooly -wy +ui

[Where Is Every One From?]

Hi, thank you all...actually, although there is less history on the females of Rome, I am fascinated with some of the female figures in roman history. I love the story of Queen Boudicca (Boadicea) and the bravery that she had going after the romans. I also enjoy pictures of the buildings, sculptures and coins. The romans (and all other people in ancient times) had a different viewpoint of things and i am interested in trying to comprehend the way they viewed things.

[Enemies of Roman Empire]

Hi all!! I'm new in the forum!! So, I'd like to ask your opinion about the peoples who attack the Empire: I think that the most civilizated peoples after the romans were the Persian and the Dacians, but they weren't so much strong for a full-scale victory against the romans; for you, who was the greatest military menace for that Empire??

 

p.s.: sorry for my bad english, I'm from Italy : )

 

 

Hannibal (Carthage) was a definite thorn in Romes side and could have changed history
