M. Porcius Cato Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Who the heck is "L. Silvanius Florus"? He was my #2 in this game. Did they intend that to be Annaeus Florus, the historian? That's my guess. L. Annaeus Florus, P. Annaeus Florus, L. Annius Florus, P. Annius Florus all refer to the author of the poem, I don't want to be Caesar, please, to tramp round the Britons, weak at the knees, [one line lost] in the Scythian frosts to freeze. Any ideas on what was in the lost line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nephele Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 That's my guess. L. Annaeus Florus, P. Annaeus Florus, L. Annius Florus, P.

P.Clodius Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 All referring to Hadrian of course....On the subject of Bacchus, he must have been most revered at Cato's domus..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nephele Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Apologies to any Caesar fans whom I may have offended, but my geekiness could not be contained when presented with the opportunity to add poetry lines with smutty references decipherable by fellow Roman history geeks. -- Nephele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Augusta Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 That's my guess. L. Annaeus Florus, P. Annaeus Florus, L. Annius Florus, P.

I am beginning to think that you are unhealthily obsessed with our Caesar's proclivities It's as I always suspected - you're only jealous!

M. Porcius Cato Posted March 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 All referring to Hadrian of course.. Yes, that's a good point. Maybe I don't want to be Caesar, please, to tramp round the Britons, weak at the knees, [suffering your peripatetic disease] in the Scythian frosts to freeze. Bah! Hadrian just doesn't have the comedic potential as the Venereal One. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nephele Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Trust you, MPC! I am beginning to think that you are unhealthily obsessed with our Caesar's proclivities It's as I always suspected - you're only jealous! Jealous of what? But you've missed your opportunity, Augusta, with that inspiring "Caesar's proclivities" line: I don't want to be Caesar, please, Nor obsessed with his proclivities. For I have gazed (with eyebrow raised) On that sexy black toga of MPC's... I mean the original MPC, of course. I'm not quite certain whether our MPC wears a fetish toga...? -- Nephele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kosmo Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 That's my guess. L. Annaeus Florus, P. Annaeus Florus, L. Annius Florus, P.
