Nice, I particularly like the Auxilary archers - they may be appearing in a Fantasty kingdom near you!

Has Mrs T got a little bell to request care and attention?

Did the Praetorians ever fight a battle, I thought they just killed emperors in the palace?

The Praetorians fought in many campaigns over the years, eventually being disbanded after their defeat at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge in 312AD.

A few examples, the figures here would do for the Emperor Otho's Praetorians at the Battle of Bedriacum in the Year of the Four Emperors, Domitian's Praetorians who were used in the Rhine campaign or the Praetorian's used by Trajan in Dacia and Mesopotamia.

So when she has it will be :-

"Philip!!!!! Have you mucked those horses out yet?" :)
"Philip!!!!! "The cats been sick again, looks like  you been feeding it little men?." :)
"Philip!!!!! Bring me a nice cup or tea and a scone."  ( No idea why I chose scone- perhaps some phsycologist could explain) :)

Cheers

 ;D ;D ;D ;D

I don't think she's ever called me 'Philip'. Maybe the day we got married ?

a)...(Sigh).....It's the weekend...So I will be doing my secondary job as a qualified equine waste disposal operative :P (After I've fed the chickens....and the cats and the dogs.....and checked none of the sheep have keeled over during the night.)

b)..No.....I never get accused of feeding them the little men....But that reminds me, there's a 'hairball' waiting to be cleaned up....DEEP JOY !  :'(

c)...Coffee and biccies yes......Tea and scones....No.  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Cheers - Phil
