Can you find me some sandals to go with this toga?

AIBU to think that my slaves don't need a day off?

Who is your favourite person in the Forum?

What else?

Have just discovered that eunuch does indeed have full complement of bollocks.

Am sending him back to Honest Titus's Cash & Carry Slave and Handmaiden Emporium first thing tomorrow morning.

I am hoping for a full refund and a few denarii off a new latrine attendant. The last one we had never really 'wiped' properly Hmm

My gf snogs men who brush their teeth in urine. AIBU to love and hate this at the same time?

zukiecat, you can mention the spectacular views - it will one very, very soon

We are renting a villa in Aqae Sulis next year on our trek north to conquer that skirt wearing tribe.

Mary Beard hasn't been invented yet.

woahwoah · 27/08/2012 17:20

Get Mary Beard over here now!

fussychica, 5000 men?! Be careful, zukiecat will feed you to the lions if you carry on behaving like that.

DizzyBeeisSchoolShoeShopping · 27/08/2012 17:16

zukiecat, be afraid. Be very afraid - and sell the villa now before prices fall.

But it was only 5000 men - perhaps I'd have been better stopping at the end of the Century.

DizzyBeeisSchoolShoeShopping · 27/08/2012 17:03

fussychica, yes - the fact that they were all wearing togas was a clue that it might not be a good idea!

fussychica · 27/08/2012 17:01

Think I might have Legionnaires disease - was I so wrong to sleep with them all?

DizzyBeeisSchoolShoeShopping · 27/08/2012 16:33

oh, and another thing, that troublesome Iceni tribe in Essex are being a pain again, they've let a lion on the loose again. What can I do about them this time?

DizzyBeeisSchoolShoeShopping · 27/08/2012 16:31

Since we got these new lead cups my memory has not been what it was...should I be worried?

LineRunner · 27/08/2012 16:29

Please help me with some advice, the situation in my family is getting out of hand. Years ago my grandad Hadrian built a really big wall, with special pointing and everything, and everyone loved it and it got a special award for suppressing the natives.

Now my brother Antoninus says he wants to build a really big wall as well, just a few miles further north. How can I convince him that it's futile and vain and no-one will ever care, and that within a few years all anyone will talk about is how much better Hadrian's wall always was? Please help.

Keema, as long as you bear in mind you cannot trust the Phoenicans as far as you can throw them, you shoukd be fine.
