The phrase 'skyrocketting' sets my teeth on edge. Just one of those phrases that gets to me...

The current crop of despotic absolute rulers of "democratic" nations include Putin, Erdogan, and Trump. Politically, it's like being faced with the worst ever game of "shag, marry, kill"!

The two right hands of the Colossus of Constantine in the Capitoline. Yup, you heard it. Two right hands. One pointing, the other holding something. The original was probably of Hadrian, but in AD 312 it was both Maxentius and then Constantine. More in my coming biography of the last Roman emperor.

Hen party out on the town in Harrogate. If cowgirls had really looked like that, cowboys would have hung up their lassos and gone into accounting...

Spent a very happy hour or more this morning having a beer and talking all things Maxentius with the fantastic Marco Aurelio Valerio Massenzio (Marco Cecini). That's a life goal complete... :-)

Today, in the Capitoline museum: The emperor Septimius Severus and his sons Geta and Caracalla. Things are slowly coming to a head in that family in the Praetorian series. Want to see what happens next? Go buy Praetorian 8: The Bandit King. Out now...

It's not polite to call out "Jeeesus!" in the Vatican, but when you turn round to this, it's a natural reaction...

"Welcome back from battle, Horatius."
"Thanks mum."
"Ready for dinner yet?"
"No. Bit of a headache. Going for a lie down first..."
