    Agricola, Cicero, Publius.... I kind of wish I had thought to use one for my username now, feel like I'm outside the clubhouse window looking in. :(

    Don't forget his trusted sidekick Tiro. In my head Tiro is always a dog.

    Cicero used to be a quivering mess before he spoke.

    Roman Abramovich, Roman Polanski...

    The whole Roman empire summed up by two people, enormous wealth and kiddy fiddling.

    I first used boards back in 2000, if memory serves me right.

    I can't even remember my original username. Although I do make a point of changing my name once or twice a year - generally when the hatemail and venom gets too intense :).

    In recent times, I've had a preference for classical style.

    Ah, Herodotus, you father of history!

    Talking of great men and their trusty sidekicks, you and Macbeth don't seem to hang around together much any more?
