And I'm based in Surrey too- if I can be of any help, just ask (though no guarantees that any answer will be correct or even mildly useful!)

You'll get a traditional legionary brand; the number of your choice will be burned into your forearm. Don't worry about travel excpenses or anything, we'll come to you. It's not painless but it's quick :lol:
In all seriousness, just go for SPQR. The Romans, AFAIK didn't use the punctuation we do. Try finding the inscription from any classical structure, like the one in my avatar, and show it to the artist.

Greetings everyone...I actually joined up in October and finally getting around to post. I am very new to all things "Roman Army" and have found this forum very educational, if not overwhelming!
Glad to be here...
May you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
