So, enough flattering for today 8)

By all means, Barbara, continue flattering! It's the thing to do, especially during the Dominate! :mrgreen:

Yes, "ridders" is the same as "ritter". We've been confused with knights, vikings, cossacks (the furry hats :evil: ), you name it. If we'd been on the Elf Fantasy Fair, I suspect they would have thought us Rohirrim (the Vendel-style ridge helmets in the LotR movies, y'know).

Anyway, I had the pleasure once to overhear a woman thinking II Avgvsta to be "French soldiers". The Eagle standard, you see...So, our Principate great-grandfathers occasionally suffer the same problem. Big Grin

Some people aren't aware of the difference between the Principate, the Dominate and the "Premiere Empire" of Napoleon I... :roll:
