An excellent subject indeed! The Ninth getting all the attention: I guess that there are more British Roman historians than Egyptian ones. Plus, all that "Eagle of the Ninth" publicity, the Ninth being shoehorned in all kinds of cinematic and literary historic (ahistorical?) situations. No such luck for the Deiotariana.
