Nice one. (And glad to see that Chris is still centurion par excellence.)

LOL! Nice one Centurion!

Excellent- combining my two passions- Romans and rugby!

And I spotted the Tungrian auxillary shields as well in the Celts- clearly the they've been following the exploits of their Batavian brothers in the revolt of 69!
