Ummm...<br>

I dont think mice ever used the muscled cuirass. And the segmentata looks a little cheesy... I smell a RAT!<br>

I was curious to know what legion that mouse was from. I emailed the company, inquiring, and they were able to send me this picture back. It may shed some light on this legion's demise.<br>

Tiberius,<br>

Look closely at the figure. The sword is on the left side. I think the image got reversed somehow, and what appears as a IX in your image, but is obscured in the original, when properly restored would be XXI... the XXI Ratax, most certainly...<br>

Aha!<br>
<br>
When you do a zoom in and employ graphic imaging techniques you can see how poorly the second "I" of XII was shodily disguised.<br>

Good try, but you were both wrong!<br>

Surely RATAX is a mistranslation and it is, in actuality,<br>
<br>
Ratpax..<br>
<br>
Just as the real nomen of Legio XXX is "Dominatrix" <p>Legio XX<br>
Fortius Conamur<br>

Perhaps some of the other translations are wrong as well....Possibly XX "Valeria Victrix" was meant to mean XX "Victoria's Secret"? <p>Magnus/Matt<br>

Aha! That explains why he's wearing one of their tunics! Otherwise though, Douglas Adams was clearly right - the mice clearly are in overall control of all information and knowledge. Look how accurate their armour is, despite being featured somewhere in the Public Domain, a nefarius place normally inhabited by the worst excesses of Holywood.<br>
