Neither was the Spanish one! Though Pijus is a "latinized" form of the Spanish word PIJO, meaning some snobbish rich and stupid person, what in Mexico is called a FRESA (also strawberry)... And, of course, Aitor has nothing to do with that! He fits better the Anglo-German meaning... hock:

Another time, i do'nt agree with my friend FAVENTIANUS. :twisted:
Pijo in spanish means too the pennis. So Pijus Magnificus means a great pennis, like the german and english versions.
I'll propose the Cohors Prima Gallica web page to the award, when it's works.... :lol: :twisted: :evil:

Oh well, you're making a mountain out of a grain of sand... :oops:
Of course, the aka has nothing to do with myself, it was just a way to show the rest of my group that, in my opinion, it is not good to take too seriously a Roman 'identity' and name... :roll:

It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.

Hi there,
I'm Christoph, and I am researching the history and development of the Imperial Fleets on the Northern Frontier a the University of Nottingham - at least working with the little material there is!
Its brilliant to see so many interested people here - if anyone knows anything of value about Roman Naval activity let me know!
Must be off - so much to read here, so little time!

I'm definitely new...
My name is Trey, I'm originally from Hickory, North Carolina, but I currently reside in Washington DC while attending George Washington University. I became interested in Rome after my mother bought me a wooden gladius when I was eight or nine and I decided to pursue it in college after two classes, one with Dr. Eric Cline, and the other with Professor Joseph Stumpf...two excellent academics.
As far as specific interests in Rome, I enjoy everything from the Republic to the Empire. I specifically enjoy Roman Britain, and Post Roman Britain (including the legend of King Arthur). I also find the mystery surrounding Legio IX Hispana to be very interesting....I look forward to enjoying all that this site and forum has to offer.

Welcome to RAT, Trey!
I myself focused on Roman Britain, before I got sidetracked by the navy and the Samnites... :roll:

Hi Trey,
I´m not sure if there´s any mystery concerning Legio IX, but have you read about Vortigern yet?
