I'm torn between GOD NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

And "This is going to be hilarious, I can't wait."

Maybe I'll just read Emperor Mage every time she publishes a new book, and pretend it's current.

Wait but, Carthak in the previous incarnation really did not resemble the Romans at all!?

[ricardienne]

Well...*puts on pedantic seeing-Romans-everywhere glasses* they were more Byzantine/Alexandria/vaguely Carthaginian, I guess, but iirc the description of the army was pretty Roman, and, also, I feel like decadent and vaguely-mediterranean evil empires are sort of always looking back to Rome...

...so maybe it will be just a few more Roman elements, like gladiators/throwing people to the lions (and obviously we will feel sorry for the lions, because that's just cruelty to animals, you guys!).

All I know is that no Roman wore fantastic makeup in any Biblical epic I've ever seen. :)

I love Ozorne's makeup SO MUCH. She'd better not try to take it away from me.

[ricardienne]

Yeah, but just add some fantastic makeup, and change the togas to something brighter in this kind of thing and it would more or less work.

Haaaaaaaa, I'll look forward to that.
