Romans

[lurkerwithout]

Rereading Turtledove's The Videssos Cycle, about a Roman legion that gets transported to a low fantasy world and become part of the mercenary armies of the major Empire there. And I get to a part in the 3rd book where the commander, tribune Marcus Scaurus has to discipline two rival legionairres for their feuding. The name of the two minor characters? Titus Pullo and Lucius Vorenus. Maybe those are just REALLY common Roman commoner names, but still an interesting coincidence for a book originally published in 1987...
