Nah. Pity. I see Python got my old Latin teacher (priest) to play the part of the Roman soldier/teacher. Dead accurate. Even down to the sword against the throat bit. By the way, VENI, VIDI, VICI were pronounced WENI, WIDI, WIKI None of my old Latin teachers knew that. Not even the ones at university. The ones who taught Classical Greek hadn't a clue either. Sheet, if I met an old Greek or Roman, a very old Greek or Roman, s/he wouldn't have a clue what I was on about. Still love both languages, though. Despite the sadism involved in the teaching. Amazing. Years later I did an OU course in Classical Greek. Finally, an institution that knew what it was doing. By the way, that spray painting didn't work. They carried on bombing Iraq. Fecking amazing...
