ricardienneYou know what annoys me? Going to the supermarket and seeing fruit that says "tree-ripened" or something but that clearly isn't. Who do these companies think they're fooling? And how can they get away with such a blatant lie?
I have been tenatively pursuing information of Aquilius Regulus (The link is perhaps not a particularly reliable source, but most of if it is straight out of Pliny, so it's probably not any more inaccurate than anything else) -- a lawyer, informer, and legacy-hunter under Nero and Domitian. Not much connection with Regulus Black, then. The accounts of gold-digging and persuading little old ladies to include him in their wills put me more in mind of Tom Riddle than anything. He seems to have lived into Nerva and maybe Trajan's reign, so no clear parallel there. Oh well.
