Does anyone have a picture of a tyrian purple imperial toga?

I cant seem to find one.

I would go with an image of Divus Gaius Iulius Caesar with gens Iulius written on it, and maybe my initials if I can fit all of that.

I have always had a special fondness for Caesar.

excellent, now where is my toga...

I wonder how different is Italian and Latin compared to old and new English?

I remember from reading Shakespeare's Julius Caesar that the original old English was almost reminiscent of using my mediocre knowledge of Italian to communicate with my Hispanic friends. Not as bad but still challenging.

Well I had help with my roman name, when I joined up with NR they gave me three choices, and the name I chose was the closest to my real name.

Giuliano Taverna becomes Gaius Iulius Taberna.

I like it, I think it suits me.
