Have you ever read Steven Saylor's Roma Sub Rosa mysteries? You can get a great sense of the way Roman society worked from that. For example, Barbara, as the daughter of a Tribunal, is probably a Plebian, whilst Dick is a Patrician. There would actually be more scandal at him marrying Babs than if he married a freed slave like Kori! The Romans were less racist as they were social elitists!
A suggestion: Don't worry about names too much. So long as you include a 'Dramitas Personae' in your author's notes, most of us will get it.
no seriously, thank you! and thanks for the suggestion too!
actually here in Italy you are forced to study latin in some schools so I had five painfull years of translations in high school, but I'm impressed at how fast my brain is purging knowledge away XD;
anyway, yes, Jim is supposed to be a plebeian, so does Babs. I don't actually expanded on the relationship between Babs and the "Bats" as when I imagined this AU as Babs was jumped to the 'BoP' stage from the start. (truth is I am not that much of a Dick/Babs person hence the thought actually.. didn't cross my mind al all.LOL. XD; but you are right, it would be difficult for them!)
Wonderful, warm & fuzzy picture. :]
thank you a lot! ^ ^
