So since there’s no explanation I’m going to assume no one completely got it either… I see a roman hoplite at 4, the Roman Legion at 148 holding a Roman Standard… but why? Why 148? why Rome? Why? They were collapsing in the 5th century. I can’t figure 5 into 148 or Rome at all. What are we all missing?

And this is why counting doesn’t help me get to sleep. Just too interesting. Glad I’m not the only one.

What’s with the scepter? An inner fear of being overrun by religious zealots?
