It's been quite a week. We learned on Thursday that my daughter has passed the entrance exam for Lancaster Girls' Grammar School, which is a great relief. We've just been to her favourite Italian restaurant to celebrate. So that's her sorted out once she leaves junior school at the end of this academic year.
And I've been beavering away painting Republican Romans. Here are the Principes. Those who know a bit about Romans are probably going to complain that they have spears and not pila. In my defence, there is some evidence that the Principes didn't start to use Pila until after the war with Pyrrhus.
