The Life of Amulius Brutus

[Tamur]

Agreed on the distance, I never quite got down to eye-to-eye level with the fellow in the writeup. Will have to work on that!

I'll give version two a try, his son just finished wiping out the Greeks and the Macedonians, and he's only 45.

[The Wizard]

Yes, I agree with ol' Ludens here - it sounds like a story which could have been very interesting had it been written in the form of a novel, not a history.

Still - quite an interesting tale, seeing the fact that I don't really like such things for AAR's.

This does indeed read like a history. However, this is what you were intending to write, so you can't be faulted at all for that. Obituaries never really show 'the inner person', they read as overviews of the deceased's life.

If you want to get deeper into the character of what sounds like a very interesting general, I suggest writing more about him in the form of, for want of a better phrase, a story about him. Maybe chronicle one of his great campaigns? Just ideas though, I thought this was excellent.
