    I was gonna say Manuel I Komnenos or Justinian. But since he is a Roman Emperor then he's got to be Constantine. Even though I'd never seen a statue of him with a beard.

    Why AUTOKRATWR and not AUTOKRATOR?
    I know you're Greek, but I've seen spellings with a O instead of a W.

    And yes, I agree with you. Voted others.
    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?
