GNU Terry. May you never be forgotten.

GNU Terry. He won't be forgotten.

(By the way, I'm curious about the book he's holding? *squints* I think I can see the words "Aeneas", "Tacitus", "Epicurus" ... but the rest is obscured. Does anyone know?

For anyone who's not aware (and I doubt anyone here is): Aeneas is (one of the) mythical founders of Rome. Tacitus is a Roman author on military matters. Epicurus is a Greek philosopher).

 

[Tonyblack]

I think it says "Tacticus" as in the famous Discworld General. I can't read the rest.

Now that I look at it again ... it definitely says:

- Aeneas
- Tacticus
- ??? Either Epicurus, or (if it's Discworld-related) ... huh. Nothing in the Discworld Dictionary that starts with 'Epi' (just Ephebe).

Epigrammaticus, maybe? (As in, Latatian for a guy that writes epigrams)?
