Hi Bernard

La Malice was steel or perhaps iron, but in Roman Times did the Romans have steel or even iron weapons?  I thought they had only bronze, which would have made it pointless melting La Malice down with the other weapons.  Literary license perhaps, or simply the usual church relic invention?
Still, a rattling good yarn and up to your usual standards.  I’m looking forward to September and “Pagan Lord”, but waiting with bated breath for the next Starbuck!! :-)
