#- HK #had another novel idea based upon that news story about the mosaic at Armageddon being moved to the Museum of the Bible #and how it dates back to the time of Christian persecution by the Roman empire #and yet one of the chief donors to the construction of the church it’s in was a centurion #and now I have this character in my head who is the cynical and ambitious wife of a centurion #who likes him well enough before he converts but is disgusted and disappointed in him afterwards #not because he’s switched religions (this is just the Unknown God right?) but because he’s behaving like a ‘weak’ man #in deferring to her judgment and investing his own time in their children #and fraternizing with people so below their class and worthless in their utility #so she’s like. keeping his secret because Honor. but also hates him for embarrassing her in front of the slaves. #and then she finds out that Christians gather at NIGHT like the cult of BACCHUS?? and do CANNIBALISM?? nah fam she is not having it #but who knows….maybe. he’s found out and sentenced to die and maybe. she save him ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #which would be a whole other can of fascinating worms to unpack bc maybe he WANTED to be a martyr maybe he was PREPARED #but I digress #it’d be a deep-study project but I’ve always been fascinated by the Romans so #x #writing
