#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
