Firstly, I don't think Marius is known today for being Caesar's uncle by marriage. Does anyone know that? No, he's still known as a father of the Roman army. But that backpack idea - a true win. The sword in the haunted room makes fascinating reading. The meteorological aspect of D-Day is touched upon in "The Longest Day", but it seems to get fuller treatment in "Pressure"; interesting. Mushrooms and fairies - like love and marriage... And the little blue octopus will make everyone happy, I think.
