Titus Norbanus Nepos was not a man to be crossed, literally or figuratively, as he marched down the streets toward his home.

The enormous, round building, held up by huge and mighty coluums, and made of strong stone, was a symbol of Rome’s wealth and glory.

Following on my video (yes, I am aware I am wearing a Star Wars t-shirt), I wanted to put in writing my initial thoughts on this news. Firstly, can I just say ‘YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!’.This is absolutely brilliant – we get to see the return of the brilliant Anson Mount as Captain Christopher Pike.

Sebastian Vettel, four-time world champion, will leave Ferrari, where he has been since 2015, at the end of the year.

Ekwueme rested in Nimr’s strong arms, enjoying the peace that came from satisfaction. He grinned up at him, eyes still full of mischief, and the promise of further glory.
