I think it was all the paradoxes of, and often cast as so militaristic, this vast military force but also we read all this love poetry. There is poetry you could write in a Valentine's card today by Catullus if you choose carefully. And the stuff you could insult people with as well, that's quite fun. We're finding new texts occasionally so there's this kind of detective aspect to it.
