' Wrote:There's definitely an interesting concept here.
But I think the largest hole people are wondering about in your history is the connection back to Earth (Sol). Where were your people from? Why were they not on the Hispania if Italian or Liberty if American-Italian? Why the resurgence of the latin language and Roman culture?
Answer these questions in detail, and you'll have a good start.
Some first ideas that come to mind is a group of Catholic clergy or some such started the Latins...perhaps Latin was seen as a more pure language and one they would feasibly know.
If you're familiar with Jack Whyte, his Camulod story might be a good base as well. In that book, a group of Britons sees the end of the Roman Empire coming and established their own colony in southern Britain. They adhere to the discipline and military tradition of the Roman Empire (which had corroded in the Empire proper by then) but are governed by a civilian council. For RoL, this could be something like seeing the inevitable destruction the war on Earth would cause they left earlier, restructuring their society in the old ways of discipline and honor (a.k.a. Roman republic).
Thank you for the informations. I'll going to take 'into account your ideas. Now I'm working to the history, I think tomorrow I'll post a first form of Latins history.
