There's a spiffy Gandharan relief in the BM with a clear-as-day telling of the Trojan Horse and Cassandra story.

Strong Mike Yarwood energy.

Yup, here we go.
Not entirely surprising, of course, since the discovery of the Monsoon Secret and with the extent of Indian trade Pliny talks about, as well as the ports on the Red Sea etc.

Thank god there's no apostrophe there.

Sure, all that. I'd add: deploy less frequently, but that comes with the numbers which ministers for decades told us were less necessary because of Improved Warfighting Lethality, or some such bollocks. (and also: job security, in basic terms. Make sure people know that they won't be SDRd out.
