Salvete omnes,
I like that, mi Lucane--I *like* that!
Janus, the god of doorways...of thresholds...of boundaries. Janus, who sees into the past and the future. Why not Janus, who sees the deeds of the soldier and their future impact, and who is eminently (if not traditionally) qualified to see him across the boundary between life and afterwards, however the soldier envisions it?
Mehercule, if I weren't intent on being buried at sea, I'd ask for that one myself...!
(Marius wants to be a fossil when he grows up. He sees his best chances of that in the sediments accumulating under the Gulf of Texas.)
