All well and good Huggy, but were not talking about roman laws, we're talking about a fantasy narrative with a legal backdrop (donk donk). Or...did you think that any of that spoke to my post?
Rights are routinely shat upon in the best case scenario..first world, where we have swift and reliable means of confirmation. Now..remember, Ass end of the roman empire, at war, turn of the milllen.
Military personnel and police routinely do illegal things, routinely deprive people of their due process...and this is now, when we have swift and reliable means for determining that this has been done - some semblance of accountability. Now.......remember, ass end of the roman empire, at war, turn of the millen.
But, ignore all that...why did you leave out the roman -army- assigned to escort and the ships to carry him all the way to where he needed to get for the story to begin proper? Is there not some roman law that makes this feasible to you, which you can counter my -actual- objection with?
-If you're a roman legal buff, we can have that convo, but you....and this is ironic because I mentioned this type of mindset specifically in my post - swallowed this story whole. You are contented that rome had laws.....and for whatever reason, that small, irrelevant fact blinds you to the driving current of the narrative, and the specifics of that narraative as they apply to actual life beyond the covers of a book. This shit happens in stories, not in life. London is a real place- that was never attacked by an undead vampire lord, out to steal white women and children. The setting of a story, a place, or a place in time - is no indicator of the truth of it's contents....or, perhaps it is, and Dracula is a historical document?
