"We never doubted that the chauffeur knew himself to be the charioteer of the sun." - The Hermetic Library Blog

When we went downstairs, we felt like gods descending upon earth, immeasurably beyond mortality. With the cocaine, we had noticed that people smiled rather strangely. Our enthusiasm was observed. We even felt a little touch of annoyance at everybody not going at the same pace; but this was perfectly different. The sense of our superiority […]

Based on the Cromwell tank, the FV4101 Charioteer Medium Tank was a British medium tank of the early 1950s. Weight limits on the Cromwell’s suspension meant that the turret for the Charioteer had minimal armour (20-30mm), while at the same time being larger to accommodate the 84 mm (3.3 in) Ordnance QF 20 pounder gun (the Cromwell had a Ordnance QF 75 mm gun). https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/fv4101-charioteer-medium-tank/ #military #photography #FV4101Charioteer #Charioteer #CharioteerTank #MediumTank #Tank #BritishTank

The Charioteer: A Roman Adventure Story by Jemahl Evans [Book Review] - Themself

The Charioteer: A Roman Adventure Story by Jemahl Evans My rating: 5 of 5 stars The Charioteer by Jemahl Evans is the first in a new series. It is set in time of the emperor Justinian when the Roman Empire becomes the Byzantine Empire. Based on a marginal note in Procopius’s history about the first recorded industrial espionage. The Charioteer uses real characters from history that Jehmal Evans has skilfully woven together into a story as fine as the silk his characters are stealing the secret of making. The Charioteer There are three main characters, including the Charioteer, and a small cast of important supporting characters. We find them thrust into a quest to redeem themselves, or their family, by Narses, the Emperor’s treasurer. This quest sends them off along the silk road to meet a contact with silkworm eggs […]
